Fauci, who has served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, has become a target of threats due to his prominent role in the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Anthony Fauci, the renowned immunologist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), has been placed under protection by law enforcement following a series of credible threats against him.

Fauci has become a target due to his vocal advocacy for public health measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, including mask-wearing, social distancing, and vaccinations. His outspokenness has drawn criticism from certain quarters, leading to threats against his safety.

"Dr. Fauci has been a tireless advocate for public health throughout his career, and his work has saved countless lives," said a spokesperson for NIAID. "We are deeply concerned about the threats he has received and are taking all necessary measures to ensure his safety."
