I am announcing today that I will be stepping down from the positions of Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and Chief of the NIAID Laboratory of Immunoregulation, as well as the position of Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden. I will be leaving these positions in December of this year 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. 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.
Over the past 38 years as NIAID Director, I have had the enormous privilege of serving under and advising seven Presidents of the United States, beginning with President Ronald Reagan, on newly emerging and re-emerging infectious disease threats including HIV/AIDS, West Nile virus, the anthrax attacks, pandemic influenza, various bird influenza threats, Ebola and Zika, among others, and, of course, most recently the COVID-19 pandemic. I am particularly proud to have served as the Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden since the very first day of his administration.
While I am moving on from my current positions, I am not 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. 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.
Over the coming months, I will continue to put my full effort, passion and commitment into my current responsibilities, as well as help prepare the Institute for a leadership transition. NIH is served by some of the most talented scientists in the world, and I have no doubt that I am leaving this work in very capable hands.
Thanks to the power of science and investments in research and innovation, the world has been able to fight deadly diseases and help save lives around the globe. I am proud to have been part of this important work and look forward to helping to continue to do so in the future.
Out before being fired and likely out in a manner to avoid accountability for his actions.
He is 81 years old. I guess work has been his life.
The only time “step down” and “Fauci” should be in the same sentence is when the Nuremberg 2.0 judge tells him to step down from the witness chair.
Yes, the mid-terms... McConnell is already trying to surrender the Senate again to the Democrats.
He’s got a great future in baseball.
Don’t worry, Deep State has someone lined up to replace him…
May his soul enjoy hades and all hades has to offer …..
That was my first thought upon reading that headline. But I am sure that he has already a well planned secret escape in place. There are are lots of Ds that will cover for his disappearance.
“Kary Mullis on Fauci”
He's 81 years old. Most people's "next chapter" of their career at his age is going to an old folks home.
GTFO now and good riddance to the sicko midget.
He didn’t ‘sink’ Trump - what are you talking about?
If the Pubbies don’t get him, GOD Will!! He is a MASS MURDERER with his GAIN OF FUNCTION!!!
Thank you, Jesus.
He should be prosecuted now.
He’ll be back once they ‘accidentally’ release the next pandemic from the lab. Spanish Flu 2023?
In Old Testament Israel, the High Priest would yearly confess the sins of the nation onto a goat, a scapegoat, and release it into the wilderness, bearing the nation’s sins away. That is Fauc’s role. He might oughta be worried; the High Priest also used a sacrificial goat in the ceremony.
I hate to be the turd in the punch bowl but I just don’t see much happening to that little weasel other than getting berated in front of a house committee.
Is Fauci’s wife retiring, too?
The next chapter in his life should be jail.
