Dr. Anthony Fauci said in a new interview that he is considering
stepping away from the position he’d held since 1984.

Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases (NIAID), was asked during a podcast released March
18 whether he was mulling retirement or transitioning to a
less-demanding job.

    “I certainly am because I’ve got to do it sometime,” Fauci, 81, said.

    “I can’t stay at this job forever, unless my staff is going to
find me slumped over my desk one day. I’d rather not do that,” he
added.

Fauci was appointed to his position in 1984 during the Reagan administration.

Fauci’s comments came after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) failed in his
effort to get support for a measure that would eliminate the NIAID and
create three new institutes in its stead.

Paul, who has clashed with Fauci during multiple congressional
hearings, said Fauci has become has become a “dictator-in-chief.”

    “No one person should have unilateral authority to make decisions
for millions of Americans,” Paul, a doctor, said.

Fauci and his agency had not responded to requests for comment on the measure.

Paul and other Fauci critics have taken issue with how the doctor
misled the public on his agency’s funding for the Chinese lab located
near the first cases of COVID-19 were recorded, his support for harsh
measures during the pandemic, and his admission that he lied about the
effectiveness of masks because of worries there wouldn’t be enough for
health care workers.

Fauci, who has also been preparing for investigations Republicans have
pledged into the COVID-19 response, has called Paul a partisan whose
accusations aren’t rooted in facts.

Without mentioning Paul, the podcast host asked Fauci in the new
interview whether he would leave his post soon, noting that besides
Dr. Francis Collins, who exited from his position as director of the
National Institutes of Health in late 2021, Jeffrey Zients was
stepping down as the White House COVID-19 response coordinator.

    “I have said that I would stay in what I’m doing until we get out
of the pandemic phase, and I think we might be there already,” Fauci
said.

    “If we can stay in this, then we’re at a point where I feel that
we’ve done well by this. But I don’t have any plans right now to go
anywhere, but you never know.”

The doctor also said he doesn’t have many interests outside of health.

“I unfortunately am somewhat of a unidimensional
physician-scientist-public health person. When I do decide I’m going
to step down—whenever that is—I’m going to have to figure out what I’m
going to do,” he said. “I’d love to spend more time with my wife and
family. That would be nice.”
