Anthony Fauci is sick. Fauci, the infamous voice of science, has contracted West Nile virus, a mosquito-borne illness. He was hospitalized for six days and is now recovering at home. At 83 years old, one wonders how many more major illnesses he can endure.
As reported by the New York Post, Fauci is expected to fully recover.
"The virus typically spreads when Culex pipiens, the common Northern house mosquito, bite infected birds and then bite people and other creatures, according to the CDC. West Nile virus is the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the country, the agency said. The virus sent 1,800 to the hospital last year in the U.S., and was responsible for 182 deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control. There were 216 confirmed cases in 2024, the agency said. Symptoms may include headache, fever, aches, vomiting and other symptoms, but an estimated 80% of those who have the virus experience no symptoms at all. There are no known vaccines or treatments."
