Fauci, 81, serves as chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He said Monday that he will be leaving both positions after four decades of advising seven presidents.

"It has been the honor of a lifetime to have led the NIAID, an extraordinary institution, for so many years and through so many scientific and public health challenges. I am very proud of our many accomplishments," he said Monday in a statement.

    1. @ste That’s an oddly personal question. I’m not sure how that’s even related to a rat that told us to “follow the science”, then constantly changed the “science” to fit his agenda.

    2. @Em Em It’ related to your feelings on the govt but since you are not going to answer, I’ll give you the credit that you understand the point and its relevance. I’m still not sure why you are so obsessed with Dr. Fauci. What agenda are you referring to??

  1. Good. He’ll have plenty of time for all of the Congress hearings he’ll be called into. He’s due for a reckoning.

  2. New threat is centralized digital currency, write and call your reps, tell them no to monitoring your every financial move …. do not let them bring social credit to the US

    1. Because he didn’t commit any crimes and you people have not produced a single piece of evidence that he has?

  3. He wouldn’t even talk about the antibodies, even though it saved the lives of 2 people I personally know!!! Many more could have been saved if they knew about it

    1. The administration of antibodies, while lifesaving, had some problems that prevented them from being a good solution

      1. It required someone to have been infected, someone needed to have been infected and survived

      2. Said person would need to consent and actively volunteer to donating the antibodies and blood, a lot of people get really queezy about that

      3. The antibodies had to be fresh, they were hard to transport effectively because they would die along the way

      4. The hardest to control part, the antibodies would need to be accepted, the same way an organ donation often goes wrong the immune system would have to not see the antibodies as an invader

      5. Low effectiveness, all of there’s factors together made antibodies ineffective at saving lives, thus it was never mentioned more than a few times, it’s great that people you know were fortunate enough to get this treatment, however it could never be mainstream enough to help and thus more funds were dedicated to developing a vaccine

  4. False Faucci needs to find several 5.56s. He’s long overdue. He has been searching everywhere. Please someone help him find them. He deserves to have them.

    1. @Apollo I gave some to my dog for cancer, and it worked…. Fenbenzadole and supplements as suggested by Joe Tippens.

  5. What are we all going to do now that “The Science” is retiring? Is Bill Ney the Science Guy available to fill Faucenstein’s shoes?

  6. It doesn’t seem like a coincidence that he plans on retiring directly after the midterm elections!!

  7. Well, he’s worked hard. He deserves a rest. The effort it takes to put a few hundred million into your pocket, it takes a lot. I wish him well. And by well, I mean hell.
