You can’t help but notice something about the world of politics—many officials, particularly on the Democrat side, tend to fail upwards. The worse their performance, the better they seem to fare. If you need examples, just take a look at California Gov. Gavin Newsom or former Vice President Kamala Harris, two people who kept getting elected to higher offices despite their abysmal failures.
Failure has been good to Dr. Tony Fauci, who, despite his disastrous and often dishonest handling of the COVID pandemic, just keeps getting richer. He’s not technically a politician, but he is 100 percent a political animal. His retirement is going well:
Former White House Chief Medical Advisor Anthony Fauci earned $3.5 million in his first year of retirement from government and may have misled Congress about the date of his departure, documents reveal.
Fauci received several six-figure deposits through 2023 totaling $1.15 million according to a 141-page financial disclosure obtained by Open The Books, a government watchdog group.
The documents do not describe the source of the deposits.
Dr. Fauci MUST BE CHARGED for being a ‘Pandemic Planner’.

He LIED to everyone about ‘Covid’. HIS OWN EMAILS prove this.

Fibbin’ Fauci is making his millions off a book deal, speaking gigs, a huge pension, and presumably whatever else he can get his hands on.
Fauci leveraged his celebrity status as the top trusted messenger on COVID-19 to pad his earnings in 2023, just as newly empowered Congressional investigators sharpened their focus on the ways Fauci betrayed the public’s trust at the pandemic’s height.
Fauci sold his memoir to a subsidiary of Penguin Random House for a reported $5 million in March 2023. That news coincided with a March 2023 congressional memo showing Fauci had privately “prompted” an influential paper dismissing the theory that COVID could have resulted from a lab accident. On July 1, 2023, Fauci began an appointment at Georgetown University as distinguished university professor in both the School of Medicine and School of Public Policy.
COVID was very, very good to him:
Fauci’s final government salary totaled an unprecedented $480,654, the highest salary earned by any of the roughly 2.4 million employees who work for the federal government, including the president, according to Open The Books. Fauci continues to accept a six-figure pension.
Fauci’s net worth roughly doubled from $7.6 million the year prior to the COVID-19 pandemic in January 2019 to $15 million in 2023. Fauci also received taxpayer-funded transportation and security detail via the U.S. Marshals Service as a private citizen in 2023.

A Fitting Farewell to Fibbing Fauci—a Roundup of His Greatest Misinformation Hits
Fauci was a disaster for this country (and to my family, so it’s personal), and it’s galling that he’s living high on the hog, hauling in all this cash off his failures. We must remind him and the world constantly of who he really is and what he really did.
Sadly, he’s probably on a beach somewhere blasting this classic.
Joe Biden, Anthony Fauci and Co.’s response to COVID was one of the biggest unconstitutional power grabs of all time.
