“I will be leaving these positions in December of this year to pursue the next chapter of my career,” said Fauci, who insists that he’s not actually 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,” he said.
Fauci originally suggested he’d serve through Biden’s term, meaning he’ll actually leave two years earlier than previously expected.
