RFK Jr. Fires Fauci's Wife Christine Grady from NIH Bioethics Department - Report | 3 April 2025 | President Donald Trump's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has fired Anthony Fauci's wife, Christine Grady, from her post heading up the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center's bioethics department, according to reports. Kennedy reportedly fired Grady on Tuesday, according to Politico, which spoke to several individuals familiar with the matter. Further, Kennedy is also said to have "reassigned" a handful of Fauci's colleagues. 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.
