We don’t hear much about this guy anymore. Frankly, I’m surprised he is being recognized in this way.

Macalester names Fauci, Christine Grady as 2026 commencement speakers and honorary degree recipientsMacalester College has named Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Christine Grady as keynote speakers for its 2026 commencement ceremony and said both will receive honorary degrees.The Minnesota college announced on its website that Fauci and Grady will deliver the address for the class of 2026. In the announcement, Macalester President Suzanne M. Rivera described the couple as “giants in the fields” who “have devoted their careers to improving human health around the globe.”Rivera also said she was “delighted to celebrate their many contributions to science by awarding them honorary degrees.”Fauci, who became a central public figure during the federal government’s COVID-19 response, has also faced years of political and public controversy.In 2025, the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs claimed it had evidence that Fauci deleted records related to “the origins of COVID-19, gain-of-function research, EcoHealth Alliance, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and other key actors.”That same year, President Joe Biden granted Fauci a pardon covering “any offenses against the United States” related to his service as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force or COVID-19 Response Team, or chief medical advisor to the president.Macalester’s announcement did not publicly address those controversies and instead focused on Fauci’s and Grady’s medical and public-health careers as the basis for the college’s recognition and selection.Fauci has also continued to receive recognition from universities. He was selected by Case Western Reserve University’s Inamori International Center for Ethics and Excellence for its 2024 Inamori Ethics Prize, as reported by Campus Reform.
