During an interview with ABC podcast “Start Here,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, hinted at plans to retire in the future if COVID-19 hospitalizations and cases remain low.
“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 told host Brad Mielke. “If we can stay in this, then we’re at a point where I feel that we are done with this, but I don’t have any plans right now to go away, but you never know.”
When asked if retirement or stepping back were options he was considering, Fauci replied, “I certainly have, because I have to do it sometime. I can’t stay at this job forever unless my staff find me slumped over at my desk one day. I’d rather not do that.”
According to The Washington Examiner, “At 81 years old, Fauci has served as a public health expert in various capacities for more than 50 years and has advised every president since Ronald Reagan. He currently holds the post of chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden and has been a public fixture since the pandemic began more than two years ago.”
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Fauci has been particularly controversial due to his inconsistent recommendations and apparent political motivations. For example, last summer Fauci lashed out at Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) during a congressional hearing after Paul cited previous statements made by Fauci in front of Congress about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic that turned out to be false.
In February 2020, Fauci – who has publicly recommended masks and mask mandates – privately told one of his close associates that he did not recommend wearing a face mask. In a March 8 interview on “60 Minutes,” Fauci made similar comments. He insisted that “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask,” adding that “it could lead to a shortage of masks for the people who really need it.”
go Rand get that little worm!
Fauci is leaving and should have left long ago. Has he made enough money yet? Has he killed enough people with shots and remdeziever. He is going to go to court and what difference will it make? None the death penalty or life in prison will make no difference at his age.
“Don’t let the door hit ya’ in the ass on the way out, pal.”
Just ONE MORE lying, liberal elitist to see shuffle off into the sunset with his substantially ill gotten millions. Unfortunately, we now have a world where there’s a multitude of unscrupulous scumbags right there to step in when he leaves.
The election was stolen. That’s where I want to start. We have proof a pedophile is hunter biden and he is not in jail! We need our truly elected president back!
“I can’t stay at this job forever”-Please don’t.
