On Tuesday, Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro laced into Dr. Anthony Fauci, who announced this week he will leave his job as President Biden’s chief medical advisor.

“I’ll be leaving these positions in December of this year to pursue the next chapter of my career,” Fauci stated.

“Going to stick around just long enough so it doesn’t look like he is bailing and running for the exits just before the Republicans take Congress,” Shapiro pointed out. “I think the assumption here is that he believes the Republicans are going to take Congress in November and he’s going to find himself back up under some sort of investigation come January when the Republicans actually take over the House.”

“The next chapter is presumably a $20 million autobiography paid for by Simon & Schuster or HarperCollins or something, a payment, just a boatload of money, and then seven people will actually buy it and those seven people will all be working for the Democratic Party,” Shapiro quipped.

After citing Fauci’s boasting that he wants “to inspire and mentor the next generation of scientific leaders as they help prepare the world for to face infectious disease threat,” Shapiro snapped, “Because he’s done an unbelievable job of this. He’s going to prepare the next generation to be just as crappy at this as he was.”

Shapiro turned to the interview Fauci conducted with The Washington  Post: “The same day that he releases his news about leaving NIAID, he also does a really, really self-serving interview with The Washington Post in which he talks about how wonderful, what a great job he did. He suggested that he really stood up to Donald Trump.”

“We played a major role in the development of the vaccines that have now saved millions of lives,” Fauci bragged.

“What major role did Dr. Fauci play in actually developing the vaccines?” Shapiro pointed out.

“I was put in a very unusual circumstance where the country was scared,” Fauci claimed. “They really wanted someone who was steady and honest and showed integrity and stuck with the facts. And I became the symbol of that.”

“There’s that trademark Anthony Fauci humility,” Shapiro declared, before playing a clip of Fauci bragging about the “Fauci effect.”

“Man, does Anthony Fauci love Anthony Fauci, that dude just loves that guy,” Shapiro commented. “You could tell that you could see in his documentaries. Hulu did a documentary on him at one point, and there is a picture of Anthony Fauci on the office wall of Anthony Fauci. Now, as a person who is relatively well-known, I can assure you this, my office does not include a giant portrait of me because this is the mark of a true douchebag.”

“I mean, just to put it absolutely bluntly, if you have a giant portrait of you sitting behind you, there are only two reasons for that,” Shapiro surmised. “One, you’re the dictator of a small communist country, or two, you are a douche bag.”

Shapiro turned to Fauci admitting he called for the country to be shut down, saying, “But there was no way to stop the explosive spread that we knew would occur if we didn’t do that.”

“You didn’t stop the explosive spread; as it turns out, the spread was never stopped,” Shapiro asserted. “Actually, the only thing that actually broke the vectors of the virus was the vaccine in terms of bringing down the deadliness of the disease, particularly among those who are highly, highly vulnerable.”

Shapiro noted Fauci’s flip-flopping on masks, his obfuscating the issue when it came to whether he had backed gain-of-function research, his refusal to consider whether COVID had originated in the lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and his support of mandating vaccines for children.

“Has there been a thing where Dr. Fauci wasn’t at some point wrong in this lesson?” Shapiro asked rhetorically. “I have a lot of sympathy for people who are in positions of public power when unforeseen circumstances occur. But this is the entire thing. You are the head of infectious diseases for the entire United States. This is not supposed to be the way that it works.”

“You’re not supposed to blow it eight ways from Sunday and then become a national hero just because people hate Trump. And that’s really what happened with Fauci: Fauci actually blew this job. Everyone knows he blew this job. … How many bureaucratic idiots have to be in charge of these massive three, four or five letter agencies before we realize that perhaps the bureaucracy is not good at his job, the elites blow it time and time again, and then we are told to trust them because, for example, they’re anti a politician that the media don’t like?” Shapiro stated.

He concluded, “So Dr. Fauci, good riddance. And I look forward to seeing you when you are next talking with Senator Rand Paul, except this time he’s the head of some sort of investigative committee.”
