In an Instagram interview in August 2020, actor Matthew McConaughey asked Fauci if he had millions of dollars invested in the vaccines.

Fauci laughed and said, “Matthew, no, I got zero! I am a government worker. I have a government salary,” failing to mention that his “government salary” was the largest in the entire federal government.
