Armed with that knowledge, he told Politico that comments suggesting he\u2019ll only leave office when COVID ceases to exist are wrong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in a pattern now. If somebody says, \u2018You\u2019ll leave when we don\u2019t have Covid anymore,\u2019 then I will be 105. I think we\u2019re going to be living with this,\u201d Fauci, pressed on whether he remains in his position because he feels obligated, told Politico.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/07\/15\/anthony-fauci-covid-coronavirus-mask-mandate-omicron-variant\/\">Fauci<\/a> has previously <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/26\/anthony-fauci-step-down-niaid-covid-19-coronavirus\/\">hinted<\/a> at stepping down, but only offered up a loose timeline at the time. He told CNN political correspondent Kasie Hunt in April that while he doesn\u2019t want to leave until the U.S. is on a recovery track from COVID, that day may be drawing near.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that\u2019s coming soon,\u201d he told Hunt. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/06\/29\/anthony-fauci-covid-coronavirus-trump-retirement-washington-post\/\">(RELATED:\u00a0Fauci Says He Doesn\u2019t Regret Missing His Kids\u2019 Childhoods Because His Work Is So Important)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7476597\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7476597\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7476597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2020-07-31T142530Z_1169866916_RC2E4I916HR2_RTRMADP_3_HEALTH-CORONAVIRUS-USA-FAUCI-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, arrives to testify before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis hearing in Washington, D.C., U.S., July 31, 2020.
