Did Fauci Just Hint He'll Be Stepping Down Soon?

Is Dr. Anthony Fauci’s time as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) coming to an end soon? In a new interview, the embattled architect of our nation’s response to the COVID pandemic said he’s considering stepping down.



“I certainly am,” Fauci, who has been serving in the same position since 1984, said on ABC News’ Start Here podcast released Friday.



“You always said you were going to see this through. Right? Pandemic happens, ‘I’m going to see this through.’ It’s been two years now. … Are you thinking about scaling back your responsibilities here at some point?” host Brad Mielke asked Fauci.



“Well, I have said that I would stay in what I’m doing until we get out of the pandemic phase, and I think we might be there already,” Fauci replied. “If we can stay in this then we’re at a point where I feel that we’ve done well by this.”



Fauci nevertheless said he doesn’t “have any plans right now to go anywhere, but you never know.”



Mielke then asked if he was considering retirement or stepping back into a more consultant role.



“I certainly am,” Fauci told him. “Because I’ve got to do it sometime. 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.”



Fauci previously dismissed the possibility that he had any intention of stepping down when asked by conservative talk radio Hugh Hewitt last fall.



“I’ve lost confidence in the CDC and the FDA. And I actually believe a lot of Americans, a significant part of America, now have lost confidence in you, Dr. Fauci. Is there a point where you will say I do more harm than good because people don’t listen to me anymore and step aside?” Hewitt asked Fauci.

Walls are Closing In: Fauci Says He is Finally Considering Retirement as Calls for Accountability Over His Handling of the Covid Pandemic Ramp Up

As calls for his head intensify over his handling of the pandemic, Dr. Tony Fauci said this week that he is seriously considering stepping down from the position that he’s held for nearly four decades.



In a podcast interview on ABC’s ‘Start Here’ that was released on Friday, the longtime National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director and current Chief Medical Advisor for the Biden Administration continued his usual fearmongering and ‘previewed‘ a new ‘potential covid surge’ in the US.



Inbetween the propaganda, Fauci, who’s 81 and was appointed to Director of the NIAID in 1984, was asked by the host if he had any thoughts about retiring or potentially shifting to a lesser role within government.



“I certainly am because I’ve got to do it sometime,” Fauci 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.” 

Fauci’s answer was quite different than the one he gave just a couple of months back. In November, he vowed that he would not leave his post until Covid is “in the rearview mirror,” while also laughably claiming that he, himself, is the embodiment of sCiEnCe.
