I constantly see lunatics making threats against Fauci all over social media. To try and claim nobody cares and there's no threat is either completely ignorant (in case you need to STFU and go out and do some research) our straight-up dishonest gaslighting.

There is NO scenario whatsoever in which the claims of nobody caring about Fauci and him not having any threats against him are true.

You all need to stop repeating crap just because Trump said it. TRUMP IS A LIAR. This has been repeatedly proven. And repeating what Trump said only makes you either an ignoramus or a liar.

If there are indeed credible threats to his safety, did the Biden DOJ investigate them?

Crickets. If there were any credible threats, FBI would certainly have the perp behind bars. It’d be major news. Plain and simple.

Fauci didn’t make those decisions. He’s a public health expert, not a policy maker.


Fauci openly admitted in a testimony that he came up with the six feet apart policy because it seemed like a good idea, not because it was scientifically grounded.

The policy makers and people on state levels and in other agencies did everything Fauci suggested, so to imply he didn't make the decisions is incredibly distorting and misleading. They were glued to his words. I remember exactly what happened during COVID. As do millions of Americans. Which is why Fauci is very unpopular with large swathes of the country. His pardoning for all activities dating to 2014 (the year the Obama administration banned gain of function research) is telling and I'm sure it's not the last we've heard of him given that he is no longer protected by the 5th and can still be prosecuted for perjury in future testimonies.

Trump pointed out that Fauci is a private citizen and former government employees do not keep security details for life. If Fauci is worried about his safety, he can hire his own security detail. And as Trump also pointed out, Fauci has made himself a wealthy man because of the epidemic thanks to his publications. He can afford it.


I think Fauci did the best he could with the information he had.

With that said, the pandemic absolutely did make him exceedingly wealthy. If you don’t believe that, inquire about hiring him for a speaking engagement and see what he charges.


Hard to tell because I only see extremely RW media when I searched it. But those sources say *up to* $50,000-$100,000, which is extremely vague. And I did not see any specifics. Compared to other people of his stature, it is not outlandish. Trump has speaking fees in the millions. Such as $2.5M to call a fight.

But for some reason, when Trump makes money it is admirable and good business. When anyone does, it is greed.


No way Fauci is speaking anywhere for less than 300k. But anyhow, the point is, while he was at risk while in his position, he received security so he could continue to do his job, made millions off the pandemic (which is fine, not faulting him, just the reality). He hasn’t been working in government in years and there is no real reason for the tax payers to be funding his security. There is nothing petty about not funding lifetime secret service to him. His job is done, he can pay for any security he feels he needs now


Well I guess Trump’s children don’t need protection then. They are private citizens with mo government job.

Fauci is actually better off with his own security though. I would not trust Trump’s SS to protect him.


They are, by law, authorized government protection. Fauci isn’t. Hard to comprehend?

Why should the government provide security for a retired government employee who continues to enrich himself by attending numerous speaking engagements?

If he were actually fully retired living in obscurity and still getting credible threats maybe I could see that he needed security, but he continues to put himself into the spotlight. If he wants to keep enriching himself he should pay for his own security. He seems to crave never ending attention.

Do you have evidence that they did not? Provide us the details.


Restraining orders are public. See any taken out by Fauci?

US governors had authority to call for shutdowns in their states, not Tony Fauci. For some reason Trump hates Fauci when all he did was give advice from a public health perspective. Fauci became the face of the pandemic so Project 2025 and Trump unleash on him, but Trump's hate for Fauci is irrational and dangerous.

Face it, anybody can unwittingly find themselves in Trump's crosshairs.

About 15% of the population is addicted to alcohol. You can't have all those people detox during a pandemic.

Trump’s personal opinion of him is irrelevant. He isn’t entitled government security at this time. This shouldn’t even be news worthy

And why was he threatened by Iran? For carrying out Trumps policies. Should be a lesson for all those republicans groveling around him: he’ll throw you under the bus in a heartbeat. I really can’t fathom why they don’t see that.

No it wouldn't "be major news."

FBI investigates threats against public officials all the time, hundreds of cases a year. And sometimes they make arrests. But just because it wasn't headline news doesn't mean it didn't happen. For example, in 2024 they prosecuted 78 people for making threats against public officials, yet unless it was someone with a van full of explosives or someone caught with a sniper rifle a few dozen yards from his target, then no, most of them DO NOT end up "major news." If everything the FBI prosecuted were "major news" then the daily news would be completely dominated by FBI news.

So much for your "plain and simple." Your simplistic worldview is no reflection of reality.

You aren't entitled to say who is or isn't entitled to government security.

You are either completely ignorant or a brazen liar for continuing to push this narrative of how nobody has threatened Fauci.

Here's one as an example: https://www.justice.gov/usao-md/pr/man-who-made-threats-against-dr-anthony-fauci-and-other-federal-officials-sentenced-over

We don't need to tolerate liars. STFU and go away, troll.

Yes, in fact two people were arrested for threatening him.
