Syndicated with permission via Valiant News| Jack Hadfield| Anthony Fauci will step down from his positions as the Director of the NIAID and Biden’s Chief Medical Advisor in December, just before a potential Republican Congress could investigate him.
In a statement posted on the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease’s website, Fauci said he would be leaving the positions, along with his role as Chief of the NIAID Laboratory of Immunoregulation, in order to “pursue the next chapter” of his career.
Fauci, who has worked for the government since 1968, was responsible for tackling epidemics, such as the HIV/AIDS crisis among mostly homosexual men in the 1980s.
He announced that would be planning to use his experience as the NIAID Director “to continue to advance science and public health and to inspire and mentor the next generation of scientific leaders as they help prepare the world to face future infectious disease threats,” adding that over the coming months he would help prepare a “leadership transition.”
Thanking “the power of science,” he confirmed that he would continue the fight against “deadly diseases” around the globe.
Unsurprisingly, conservatives celebrated his announced resignation, with congressional candidate and current Florida State Representative Anthony Sabatini adding that he should “spend the rest of his life rotting away in a Federal Prison.”
The legacy of Dr. Fauci will forever be a grandparent dying alone in a hospital room while he does another photoshoot for a magazine cover.

“They’re going to try and come after me, anyway. I mean, probably less so if I’m not in the job,” he told Politico in July, but insisted that he wouldn’t be a “consideration” in his career decision.
Speaking to CNN on Monday, Dr Jonathan Reiner commented that the “concept of [testifying in…
