Christine Grady serves as the head of the Department of Bioethics at the NIH, which was not involved in approving the Pfizer vaccine.Social media posts claimed that Christine Grady, wife of Dr. Anthony Fauci, is the acting head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which authorized the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. But Grady is the Chief of Bioethics and Head of Section on Human Subjects Research at The National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH was not involved in approving Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S.

The FDA announced on August 23, 2021, that the first Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine had been approved. The vaccine will now be known as Comirnaty and will be used to prevent COVID-19 in those aged 16 and up. It's also still available with an emergency use license (EUA), including for children aged 12 to 15 and for providing the third dose to certain immunocompromised people.

According to the FDA website, Janet Woodcock, the current acting head of the FDA, was appointed in January 2021. The director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), Peter Marks, licenses vaccine candidates for use in the United States.

Dr.Fauci has been targeted by a wave of misinformation since the COVID-19 outbreak. However, Grady is not an acting head of the FDA but the NIH chief of bioethics, who has not been involved in vaccine approval.

The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to a lot of potentially dangerous misinformation. For reliable advice on COVID-19, including symptoms, prevention, and available treatment, please refer to the World Health Organization or your national healthcare authority.
