On Dec. 31, a decades-long saga came to an end—although that "end" is proving to be particularly beneficial to the person involved. We're speaking of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the man who has headed up the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) for decades. Fauci, who is 85 years old, has worked in the federal government for a staggering 59 years. Despite a litany of failures and outright lies, he is now the recipient of a pension befitting a president—or perhaps more accurately, exceeding a president. Fauci, who earns an incredible federal salary of $480,654 per year, is estimated by Open the Books to receive an annual pension of $414,000 per year for the rest of his life.
