Dr. Anthony Fauci’s successor is among the thousands to be dismissed from their roles in the health secretary’s latest wave of federal cuts that went into effect on Tuesday.
Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, who has served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was sacked from the agency, which had a $6.3 billion annual budget, CNNreported.
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his plans to slash 10,000 full-time employees across departments last week. This, in addition to the 10,000 employees who opted to leave, brings down the total number of staff from 82,000 to 62,000.
