Dr. Anthony Fauci looks as if he got his groove back.

Fauci, head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, came out of his shell Thursday during a press conference, his first under the Biden administration.

“I can tell you, I take no pleasure at all in being in a situation of contradicting the President,” Fauci noting the fact he had been under the watchful eye of the Trump administration.

“The idea that you can get up here and talk about what you know, what the evidence, what the science is — let the science speak,” the beaming 80-year-old added. “It is somewhat of a liberating feeling.”

His visage even appeared to look 10 years younger.
