Fauci Says He Will Retire From Post By The End Of Biden’s Term

"Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s preeminent infectious-diseases expert, who has served as the face of the coronavirus pandemic response for more than two years, plans after more than 50 years in government to retire by the end of President Biden’s term, he confirmed Monday to The Washington Post.

“By the time we get to the end of the Biden administration term, I feel it would be time for me to step down from this position,” Fauci said.

Fauci’s decision to retire by 2025 was first reported by Politico. The 81-year-old official later suggested that his plans were not fully settled, telling the New York Times that he would “almost certainly” retire by 2025 and cautioning CNN not to view Monday’s news as his official retirement announcement."
