Fauci

Fauci worked closely with the White House Coronavirus Task Force, the CDC, and international agencies like the WHO to shape U.S. and global COVID-19 policy.

He advised on the timing and scope of interventions such as nationwide lockdowns in early 2020, Operation Warp Speed vaccine rollout, and evolving mask mandates.

Fauci also coordinated with governments in Europe and Asia through joint panels and briefings, promoting mRNA vaccine adoption and aligning on travel protocols.

His guidance influenced U.S. federal funding for NIH-led vaccine trials and public messaging campaigns aimed at countering misinformation and increasing vaccine uptake.
