Anthony Fauci’s (Temporary) Replacement

Life is full of ironies.

It turns out that a former medical school classmate of mine holds Anthony Fauci’s old job at NIAID. I learned this just recently. He works under Jay Battacharya, MD, PhD– Trump’s NIH director.

This gentleman is an “Acting” director. I suspect this means he has not been confirmed by the Senate; and I am not aware that Trump has nominated him for the position permanently.

Trump has a bunch of “actings” because he is not being permitted to get his own people confirmed in the GOP-controlled Senate.
