On Monday, Dr. Anthony Fauci announced his intention to resign from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which he has led since 1984, in December.
“I will be leaving these positions in December of this year to pursue the next chapter of my career,” said Fauci, who insists that he’s not actually retiring. “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,” he said.
Fauci originally suggested he’d serve through Biden’s term, meaning he’ll actually leave two years earlier than previously expected. Despite telling the Washington Post that he wanted to enjoy retirement while he was still healthy and energetic, Fauci’s decision to retire in December is more likely due to the fact that Republicans are poised to regain control of the House in the upcoming midterm elections, and launch a slew of investigations into Fauci’s actions as NIAID director—particularly in regard to the nation’s COVID-19 response.
“They’re going to try and come after me, anyway,” he said of Republicans. “I mean, probably less so if I’m not in the job,” he admitted to Politico.
Well, Fauci shouldn’t count on Republicans taking it easy on him just because he’s retired.
“Fauci’s resignation will not prevent a full-throated investigation into the origins of the pandemic,” Sen. Rand Paul tweeted Monday. “He will be asked to testify under oath regarding any discussions he participated in concerning the lab leak.”
Over the past year and a half, we’ve learned that Fauci lied about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan or that he had been told COVID-19 was potentially engineered but insisted for over a year that it came from nature.

Sadly history shows us otherwise. Too many politically motivated government officials do their damage, then retire with no accountability. Show me the last time one lost their pension, was convicted, and went to jail.
What about the allegations about his alleged involvement with funding gain of function bioweapon research in Red China?
RE: What about the allegations about his alleged involvement with funding gain of function bioweapon research in Red China?
That’s part of the investigation.
Robert Barnes, on his podcast, had a different view, saying Dr. Fallacy will get away with it and have a peaceful retirement with his CDC and patent money.
This is good. The next chapter will have something to do with making license plates on government time.
Faunocchio’s reply———”Lets talk about Jan.6 senator!”. There’s a real gotcha huh?
biden will pardon fauci and all will be right with the world.
But the Democrats, RINOs and administrative state will. Or at least, will try.
Lol! Yeah, okay, because Republicans have been so successful in bringing criminals who serve as government officials, to justice.
no- but the rinos will protect him
Because you’re already protected!
Don’t forget his multi-million dollar book deal to lie about Trump.
Rand Paul and the entire Republican party will do NOTHING. Why? Because they allowed it to begin with. We need a new MAGA party. To HELL WITH THE USELESS GOP.
why the rinos ‘almost got hillary’- mountains of evidence, but the left and the uniparty somehow got to do their own ‘investigation’ of her, and by golly they found “Sure, she done did wrong, but gosh, she didn’t ‘intend to’, therefore she is innocent”
and by ‘almost got her’ i am of course being sarcastic- i shoulda put that in the post-
Looks like there might be some correlation between CDC's announcement that they ............up royally.
And remember.....it was Fauci who was calling for all the "mandates" for vaccines, masking, shut downs...all the rules for you and me....And by what authority? He actually had none.
run but you cant hide
you will not enjoy your retirement
oh what are we talking about?
they couldnt even get lois lerner fired
The Democrats will most likely play the “he’s-an-old-man-leave-him-alone” card.
