Dr. Fauci is married to Dr. Christine Grady, a bioethicist at the National Institutes of Health.....

Nice to read about his family--. They are like so many ordinary folks-in the midst of a pandemic.

It is so horrible that Fauci has to have security guards!!

Fauci and his wife, Dr. Christine Grady

Dr. Fauci is married to Dr. Christine Grady, a bioethicist at the National Institutes of Health. We first met her back in 2016 during a rare, relaxed evening of homemade rigatoni with Italian sausage.

She prefers to stay out of the spotlight, but agreed to sit down with us.

Dr. Jon LaPook: This pandemic has been rough on families all across America. What about yours?

Dr. Christine Grady: Yeah, it's been rough on ours in-- in a way that I think is similar to many other families. We haven't been able to see our children very often. I can't see my mom very often.

Dr. Jon LaPook: How old's your mom?

Dr. Christine Grady: She's 96.

Dr. Anthony Fauci: And she got COVID.

Dr. Christine Grady: And she got COVID.

Dr. Jon LaPook: Really?

Dr. Christine Grady: And she's in an assisted living facility. And-- and so they understandably have very restricted visiting. And so all of those kinds of things are really have been hard for us just like they have been for many, many families.

Dr. Jon LaPook: You get to see a Tony Fauci that the rest of us don't see. What frustrates him?

Dr. Christine Grady: The fact that, you know, the same message has to sort of be reiterated over and over again because either people don't hear it, or they don't believe it, or they don't adopt it. ......................

He has not used his status to see his mother in law despite the restrictions.
