perhaps if he had quit in March 2020 when Trump's reptilian sycophants had tried censoring mortality rates, people would have known the truth. But then again, would anyone who is actually against totalitarianism ever be promoted to that position? People who have morals wouldn't even get hired

Idk why he's hated here but i can tell you why I hate him.
Lied about masking working at the very beginning, losing whatever credibility he had, which undercut all future efforts
Refused to stand up to trump, thus lending his legitimacy to them
Has always pushed a vaccine as a solution, ie the solution that threatens capital the least and gives them the profits
I wasn't alive yet but wasn't he in charge of the disastrous AIDS response?
There are plenty more I can't think of, so everyone please feel free to add on
He was responsible for issues in the AIDs response but then he listened to activists and was responsible for lots of AIDs research

Even granting that Trump may have picked worse, okay fine.
But he should not have accepted a position in the Biden admin and cited his own failure with the initial response. He doesnt need to be there, America is a country full of talented epidemiologists that can do just as good a job and in my opinion much fucking better than this ghoul.

Fauci like Canadian researchers ignored all the evidence from Asia that masks helped prevent spread covid. Plain and simple.
Doctors in Canada were spreading this lack of research about masks with such certainty to the point that it was obnoxious. Friends of mine in HK were mystified as to why we weren't being told to wear masks.
A top Chinese scientists warned the west that not wearing masks was a big mistake: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/03/not-wearing-masks-protect-against-coronavirus-big-mistake-top-chinese-scientist-says

Reagan asshole. Did the whole "masks aren't needed" thing at the start. Proceeded to not quit to keep the media narrative credible for people less versed in science, but stayed on for his own ambitions masked in "oh i need to do this" so there was an easy flip-flop type narrative for people less versed in science to distrust all further info.
He was appointed by Reagon to be director of NIH, but he joined the NIH as a physician in the 60s. Idk if this position is a political appointment
I think most of it is a reaction to libs treating this guy like some legendary hero, when really he was just a stooge that stood in the background of press conferences while Trump lied and downplayed the virus. That sort of lends Fauchi's legitimacy to Trumps lies by not objecting to them.
Not that Trump wouldn't have just got someone else to do that if Fauchi quit.
