Dr. Fauci got an InStyle cover
Dr. Anthony Fauci: Public-health expert, White House coronavirus task force leader, and … style icon? On Thursday, Fauci joined the likes of Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Jennifer Aniston by gracing the cover of InStyle magazine. Though the "special cover" is only available digitally, Fauci didn't seem out of place, photographed lounging by a pool in his backyard in a button-down shirt and dark glasses above the headline "The Good Doctor."
Fauci has recently faced criticism from some White House insiders, and he told InStyle he'd step down from the task force if he was no longer useful, valued, or wanted. But when he looks at his career as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, "with all due modesty, I think I'm pretty effective. I certainly am energetic. And I think everybody thinks I'm doing more than an outstanding job."
