Aljazeera reports that the 81-year-old scientist who serves as chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden tested positive during a rapid antigen test. According to the NIH, Fauci, who is vaccinated and double boosted, had been in contact with the United States president.
During the early stage of the COVID pandemic, Dr. Fauci worked to contain the virus and reduce its spread. In turn, he became the most recognizable public figure doing that.
