Fauci Says He's Considering Stepping Down

Consider faster. Please.

[THEEPOCHTIMES] Dr. Anthony Fauci said in a new interview that he is considering stepping away from the position he’d held since 1984.Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), was asked during a podcast released March 18 whether he was mulling retirement or transitioning to a less-demanding job.

"I certainly am because I’ve got to do it sometime," Fauci, 81, said.

"I can’t stay at this job forever, unless my staff is going to find me slumped over my desk one day. I’d rather not do that," he added.

Fauci was appointed to his position in 1984 during the Reagan administration.

Fauci’s comments came after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) failed in his effort to get support for a measure that would eliminate the NIAID and create three new institutes in its stead.

Paul, who has clashed with Fauci during multiple congressional hearings, said Fauci has become has become a "dictator-in-chief."

"No one person should have unilateral authority to make decisions for millions of Americans," Paul, a doctor, said.

Fauci and his agency had not responded to requests for comment on the measure.

Paul and other Fauci critics have taken issue with how the doctor misled the public on his agency’s funding for the Chinese lab located near the first cases of COVID-19 were recorded, his support for harsh measures during the pandemic, and his admission that he lied about the effectiveness of masks because of worries there wouldn’t be enough for health care workers.

Fauci, who has also been preparing for investigations Republicans have pledged into the COVID-19 response, has called Paul a partisan whose accusations aren’t rooted in facts.

Without mentioning Paul, the podcast host asked Fauci in the new interview whether he would leave his post soon, noting that besides Dr. Francis Collins, who exited from his position as director of the National Institutes of Health in late 2021, Jeffrey Zients was stepping down as the White House COVID-19 response coordinator.

#7 He’s a narcissist. He’s not going anywhere unless, MSNBC is willing to pay him Chris Cuomo money. Why would he trust some lackey to not throw him under the bus. As far as Tony is concerned, the American people can’t handle the truth.
