As The Washington Post reports:
Anthony S. Fauci, the nation's preeminent infectious-disease expert who achieved unprecedented fame while enduring withering political attacks as the face of the coronavirus pandemic response under two presidents, plans to step down in December after more than a half-century of public service, he announced Monday.
Fauci, 81, has led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984. He joined the parent agency, the National Institutes of Health, in 1968 as a 27-year-old doctor who had just finished medical residency and was quickly identified as a rising star. Most recently, Fauci has also served as President Biden's chief medical adviser since the start of his administration.
Fauci's tenure as director of the infectious-diseases institute made him an adviser to seven presidents and put him on the front lines of every modern-day scourge, including AIDS, the 2001 anthrax scares, Ebola, Zika and the coronavirus pandemic. During the nearly four decades Fauci led the agency, it grew from a little-known institute with a $350 million annual budget to a globally recognized powerhouse with a budget exceeding $6 billion.
“Because of Dr. Fauci's many contributions to public health, lives here in the United States and around the world have been saved,” said Biden, who as vice president worked with Fauci on the nation's response to Ebola and Zika during the Obama administration. “Whether you've met him personally or not, he has touched all Americans' lives with his work.”
If Republicans win control of one or both chambers of Congress this November, they've already said they'll use their subpoena power to investigative the famous doctor.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) would chair the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee if the GOP wrests away control of the Senate. “We'll go after every one of [Fauci's] records,” Paul declared last month.

He should have stepped down decades ago. What a pompous ignorant criminal egotist.
he is simply protecting his federal pension and benefits. he wont go far away he can consult.
Wow! Maybe he can convince others to follow his lead. Too many dinosaurs in positions of power.
He should be in the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus if only it still existed. He’s a clown but a malicious and egomaniacal clown.
A malicious, egotistical clown worthy of a Steven King novel indeed!
some similarities to the movie The Stand is a post-apocalyptic dark fantasy novel written by American author Stephen King and first published in 1978 by Doubleday. The plot centers on a pandemic of a weaponized strain of influenza that kills almost the entire world population. The few survivors, united in groups, establish a new social system and engage in confrontation with each other.
Amen to that!
With any luck, he’ll be indicted and in prison by early march 2023
Well, Fauci is retiring. That is good. Now, what is not good, is to have the Biden administration appoint a new person to the position when, as we know, everyone he had appointed had proven to be totally incompetent and unqualified to represent our country.
An incompetent appointing other incompetents.
THIS PIG SHOULD BE FIRED NOT ALLOWED TO RETIRE FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANS AND ANIMALS
Glad jerk is leaving! Another corrupt individual!!!
Consider all the harm that has been done and continues to be done as a result of his stupid proclamations. He is a disgusting excuse for a human being.
