Top US infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci is hinting at retirement as cases of COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations remain low.

“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 told ABC’s “Start Here” podcast.

“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,

The 81-year-old Fauci’s remarks come as he’s under fire from conservative lawmakers who feel the pandemic restrictions he’s pushed have gone too far.

Sen.​ Rand ​​Paul (R-Ky.) ​has said he plans to push ​an ​amendment to ​remove Fauci as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases​ — saying no one should be “dictator in chief.”​​

Either that or he is 81 years old, and was going to retire before it was delayed by needing one last service to America. Biden is in office now, so his replacement should be reasonable.

On a phylogenetic tree the virus looks totally normal and the close clustering with bats suggest that bats serve as the reservoir,” Andersen wrote. “The unusual features of the virus make up a really small part of the genome (<0.1%) so one has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features (potentially) look engineered.”

Fauci came to a different conclusion, however, during a May 2020 interview with National Geographic magazine. "If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what's out there now, [the scientific evidence] is very, very strongly leaning toward this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated," he argued.

Even more than a year later and despite growing evidence the virus may have come from the lab, following a Wall Street Journal report indicating three lab workers got sick in November 2019 with symptoms consistent with COVID-19 — Fauci remained primarily steadfast in his belief the virus was not man-made while adding that he is keeping an open mind. “I have always said and will say today to you ... that I still believe the most likely origin is from an animal species to a human,” Fauci told CNN. “The idea, I think, is quite far-fetched that the Chinese deliberately engineered something so that they could kill themselves, as well as other people. I think that’s a bit far out.”
