Robert F. Kennedy Jr., head of the Health and Human Services (HHS) under the Trump administration, reportedly personally approved the firing of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s wife, Christine Grady, from her post leading the National Institutes of Health Clinical Centers’ bioethics department. According to Politico, there was a “mass reduction in force across the health department, effectively gutted leadership at the NIH’s infections disease office and key parts of the Food and Drug Administration.” Kennedy is also said to have “reassigned” a handful of Fauci’s colleagues.
In a post on X, Kennedy acknowledged the mass overhaul taking place but said the move was necessary: “This is a difficult moment for all of us at HHS. Our hearts go out to those who have lost their jobs. But the reality is clear: what we’ve been doing isn’t working,” Kennedy wrote.
“Despite spending $1.9 trillion in annual costs, Americans are getting sicker every year. In the past four years alone, the agency’s budget has grown by 38% — yet outcomes continue to decline,” his post continued, emphasizing the need to “shift course.”
“HHS needs to be recalibrated to emphasize prevention, not just sick care. These changes will not affect Medicare, Medicaid, or other essential health services,” he assured.
“This overhaul is about realigning HHS with its core mission: to stop the chronic disease epidemic and Make America Healthy Again,” he added. “It’s a win-win for taxpayers, and for every American we serve.”
Politico’s report included information from 11 individuals, many of whom were granted anonymity for fear of retribution. The report stated that while some individuals were moved around, others claimed that some NIH leaders were encouraged to leave their jobs in the federal government altogether.

Fauci, who led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and served as a medical adviser to the White House during the pandemic, has come under fire for the past few years for giving out controversial advice, as he supported lockdowns, mass masking, and vaccines — none of which prevented transmission of the coronavirus.
It is flabbergasting and outrageous to see that this absolutely corrupt and demonic person could still have a job in the health care system. That couple has been raking in more rémunérations murdering people by the millions through their opinions based on nothing but the intent of reducing the population of the world, by creating an extermination process, selling it through their position of trust. These two deserve to spend the rest of their lives in prison. Not in luxury thanks to their obnoxious pensions and retirements and Social Security.
