With more than five decades of service in the government, Dr. Anthony Fauci announced he would leave the federal government in December. But, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) stepped in and promised that Dr. Fauci would still need to testify before Congress. Fauci is one of the nation’s leading infectious disease experts and the victim of partisan attacks during the pandemic. “I will be leaving these positions in December of this year to pursue the next chapter of my career,” said Fauci, who angered many Americans with his management of the coronavirus pandemic. Fauci stressed that he will “not retire,” vowing to use his expertise to “advance science and public health.”
“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,” Fauci claimed. “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.”
