In the final hours of his term, President Joe Biden issued a preemptive pardon for Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Fauci, who advised seven presidents over nearly four decades, was instrumental in managing responses to major health crises like HIV/AIDS, Ebola, and Zika. His leadership in PEPFAR, a global AIDS initiative, is credited with saving 25 million lives. Despite his significant contributions, Fauci faced criticism and threats of investigations related to his handling of the COVID-19 response. Biden praised Fauci’s service, stating that his efforts made the U.S. safer and healthier. Fauci retired at the end of 2022 after serving as Biden’s Chief Medical Advisor during the height of the global health crisis.
