Fauci Announces He Will Be Leaving His Job

Dr. 👤Anthony Fauci said in a new interview that he will be retiring at the end of President Joe Biden’s term.

Fauci is currently the Chief Medical Officer to the president, as well as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, according to Fox News.

Fauci made the comments in an interview with Politico.

“I don’t think there is anything else that I, Tony Fauci, can do except leave behind an institution where I have picked the best people in the country, if not the world, who will continue my vision,” he said.

“We’re in a pattern now. If somebody says, ‘You’ll leave when we don’t have Covid anymore,’ then I will be 105. I think we’re going to be living with this,” he said in the interview.

Fauci said he expects a contentious year if Republicans, with whom he has sparred, gain a majority in either house of Congress.

“They’re going to try and come after me, anyway. I mean, probably less so if I’m not in the job,” he said. “I don’t make that a consideration in my career decision.”

“I don’t think they can say anything about the science,” he said. “If that’s what you want to investigate, be my guest. My telling somebody that it’s important to follow fundamental good public health practices … what are you going to investigate about that?”
