Operation Warp Speed leader says he may step down soon
Operation Warp Speed head Moncef Slaoui may step down from the government's coronavirus vaccine and treatment accelerator "by the end this year or early next year," he told POLITICO in an interview on Wednesday.
Slaoui since May has been atop an operation that has invested more than $10 billion into six vaccine candidates and multiple therapeutics, which has been widely viewed as one of the few success stories from the Trump administration's response to Covid-19.
Slaoui said the decision about his departure is unrelated to the presidential transition.
"I do not want my departure from the role to have anything to do with the new administration. I have more affinity for the new administration than the current one," said Slaoui, who's a registered Democrat. "This doesn't have to be black and white. I can continue to be available as needed."
