Fauci to retire by end of Biden’s present term

Fauci, who also served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for decades, said he does not currently have a specific retirement date in mind nor has he started the process of retiring….reports Asian Lite News

White House Chief Medical Advisor Dr Antony Fauci has said that he is planning to retire by the end of President Joe Biden’s present term, which will end in January 2025, CNN reported on Monday.

“I have said that for a long time,” Fauci said of his plans to leave government before the end of Biden’s current term.

“By the time we get to the end of Biden’s first term, I will very likely (retire),” Fauci said.

Fauci, who also served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for decades, said he does not currently have a specific retirement date in mind nor has he started the process of retiring.

According to CNN, the White House Chief Medical Advisor said that he feels like he has established a good system at NIAID to facilitate a smooth transition at the agency and wants to pursue other career opportunities once he eventually leaves.

“Everybody in a position of any influence in my institute, I handpick. So it’s something that I’ve been working on now for four decades. So, we have a good system in place,” he said.

“Obviously, you can’t go on forever. I do want to do other things in my career, even though I’m at a rather advanced age. I have the energy and the passion to continue to want to pursue other aspects of my professional career and I’m going to do that some time. I’m not exactly sure when, but I don’t see myself being in this job to the point where I can’t do anything else after that,” Fauci added.

CNN reported that at the age of 81, Fauci has served more than five decades under seven presidents, advising every American president since Ronald Reagan. (ANI)
