The Department of Health and Human Services has canceled a $168,000 contract for a museum exhibit for retired National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, according to the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency. 

"In the past 48 hours, HHS canceled 62 contracts worth $182 million," The department said in a Feb. 7 post on X. "These contracts were entirely for administrative expenses – none touched any healthcare programs. This included terminating a $168,000 contract for an Anthony Fauci exhibit at the NIH Museum."

The post also shows what appears to be a screenshot of the contract. 

The exhibit was scheduled for a completion in July, according to Fox News.com.

Fauci helped coordinate the nation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the first Trump administration, then the Biden administration. 

However, conservatives and others came to disagree with him over such issues as his guidance on wearing masks, social distancing and vaccines. He also publicly clashed with President Trump over such issues during the pandemic. He has also been criticized for his oversight of grant money that has gone to questionable research.

President Joe Biden pardoned Fauci, considered the country's leading expert on infectious disease, before leaving the Oval Office, in what was a preemptive measure over what Biden appeared to consider the possibiity of legal retribution.
