According to the state-media outlet [[National Public Radio]], Fauci oversaw experiments on monkeys to develop an [[HIV]] vaccine.  The virus used to challenge the monkeys after vaccination was "a pretty hefty, robust" virus, as Fauci put it.<ref>https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2012/01/06/144778146/monkey-experiments-boost-hope-for-human-aids-vaccine</ref>  In December 2019, White Coat Waste Project (WCW) sued the National Institutes of Health (NIH) after it refused to release videos and other materials related to experiments on primates.<ref>https://youtu.be/7iIRLDh9X2A</ref>

In December 2021 Fauci paid $205,562 for researchers on [[transgender]] [[monkey]]s.  The study aims to determine why transgender women have high rates of [[HIV]]. As part of the study, researchers inject male monkeys with female hormones.

Critics call it another pointless, wasteful monkey torture experiment.  Dr. Katherine Roe, a neurologist, said "It's just bad science to suggest that dosing monkeys with feminizing medication makes them good stand-ins for humans. This study will not help to prevent or treat HIV and will not help transgender women."  Roe says the study is ineffective because monkeys cannot contract HIV. They contract Simian Immunodeficiency Virus, a milder form of the disease. She faults the National Institutes of Health for spending billions of dollars on using monkeys in HIV research, since the primates cannot contract AIDS.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/faucis-nih-division-paid-205k-for-researchers-to-study-transgender-monkeys/</ref>
