It's been a privilege & honor to serve as #NIH Director for over 12 years. However, I believe no person should hold this position for too long. So with deep gratitude to this great agency & the people who carry out its mission, I've decided to step down. nih.gov/news-events/ne…
@NIHDirector Let's guess. Will he go to Merck, Pfizer or Moderna?
@NIHDirector Thank you Dr Collins for all you have done for our nation & world. You have helped so many families during times of confusion & deep worry. As one of those families that you don’t even know about, thank you so much. May your next steps in this journey be all you hope them to be.
@NIHDirector What a funny way to spin this. People don’t “step down” because they think no person should hold their position for too long. More like resigning in disgrace in the midst of a scandal. Think and research people.
@NIHDirector Thank you so much for your service and steering the APTI program together with @SharonMilgram @PeterKilmarx
@NIHDirector Many thanks for your labors and your faithful witness
@NIHDirector On behalf of the @GalienFdn community, thank you for your #publichealth, life saving service to humanity.
@NIHDirector Thanks for blurring the lines between belief in a sky wizard and actual science.
@NIHDirector Thanks for all your efforts. You will be missed.
@NIHDirector Thank you for your leadership and all the support!
@NIHDirector You know you can still be prosecuted in retirement right?
