A virologist who supports gain-of-function research and believes COVID-19 evolved naturally is the new acting director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the agency Dr. Anthony Fauci led for 38 years.
Jeffery Taubenberger, M.D., Ph.D., a 19-year veteran of NIAID and chief of the institute’s Viral Pathogenesis and Evolution Section, replaced Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, who was placed on leave last month by the Trump administration.
Citing an email from Dr. Matthew Memoli, deputy director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Science reported that Taubenberger’s first day as acting director was April 25. Taubenberger will head an institute with a $6.56 billion budget, making it the second-largest NIH branch, overseen by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Several researchers told Science that Taubenberger has a commendable track record, highlighting his work sequencing the Spanish flu virus of 1918.
Adolfo Garcia-Sastre, Ph.D., a virologist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, said Taubenberger “has made many critical contributions to the field of influenza, both in pathogenesis, animal models, human data, and vaccines.”
But critics point to Taubenberger’s public support of gain-of-function research and the zoonotic theory of COVID-19’s origins, which holds that the virus crossed over naturally from animals to humans.
They also criticized his past ties to Fauci and other controversial virologists, and his prior work on COVID-19 vaccines.

POTUS needs to replace him NOW with someone who has a heavy hand and willing to make both a culling and hand over evidence to DOJ for prosecutions (re 'the other story').
Where’s justice? Fauci deserves the beagle treatment. FAF.
All of the people “moving up” in government ought to be vetted with a basic analysis —
Did they help the Biden Admin? Did they support the ideas of the Biden Admin? Do they have a past history of working against Trump or speaking out against Trump?
There are plenty of fish in the sea. Do not put your opponents on your team.
Someone has to answer the emails and go to the meetings.
The whole sewer of government “health” is filled with people who don’t believe in God other than their will to play god.
Indeed. It seems like NIH/HHS is being run by leftists.
Good post—and fair—as long as RFK Jr. fires him soon.
Then the emails will just have to wait.
Lol.
Almost every nook and cranny of .gov is run by leftists.
That is one reason why massive staff and management cuts are needed.
Every time a leftist government worker loses their job an angel sings.
How is it possible to revisit the same chaos and fraud by appointing a carbon copy of the little worm who got us into all this?
Did RFK appoint the new person? Name please!! There are way TOO many nameless f*&ks runnig around playing God with our lives!!
Good luck getting that by Trump’s pharma-lobbyist chief of staff.

It’s easy to believe the theory that protects your paycheck.

the Terminators will never stop trying to depopulate the world .
( Incidentally the same goal as Satan ).
This absurd decision is 100% on Trump.
They got rid of Fauci’s replacement and temporarily replaced her with this guy. Maybe they will do a better job with a permanent replacement.
I don’t know but I agree with your statement.
Trump is claiming that?
You need to ask Trump why Jeffery Taubenberger was NOT fired on Trump's first day in office.
Mark Twain called that a corn-pone opinion, “tell me where a man gets his corn pone, and I’ll tell you where he gets his opinions”.

You need to stop being a vicious ankle biter. Your nemesis Tubenberrker way way down the chain of command. They will get to him eventually, I am sure, if he is that obstructive. I would like Trump to find out why Muriel bowser is not collecting my garbage also. Maybe I should waste his time and ask him that question. Or maybe I should just cheer him on for the amount he has got done and tell him to keep going as fast as he can.
Sea-lioning...
Ankle biter...
Re: Your nemesis Tubenberrker "...way way down the chain of command..." They will get to him eventually...
Say what?
A couple of hours ago, you claimed that Taubenberger was "...the next senior in line..."
You are having a bad day, Troll.
