Two points - he's worked for the government Since 1968. And he probably wasn't always politically shilling as he has been the last several years. May 2021 - "If you are vaccinated you will not get Covid." Must be his Jesuit education - Regis HS and then College of the Holy Cross. And I could be wrong; he's been head of Infectious Diseases going all the way back to Reagan! So perhaps he's always been office politics astute. Read the excerpt below to see he REALLY owes a lot to George Bush 43. Here he is on the cover of In Style magazine (they ceased doing a print publication a few months after this) - "With all due modesty I think I'm pretty effective".
This week, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), announced his retirement effective January 2025. By then, he will have turned 85 years old and served in the federal government for 59 years.
Our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com crunched Fauci’s cash pension payout as of his anticipated retirement date.
Today, Fauci earns a federal salary of $480,654 per year. However, by 2024, Fauci will likely be making $530,000 in salary – an increase of nearly $200,000 since 2014.
Therefore, we estimate that Fauci’s first year pension payout will exceed $414,000 – more than the salary for the President of the United States ($400,000).
In 2021, in my then-column at Forbes, we first reported that Fauci was the most highly compensated federal employee making $417,608 (2019, last available salary) and then earned $434,312 in 2020. For both years, Fauci was the top-paid federal employee, out earning “the president, four star generals, and roughly 4.3 million of his colleagues."
Fauci’s salary then increased to $456,028 (2021) and he makes $480,654 today. We estimate he’ll make $504,686 (2023) and then $529,921 (2024).
So, in December 2021 (published at Forbes), we estimated that Fauci’s pension would exceed $355,000 per year—the most lucrative in federal history. However, Fauci didn’t retire and now the numbers are a lot larger.

How does Fauci outearn everyone at the federal level?
After all, he heads up a relatively small subagency of the National Institutes of Health -- itself just one agency within the Department of Health and Human Services.
Fauci's massive pay increase actually dated back to the George W. Bush administration. We unearthed a 2004 memo outlining a "permanent pay adjustment" for his biodefense work. Think of it as a permanent bonus.
So, Fauci made more than his boss – NIH Director Francis Collins ($203,500); he outearned Collin's boss, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra ($203,500); and his pay drafted President Joseph R. Biden’s pay too ($400,000).
There's more if you hit the link. And see the "Further Reading" links at the end.
This is yet another sickening example of the countless corrupt officials in the Deep State who get away with their serious crimes in this life. But let us thank God that His Justice will be waiting for them in the next!
