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
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.
