Anthony Fauci isn’t done yet. The 81 going on 82 year old lifetime bureaucrat is leaving Government Health, but there’s a few things that he wants to do before calling it a career, and everything seems to point to a massive payday in 2023.
In a new interview with Government Executive magazine, Fauci — in between the usual obnoxious morality signaling and endless bouts of total hypocrisy — made it clear that he was not retiring, but moving outside of the public sector, where he is not restricted by government ethics rules.
I spoke with Dr. Fauci yesterday about his upcoming departure from the federal government, COVID-19 & monkeypox responses and what is next for him.
Highlights from the interview are below. Full version coming soon on an episode of @GovExec‘s podcast https://t.co/t65iwrJaUp pic.twitter.com/x7Mmr2BBHh

“There are a few things that I would want to do outside of the realm of the federal government while I still have the energy and the motivation and the good health to do that,” Fauci said in the interview.
When Fauci announced his retirement a few weeks ago, The Dossier took notice of the peculiar language selected by the NIAID chief.
The relevant portion of his statement reads:
“I will be leaving these positions in December of this year to pursue the next chapter of my career.”
Now we know that this was very purposeful rhetoric. The nation’s highest paid federal official is taking his “talents” to the private sector.
