Anthony Fauci — who is currently the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health of the United States and has held that position since 1984; chief of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Laboratory of Immunoregulation; and chief medical advisor to the president of the United States — will be leaving all of those positions in December of 2022 to pursue the next chapter of his career.
Anthony Fauci Stepping Down Effective December of 2022
“While I am moving on from my current positions, I am not retiring. After more than 50 years of government service, I plan to pursue the next phase of my career while I still have so much energy and passion for my field. I want to use what I have learned as 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”, according to this official statement from Anthony Fauci himself, which was released yesterday, Monday, August 22, 2022. “Thanks to the power of science and investments in research and innovation, the world has been able to fight deadly diseases and help save lives around the globe. I am proud to have been part of this important work and look forward to helping to continue to do so in the future.”
Over those past 38 years as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Fauci states that he “had the enormous privilege of serving under and advising seven Presidents of the United States, beginning with President Ronald Reagan, on newly emerging and re-emerging infectious disease threats including HIV/AIDS, West Nile virus, the anthrax attacks, pandemic influenza, various bird influenza threats, Ebola and Zika, among others, and, of course, most recently the COVID-19 pandemic. I am particularly proud to have served as the Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden since the very first day of his administration.”
At the time this article was written, Fauci had not yet released details of what he intends to do after stepping down from his official positions with the federal government of the United States — nor has he specified the reasons as to why he is stepping down — but he is not retiring.
Final Boarding Call
I lost a lot of trust and respect for Anthony Fauci, as I believe he mishandled — no, bungled — what should have been a reasonable, logical, and cohesive response to the current 2019 Novel Coronavirus pandemic.
For example, this article contains a video of Anthony Fauci admitting that he does not think that the time will ever come when people aboard airplanes will not be required to wear masks during an interview with Jonathan Karl of ABC News on Sunday, December 19, 2021…
…or what about when Fauci tarnished his credibility by accepting the invitation to throw the ceremonial first pitch by the Washington Nationals baseball team in July of 2020 and then watching the game in the empty stands next to two people with his face mask lowered, as was first mentioned in this editorial as to whether freedom of speech was in danger?
Yes the world has gone mad and people are so brainwashed and they are putting up with this nonsense, see picture below and see how much FAUCI believes in face coverings. Look at the inset picture! Evil is keeping people confused say NO MORE MASKS pic.twitter.com/CjHDkqEHm2

Should he have at least waited until the pandemic subsided before accepting that invitation? I thought so then and still believe so now, as that stunt sent the wrong message of a double standard to the very people he was supposed to help protect.
Those are only two of the numerous gaffes which discredited Anthony Fauci over the past 2.5 years, in my opinion, as travel was one of the industries which was most affected by the theoretical guidance of Anthony Fauci. I believe he is at least partly responsible for the substantial impact which the travel industry endured as a result of the pandemic.
Anyone who has been directing other people to “follow the science” should know that the first rule of science is to question it and not simply follow it blindly. I not only still stand behind the articles which I have written for approximately two years during the height of the pandemic; but now that we have some hindsight, I vehemently adhere to the ideas and principles about which I wrote more than ever.
For a complete list of those articles — which include links to them — please refer to this article which was published exactly one year after the pandemic was official declared by the World Health Organization; and this article — which was published exactly one year after that — discusses what we might have learned and not learned over those two years.
