NYT: Anthony Fauci’s Wife Fired From NIH

Brett T. | 9:00 PM on April 02, 2025

As Twitchy reported Tuesday, The Bulwark's Sam Stein was shocked by the "absolute bloodbath" at the Health and Human Services Department, the National Institutes of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control. As Reuters reported:

The Trump administration began mass layoffs of 10,000 staffers at U.S. health agencies on Tuesday, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation, with security guards barring entry to some employees just hours after they received dismissal notices.
…
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has described the cuts, which combined with other recent departures will reduce total headcount to 62,000 from 82,000, as essential to streamlining a bloated bureaucracy.

Of course, there were the chicken littles who crowed about all of the scientists being fired, when the department's leadership said it had targeted "positions in human resources, procurement, finance, and information technology."

One high-profile person was included in the "bloodbath" — Dr. Anthony Fauci's wife, bioethicist Christine Grady.

Here's a flashback to Grady during the COVID-19 pandemic telling nurses to get vaccinated or lose their jobs.

During the pandemic Fauci's bioethicist wife, Christine Grady, offered nurses a choice: Get vaccinated, or lose your job.

Yesterday, she was offered a choice: Transfer to an office in Alaska, or lose your job.

What's fair is fair. Everyone deserves a choice. pic.twitter.com/TG55yICr1I

🚨 #BREAKING: Dr. Fauci’s “wife” has been FIRED from the NIH, per NYT

Good! Should’ve happened a long time ago!

She was the head of “bioethics” at NIH, ironically, and got sacked along with several NIH officials this week.

… she's been fired unless she can find a federal judge to force Trump to rehire her.

Best news today! Long overdue.

Wake me when he goes to jail.

She needs to be arrested too. I don’t know how old she is, but Fauci is too old to serve any substantial time, and she can serve more most likely women live longer.

I’ll pray they can get by on their $400k annual income and the money they made from Dr. Mengele’s book sales.

We admit we're not saddened by this news.
