(The Center Square) – The face of the COVID-19 era and a regular source of controversy, Anthony Fauci announced Monday he is stepping down from his role as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Chief of the NIAID Laboratory of Immunoregulation, and Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden.
In a statement, Fauci said he would leave the roles in December “to pursue the next chapter of my career.”
“It has been the honor of a lifetime to have led the NIAID, an extraordinary institution, for so many years and through so many scientific and public health challenges,” he said. “I am very proud of our many accomplishments. I have worked with — and learned from — countless talented and dedicated people in my own laboratory, at NIAID, at NIH and beyond. To them I express my abiding respect and gratitude.”
Fauci served as NIAID director for 38 years across several administrations. He came into the spotlight in 2020 when he became a leading voice for the response to COVID-19 and, subsequently, a leading critic of former President Donald Trump.
“While I am moving on from my current positions, I am not retiring,” he said. “After more than 50 years of government service, I plan to pursue the next phase of my career while I still have so much energy and passion for my field. I want to use what I have learned as NIAID Director to continue to advance science and public health and to inspire and mentor the next generation of scientific leaders as they help prepare the world to face future infectious disease threats.”
Though Fauci said he is not retiring, a recent analysis from Open the Books found that the first year of Fauci’s retirement pension will be over $414,000 annually, more than the president’s salary.
Good riddance!
PITY Its not coming sooner.
I hope they have saved him a spot in gitmo and reserved a firing squad for him.
along with gates, biden, schiff, pelosi and camala
he’ll probably work for a pharmaceutical company and Continue to try to KILL PEOPLE with other vaxes with “gain of function”.
He ought to be put in stocks in the center of DC and FLOGGED 24 hours a day!
He’ll run to China!!!! Just to escape prison.
Maybe he’s getting out, because he thinks the republicans will CRIMINALLY CHARGE HIM< if they win the senate??
YYYYYYAAAAA. Adios no amigo. And don’t let the door hit you in the rear as you leave. You a man of NO science. You are QUACK.
RayMan , Dr. FRAUDFAUCI needs to be IMPRISONED for the rest of his LIFE ! FRAUDFAUCI knew from the Start the the Vaccine wouldn’t help anyone that Caught the WUHEN FAUCI VIRUS that he helped Develope and Funded with the Help of the Chinese Communist Government ( CCP ).
Fauci needs to be brought up on charges of genocide on an almost holocaust scale. If all the real evidence is presented, he will be found guilty and he needs to at least spend the rest of his life in prison and forfeit any and all pension payments. In addition any and all patents he has been granted for his work on these viruses needs to be overturned. Personally, with all due respect to the victims of the Nazis, he should come to the same end (of a rope) the Nazis did.
Yea, he NEEDS TO be criminally charged. BUT i unfortunately, highly doubt he will.
The Rats are abandoning ship just before the Republicans take over…
As i said in that other thread, IT SHOULDN’T matter if they are still “in govt” or have resigned. IF THEY BROKE THE LAW (which fauci has), THEY SHOULD still get punished.
