A public-affairs specialist at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases will retire after revelations that he used a pseudonym online to savage the government response to the covid-19 pandemic including the work of Anthony S. Fauci, who heads that agency, an NIAID spokeswoman said Monday.
William Crews told NIAID officials he will retire after the Daily Beast revealed he is also the managing editor of the conservative website RedState.com, where, under the pseudonym streiff, he has ridiculed the governments activity against the coronavirus outbreak, according to the NIAID spokeswoman, who asked not to be identified because the matter involves personnel.
The spokeswoman, who confirmed the Daily Beasts reporting that Crews is the pseudonymous writer, said the agency had learned of the matter Monday morning.
The Daily Beast reported that Crews, as streiff. has called Fauci a mask nazi, and implied that government officials responsible for the pandemic response should be executed. Its unclear whether Crews had direct dealings on the job with Fauci, the nations top infectious-disease official and one of the leaders of the governments response to the pandemic.
