Fauci denies retirement rumors as long as COVID pandemic is in place

Dr has rowed back on hints that he will soon retire, with 81 year-old saying he thinks the COVID pandemic is still far from over.

Speaking a day after he'd said 'I can't stay in this job forever,' Fauci appeared determined to stay when asked on ABC's This Week if he really was thinking of quitting.

He answered: 'I'm not so sure, George,' the director of the National Health Institute told anchor George Stephonaupolous. 'I want to make sure we're really out of this before I really seriously consider doing anything different. We're still in this.'
