Washington, D.C. — Former pandemic response leader Dr. Anthony Fauci, who faced significant public backlash and death threats during the COVID-19 crisis, has maliciously lost his federally funded security detail under President Donald Trump’s administration.
Sources close to the situation disclosed the decision to multiple media outlets, stating that Fauci’s protection was initially provided by federal marshals and later transitioned to a private contractor funded by the federal government. The sudden withdrawal has raised concerns about Fauci’s safety, particularly given the ongoing hostility directed toward him by some segments of the public.
Dr. Fauci became a polarizing figure during the pandemic, lauded by some as a voice of science and reason, while others criticized his recommendations as overly restrictive. Threats to his safety became so severe during his tenure that government-funded protection was deemed necessary.
The administration’s decision to terminate this security detail has drawn scrutiny from some observers, who argue that such measures could jeopardize the safety of high-profile public figures facing credible threats. Critics see it as another example of political divisions influencing decisions about personal safety.
As of now, it remains unclear whether Fauci will seek alternative private security arrangements or whether additional measures will be taken to ensure his safety moving forward. Advocates and public figures have called for continued vigilance against threats targeting former officials who played critical roles in managing the pandemic.
