WASHINGTON -- Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious
disease expert, said Monday he plans to retire by the end of
President Joe Biden's term in January 2025.
Fauci, 81, was appointed director of the National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases in 1984, and has led research in
HIV/AIDS, respiratory infections, Ebola, Zika and the
coronavirus. He has advised seven presidents and is Biden's
chief medical adviser.
In an interview with Politico, Fauci said he hoped to "leave
behind an institution where I have picked the best people in the
country, if not the world, who will continue my vision.”
Asked Monday on CNN when he planned to retire, Fauci said he
does not have a specific retirement date in mind and hasn't
started the process. He said he expects to leave government
before the end of Biden’s current term, which ends in January
2025.
“By the time we get to the end of Biden’s first term, I will
very likely (retire),” Fauci said. He added: “it is extremely
unlikely — in fact, for sure — that I am not going to be here
beyond January 2025.”
Fauci, long a prominent figure of the government's response to
infectious disease, was thrust even more into the spotlight at
the height of the coronavirus pandemic under then-President
Donald Trump. As the pandemic response became politicized, with
Trump suggesting the pandemic would “fade away,” promoting
unproven treatment methods and vilifying scientists who
countered him, Fauci had to get security protection when he and
his family received death threats and harassment.
Fauci testified repeatedly to Congress about the virus, and he
and some Republicans, including Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky,
engaged in heated exchanges over the origins of the virus.
Fauci said Monday his decision to eventually leave his role was
unrelated to politics.
“It has nothing to do with pressures, nothing to do with all of
the other nonsense that you hear about, all the barbs, the
slings and the arrows. That has no influence on me,” he said.
