"he's admitted mistakes, and has not lost the trust of most Americans"
Has he? Which mistakes? I've never seen him admit any of the actual big mistakes like:
- Lockdowns didn't work (now the position of the German government's official enquiry).
- Masks don't work either.
- Deliberately lying about scientific topics to try and manipulate behaviour wasn't a good idea (he's admitted doing this to the New York Times, twice!)
- The vaccines were massively oversold.
Even Bill Gates has admitted the latter, but I don't recall Fauci ever doing so.
As for not having lost the trust of most Americans, maybe so, but that's just a testament to the shocking level of propaganda he benefits from. He's certainly lost the trust of anyone paying attention. The man is a self-confessed serial liar: he lied about masks, and he lied about herd immunity thresholds, both times making scientific claims about supposedly medical facts and then later changing his position, saying he was just trying to manipulate people's behavior. This is all on the record. Anyone who continues to believe this man about anything is certainly an idiot - fool me twice, right?
It sounds like you've already made up your mind on most of these things, and don't want to be convinced. For example, the U.S. never had an actually-enforced nationwide lockdown, and many conservative politicians and their supporters actively worked to make such a plan fail before it could even happen.
