Actor Matthew McConaughey interviewed Dr. Anthony Fauci on Instagram on Aug. 13 [2020] and asked the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases about matters related to the current epidemic.

McConaughey: “Do you have money invested in a vaccine?”

Fauci: “Zero! I am a government worker and I have a government salary.”

In 2019, Fauci’s salary was $417,608, according to FedsDataCenter.com. The salary information comes from public records released by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and other government agencies.

According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the average private sector worker earns compensation (salary plus benefits) worth $77,700 per year in this country. The average compensation of state and local government workers is worth $95,700 per year. Federal government workers collect and average $124,600 per year in pay and benefits."

Fauci is 80 years old. He's in good shape for 80! But aren't there any people under geriatric age who can lead this country? Two past presidents who are generally highly rated are JFK and Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy was just under 43 yo when he became president and JFK was approx 43 yo when elected. Biden is the oldest person to become president. Fauci is 80 yo.
Age bigotry is a bad as racism.

Well, he claimed to be just another government employee,
but didn't mention that he was the highest paid employee in the Federal Government.

I'm a retired internist and familiar with Fauci since the early AIDS days. Liberal and registered Independent since 1982.

He even went so far as to tell people to keep going on cruises after the Diamond Princess turned into a sailing infection Petri dish. And, oh, the whole mask crapola. I just don’t understand why he isn’t universally trashed, let alone why he is worshipped. He was supposed to be the expert.
Yes, we were repeatedly warned by the Chinese medical doctor group. Before March 2020 they were telling the world in their online MD Journal that the virus would especially hit very hard in congregate group settings of old people. i.e. Rest homes. Fauchi et al did zero to prepare rest/nursing homes for the coming wave of strong flu-like symptoms and disease. Nothing. But hey, they sure had those healthy young first responder Union members all protected and tested early on, while the old folks were dying in rest/nursing homes. MSM repeatedly said not to listen to anything coming out of China. Liars. When will MSM admit they murdered thousands of people through their stupid greed and neglect?

He is not a dictator. If he had been there would have been a much more medically conservative management of the country. But we are certainly not China, and that sort of control of course would not be swallowed by at least half our people here.

Shoulda, coulda, woulda. It all gets down to the balance of knowledge and worry. How much action to take and when? All much easier to do by those sudden arm chair specialists not in positions of responsibility and looking retrospectively.

I think it's a legitimate question -- not "age bigotry" -- whether American society right now might be far too keen on cheering governmental officials on for keeping their jobs, regardless of competence/results, for as long as they can. From where I'm sitting, it looks like we have a plethora of incredibly old public officials AND a government that doesn't really work for us.

Fauci can be Exhibit A for this view even if you don't ascribe any gross incompetence, malfeasance, or conflict of interest to him. I think we might be overrating longevity/legacy and it might have very real costs for us.

I have always been critical of Fauci, since way back. His age is NOT the problem. If he were black, would you say his mistakes were caused by his being black?
