"It is not hyoperbole to say that today I am the most famous and talked about person in the country and one of the most recognizable peson in the world."
Anthony Fauci, personal diary, 21 May 2020. The misspellings are his.
He got his wish. It would be our pleasure to keep him famous.
21 things his budget paid for, below.
II. WHAT IT COST
6. NIAID's biodefense budget went from $33 million in FY2000 to $1.658 billion in FY2005. A fiftyfold increase in five years. (NIAID, 17 March 2005)
7. Another $371 million came through the Buildings and Facilities line and was moved into biodefense research.
8. Eight Regional Centers of Excellence, about $350 million over five years. (HHS/NIAID, 4 September 2003)
9. Two National Biocontainment Laboratories at roughly $120 million each, plus nine Regional Biocontainment Labs.
10. $87 million more for four additional BSL-3 laboratories. (NIAID, 3 October 2005)
11. NIAID built its own facility at Fort Detrick for $105 million, deliberately co-located with the Army's bioweapons institute.
12. HHS committed $877.5 million to an anthrax vaccine before NIAID's own development contracts were finished. NIAID then cancelled milestones that undercut the contractor's ability to deliver. The contract was terminated. (GAO-08-208T)
III. WHAT NOBODY COULD COUNT
13. By 2007 the number of BSL-4 labs had gone from about five to fifteen, and auditors reported that "no single federal agency knows how many such labs there are in the United States." (GAO-08-108T)
14. GAO's own word for it: "Unwarranted expansion without adequate oversight is proliferation, not expansion."
15. BSL-3 labs at registered facilities tripled in four years, 415 to 1,362, and "no one is determining the aggregate risks associated with this expansion." (GAO-09-574)
16. Nine years later: the total "is unknown, as we found in 2009," and oversight remains "fragmented and self-policing." (GAO-16-642)
17. The program that tracks dangerous pathogens had reported 10 incomplete-inactivation incidents. GAO found 11 more it had not reported.
18. The program that polices the labs is not structurally independent from the labs it polices. (GAO-18-145)
19. In 2004, three researchers at a lab NIAID had just funded caught pneumonic tularemia. The first fell ill in May. Public health was not told until November. (Boston Public Health Commission)
20. In March 2005, 758 microbiologists, including two Nobel laureates, signed an open letter in Science protesting the diversion of NIH funds into biodefense.
21. As of January 2026, HHS still had not implemented GAO's 2023 oversight recommendations. (GAO-26-107348)
Twenty-one items. Twenty-one documents. None of it from a pundit.
THREK.
THEY RAN THE LARGEST PSYCHOLOGICAL CAMPAIGN IN HISTORY ON THEIR OWN CITIZENS.
Then they wrote it down. SPI-B, 22 March 2020: "The perceived level of personal threat needs to be increased among those who are complacent, using hard-hitting emotional messaging."
174 times on the record: I don't recall.
They will try it again.
I DON'T RECALL — out now. Dedicated to Anthony Fauci and everyone who took part.
They offered you a doughnut every day for a year.
Then a beer. Then fries, from the Mayor of New York. Then a joint, in a program called "Joints for Jabs." Then a shotgun, or a truck, if you lived in West Virginia. Then a million dollars, in a lottery Ohio named Vax-a-Million.
Nobody has ever offered you a free doughnut to take insulin.
"COVID-19 vaccines have saved more than 3 million American lives."
That's the poster behind him. Nobody counted three million people.
They ran a computer model of America with vaccines. They ran another with none. They subtracted one from the other. That gap is the number on the board.
He called it settled, then entered it into the record.
Sanitize. Six feet. Two doses.
Jason followed every rule they gave him. None of them covered what to do when your jaw locks up four hours after the second shot.
44 years old. One of the worst heart attacks in that cardiac unit.
Part 2 of 6. What did they tell YOU was "rare"? 👇

The pitch missed. The card sold 51,512 copies in 24 hours, the best-selling Topps Now card ever at the time.
In private: miscarriage after the second dose "theoretically" a concern. His colleagues: "good point."
Nine days later, on camera: "no red flags" for pregnant women and the vaccine.
The government sold the 8-month booster timing as science. His own diary: "That is just not true."
Under oath: "I don't recall." 174 times.
Then a preemptive pardon.
The pitch missed. So did the accountability.
New song next week.
Fauci said "I don't recall" 174 times under oath.
So we wrote him a song to help him remember.
Penicillin didn't have a jingle. Nobody danced for insulin. Since when does a thing that works need a jackpot to make it real?
Their words. Their receipts. We just added a beat.
Full song soon. With @NicHulscher
Every frame is sourced. Hear the full track first: wearethrek.com
He thought it was side effects. By the time anyone checked, the heart attack was 36 hours old.
Jason. Chef for 30 years. Father of six. Part 1 of 6.
