RFK Jr. Fires Anthony Fauci's Successor Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo

She was a well-known advocate of COVID lockdowns, vaccine and mask mandates, and a vocal critic of hydroxychloroquine.

Oct 05, 2025

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has fired Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, the controversial Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

Dr. Marrazzo, who was appointed in 2023 under Joe Biden’s NIH as a replacement for serial liar Dr. Anthony Fauci, built her reputation as a loyal defender of the COVID regime: pushing lockdowns, championing vaccine and mask mandates for both adults and children, and smearing doctors who dared to question the official narrative.

She famously blasted physicians promoting hydroxychloroquine as “despicable” and accused them of “violating their oath.”

Before taking over at NIAID, Marrazzo was the director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

She worked closely with the World Health Organization (WHO) and other global bodies that sought to dictate pandemic policy worldwide.

She was placed on indefinite leave in March and, by September, had filed a whistleblower complaint with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, alleging unlawful retaliation.

In response, RFK Jr. fired her.

On Wednesday, CBS News reported that Dr. Marrazzo received a letter from Secretary RFK Jr. notifying her that she had been removed from her position as director of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Kennedy gave no explanation beyond citing his constitutional authority.
