32 checks for “Anthony Fauci”
FactCheck.org says: Documents obtained by Open The Books show Fauci and Collins got 58 royalty payments from 2010 to 2021 for their research. Only three of the payments came in 2020 or 2021; the rest were prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
PolitiFact says: A tweet took a quote from Dr. Anthony Fauci out of context. Fauci did not say that mask mandates as part of the COVID-19 response were a failure. Mask mandates were not discussed in the article in which he was quoted.
PolitiFact says: There has been at least one new COVID-19 variant recorded since Fauci stepped down as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in December 2022.
FactCheck.org says: The $9 million grant was reviewed and scored by groups of independent scientists prior to public disclosure of the novel coronavirus outbreak.
FactCheck.org says: In 2005, Fauci told the Associated Press that he donates royalty payments he receives from the licensees of treatments and other products he helped develop while working for the NIH.
FactCheck.org says: The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said Fauci still makes regular Clinical Rounds at the NIH Clinical Center, including COVID-19 patients.
PolitiFact says: A 1984 video clip shows Dr. Anthony Fauci reflecting on how AIDS emerged in the United States, not plotting the pandemic.
PolitiFact says: The video is from March 2020, when COVID-19 test availability was limited and tests were prioritized for specific groups. Fauci said at that time he wasn’t getting a test because he didn’t have symptoms.
PolitiFact says: The reference -- at a public event recorded by C-SPAN -- to a “universal” flu vaccine meant one that could provide long-lasting protection against multiple flu strains, eliminating the need for annual flu shots.
PolitiFact says: The count is about right, but the standard for the courts is deeply held, sincere religious beliefs.
PolitiFact says: A social media post using old Fauci email falsely claims that Fauci ‘lied’ about mask wearing
PolitiFact says: The officials did not say anything about employees who refused to be vaccinated. They estimated 50% to 60% of workers in the two agencies have been vaccinated.
PolitiFact says: A 2008 study, co-authored by Dr. Fauci, found that bacterial pneumonia caused a majority of deaths in the 1918 influenza pandemic. The study made no mention of masks.
FactCheck.org says: Fauci was referring to the efforts of federal public health officials, not specifically to Trump. Even though they are members of the Trump administration, that is not the same thing as praising Trump's response.
PolitiFact says: The full context of the quote shows that Fauci was talking about the White House coronavirus task force and the mobilization of the federal government more generally.
FactCheck.org says: In fact, Fauci has said — at briefings attended by Trump — that there is no evidence that hydroxychloroquine works for COVID-19.
