Fauci Stepping Down In December

In December, Anthony Fauci will step down as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and as chief medical adviser.

Fauci said in a statement that it has been an honor to lead the NIAID.

Fauci plans to continue to advance science and public health even though he no longer wants to head the agency.

Fauci said last month that he might step down from the NIAID in the next few years, but he had no immediate plans to retire.

The story is evolving.
