Not so fast! Dr Fauci, 81, backtracks on hints that he's thinking of retiring because 'we still have a way to go' before COVID pandemic finally ends

Dr Anthony Fauci has rowed back on hints that he will soon retire, with 81 year-old saying he thinks the COVID pandemic is still far from over.

Speaking a day after he'd said 'I can't stay in this job forever,' Fauci appeared determined to stay when asked on ABC's This Week if he really was thinking of quitting.

He answered: 'I'm not so sure, George,' the director of the National Health Institute told anchor George Stephonaupolous. 'I want to make sure we're really out of this before I really seriously consider doing anything different. We're still in this.'

'We have a way to go. I think we got clearly going in the right direction. I hope we stay that way,' he added.

On Saturday, the second Chief Medical Advisor to the President in U.S. history was questioned over whether the country was finally ready to turn the page from the end of the COVID pandemic and if he intended to get 'some rest' once that point in time arrives.

'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,' he said. 'I don't have any plans right now to go anywhere, but you never know. I can't stay at this job forever.'

Fauci has served as public health expert for more than 50 years and has advised every American president since Ronald Reagan, becoming the nation's top COVID expert while drawing criticism over the nation's handling of the pandemic.

The hints of retirement came as he warned that easing restrictions, the waning protection from vaccines and the rise of the BA.2 subvariant in the UK and around the world could bring on another wave of COVID infections to the U.S.

His retirement should be to a cell.

He has to hang on to hide what needs to be hidden.

If it’s retirement like replicants in Blade Runner, ok.

I don’t want for him to retire. I want to hear President Trump say, “You’re fired!”

“ His retirement should be to a cell.”

Actually, he should be tried in Nuremberg 2.0 for crimes against humanity and sent to the gallows directly after conviction.

Let me rephrase that: “I’m making loads of money. I’d be crazy to give up living large on the public trough.”

Looks like the DNC is getting ready to take out their Flash drive with Ukraine programming and reinsert the Covid programming.

I’m truly surprised that the evil little gnome is still alive after all the people he murdered and lives/businesses he destroyed with the bioweapon he helped china create.

How many entrenched boomers well past retirement age are sitting in cushy government jobs and refusing to retire, having never trained up or mentored potential replacements despite decades of opportunity. They came to DC when housing was still reasonably priced and government benefits were still exceedingly generous, and then stayed through all of the forty year boom inside that little protected sphere. Now with million dollar retirements and many with million dollar homes, they want to see if they can squeeze another year or two of importance out of the public because they still aren’t sure if they have soaked the taxpayer enough to live comfortably in retirement.
