In a move that has raised concerns about his safety and well-being, former President Donald Trump has reportedly terminated the security detail for Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The security detail, which was being provided and paid for by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), had been necessary due to the threats Fauci faced, including death threats and harassment against him and his family.
Fauci’s Role in the COVID-19 Pandemic Response
Dr. Fauci was a key figure in the Trump administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As the director of NIAID, he played a crucial role in advising the administration on mitigation efforts, such as mask-wearing and social distancing. However, his relationship with Trump was often tense, with the two frequently disagreeing on the best course of action to combat the pandemic.
Threats and Harassment Against Fauci
Due to his prominent role in the pandemic response, Fauci faced a barrage of threats and harassment, including death threats and vandalism against his home. The security detail provided by the NIH was necessary to ensure his safety and well-being. However, with Trump’s decision to terminate the security detail, concerns are being raised about Fauci’s ability to protect himself and his family.
Reaction to Trump’s Decision

Implications of Trump’s Decision
