Just In: Important Update on Dr. Fauci from Brooklyn

A Career Spanning More Than Five Decades
Anthony Stephen Fauci was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1940. His roots in the city make the latest confirmation especially symbolic. Raised in a working-class family, he pursued medicine with determination, eventually earning his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College.

By the late 1960s, Fauci joined the National Institutes of Health (NIH), where he began a career that would span more than half a century. Over time, he rose to become the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a role he held for decades.
