Indeed, Fauci and other doctors who are members of the advisory group, including Centers for Disease Control and Prevention chief Robert Redfield, Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Stephen Hahn and Brett Giroir, an assistant secretary at the Department of Health and Human Services, have less power than their public profiles suggest.
Fauci said Tuesday that he hasn't spoken to Trump in about two-and-a-half weeks but believes that he has access through Vice President Mike Pence, who sits above the physicians advisory group and the three other leadership teams as head of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. Giroir said Tuesday that he will remain the point person for testing, but the organizational chart shows that he will have decision-makers above him. And he acknowledged that he is reducing his focus on COVID-19 as he resumes work on other items in his portfolio at the U.S. Public Health Service.
Birx and Azar also serve on the Unified Coordinating Group leadership board, which has the most extensive structure after months of working on health data and supply chain issues, along with Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Pete Gaynor. And the Domestic Manufacturing group is led by Trump assistant Peter Navarro, Boehler and Defense Department official Stacy Cummings.
