Dr. Fauci’s Wife is Not Involved in Vaccine Approvals

This month, a range of social media posts began appearing on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook that claimed that there was a major ethical violation regarding the approval of the coronavirus vaccinations. These claims centered around Dr. Anthony Fauci’s wife, Dr. Christine Grady. They stated that every mainstream news outlet had failed to mention that Dr. Grady is the National Institutes of Health’s chief of bioethics and human subjects research and that she had “rubber-stamped” exceptions to drug and vaccine testing regarding coronavirus. 

These claims then gained hundreds of interactions on social media. As of May 25th, social media accounts were still regularly repeating these claims.
