Former NIAID Director Anthony Fauci, initially a media darling of the COVID-19 pandemic, might have been the orchestrator of a "massive cover-up," according to FDA Commissioner Marty Makary.
"One thing that’s extremely obvious that very few people realize, and certainly hardly anyone in the medical establishment where I come from realized, is that [Fauci] was involved in a massive cover-up of the origins of COVID, a massive cover-up," Makary, a former Johns Hopkins School of Medicine professor, told "Pod Force One."
"Whether or not he was involved in the experiments or funding the experiments that led to the origins of COVID, he was clearly 100% involved in the cover-up."
Makary said Fauci commissioned scientific articles dismissing the lab-leak theory and later cited them publicly.
After President Joe Biden took office in January 2021 – largely campaigning on the mishandling of COVID – he elevated Fauci to White House chief medical adviser.
Before leaving office in January 2025, Biden issued a slew of preemptive pardons to his operatives, including Fauci, albeit by autopen rather than by hand.
Makary linked Fauci’s 2024 presidential pardon to the alleged suppression efforts, calling the episode "an American tragedy."
When Newsmax attempted to reach Fauci for commment via Georgetown University, a spokesperson acknowledged Fauci’s link to the school but said "there is no contact information available."
Fauci has long denied wrongdoing.
"Only recently did Anthony Fauci take it to the next level of using science as political propaganda," Makary told host Miranda Devine. "He commissioned the pieces that lied about the COVID origins.
