To be fair, not everything was known when this started, still isn't.
Fauci started out saying it was a miniscule risk, nothing to worry about. Then he overcompensated when it got more serious and they started to believe those catastrophically wrong models. Now, with these new lower numbers, he's seeing it's not quite so bad, death rate is much lower, and that waiting for a vaccine to ease lockdowns will crush the whole country.
It's probably time for him to retire, there are younger and smarter epidemiologists out there who are more up to date on viruses and pandemics. With hindsight, the whole lockdown the country was probably a bad idea, a less destructive plan would have told seniors to lockdown and isolate, provide PPE gear to all nursing home personnel, and remove covid 19 positives from nursing homes immediately. Let the rest of the country keep working with some precautions.
