Fauci was planning to attend the dinner as a guest of ABC News, according to CNN, but the latest contagious variant of the virus appears to have raised enough concerns from the doctor to back out.
Fauci told the New York Times his decision was based on “my individual assessment of my personal risk.”
Others attending the dinner, despite concerns for their personal risk, include Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson as guests of ABC/Disney.
The WHCA announced two weeks ago that proof of a coronavirus vaccine would be required to attend the dinner, citing Fauci’s discussion on ABC News of whether or not the event would be safe.

Guests of the dinner are required to demonstrate their vaccine status using the Bindle app on their phones to get allowed into the event.
President Joe Biden has already made plans to attend the dinner, White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed on Tuesday.
She said Biden would still attend, despite the risk, to demonstrate the importance of journalism.
“It’s an opportunity to honor the work of all of you and many of your colleagues and to talk about the importance of journalism in the world,” Psaki said to reporters on Tuesday.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
