President-Elect Joe Biden just announced the members of his COVID advisory board on Monday, Nov. 9. The 13-member board, which will replace the current White House coronavirus task force when Biden takes office in January, will be led by three co-chairs: former FDA commissioner David Kessler, MD; former surgeon general Vivek Murthy, MD; and Marcella Nunez-Smith, MD, associate professor of internal medicine, public health, and management at Yale University.
One name, however, was noticeably absent from Biden's COVID task force: the country's most recognizable authority on all things coronavirus, Anthony Fauci, MD.
Speaking to Newsweek, Jeff Schlegelmilch, director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University's Earth Institute, explained that because Fauci is currently on Trump's task force, it would be "inappropriate" for Biden to name him to his advisory board at this point in the process
Deborah Birx, MD, who currently serves as coordinator of the Trump administration's coronavirus task force has also been left off Biden's list for the time being—at least in part for the same reason Fauci was. According to CNN, Birx has privately expressed interest in maintaining a similar role under the Biden administration. However, as of now there is no indication of how will play out.
