Democratic narrative
Fauci, a top public servant for years, will continue his merit-filled scientific, clinical, and public health career at Georgetown. His insight and expertise likely saved an untold number of lives during the COVID pandemic, even while Republicans pedantically attacked him.
Republican narrative
Throughout COVID, Fauci made several serious blunders, including exaggerating the effectiveness of vaccines to boost uptake and flip-flopping on face masks, and his role in COVID origins is being deeply scrutinized. He is just another bureaucratic official who has reaped the benefits of his public profile, pocketing sky-high speaker fees due to his pandemic-era fame.
