It's a good thing you haven't spent any time in Europe, you would be horrified over real lockdowns.
Haven't, and don't intend to. Those folks can self-immolate if they want; my ancestors crossed the Atlantic, it's not my problem. Central and South America offer wonderful travel opportunities, if I get bored.

Fauci and many other ‘experts’ have been very slow to assure the fearful folks not to worry about those sorts of safe activities. Peculiarly do.
No wonder his credibility, not to mention ten minutes of fame, is essentially over.

Looking back retrospectively is easy, real time not so much.
Not sure about your ‘stupid denial’, etc. There have been many folks from the start who have repeatedly pointed out those at the greatest risk of death from Covid. Remember Italy? It was old folks who caught it indoors from their families or at gatherings. And died. That is not denial.
There have been scientific folks who have continuously pointed out gloved grocery shopping, FedEx delivery box disinfecting, outdoor masking, closing kindergartens, banning beach-goers, fully vaccinated folks double-masking, etc. is ridiculous. That is not denial.
Fauci and others have been oddly slow in publicizing the science regarding what does NOT lead to Covid deaths.
The outdoor masking and the double-masked fully vaccinated are just the latest example.
Rumor has it the CDC will shortly announce/admit the fully vaccinated don’t need to mask outdoors. No kidding! (Again, outdoor masking has always been scientifically suspect - vaccinated or not).
I very much doubt he's worn out his welcome with most of the country.
I think most people find him completely admirable both for his long service throughout so many presidencies and his willingness to speak truth to power. I only regret that he's been honored so broadly that there may not be any honors left to bestow on him.
No they don’t. Most of us hate him, he’s a useless sack of garbage. Nothing he ever says is accurate, he’s completely clueless and idiotic on every topic. There’s nothing to admire about this glory hogging toolbag. He’s one of my most hated people even above many of the worst liberals.
So you get rid of Fauci the messenger (That is literally his role, he does not MAKE THE POLICY) and replace him with say Mr. Hardline the right-wing dream. It wont matter
The new guy will be just as hated within 2 weeks as Fauci is now because he is a spokesperson for an entire panel of physicians and scientists making the recommendations.
Fauci uses his medical knowledge to explain them to the public, which is why people think HE IS IN CONTROL, he is not.
Fauci is not the entire NIH
Fauci is not the CDC
Fauci is not the WHO
Fauci is not a State Governer
Fauci is not a Congressman
Fauci is not a Judge
And Neither will the NEW person you pick, that person will still push the same recommendations, it is literally why that person is being paid in THAT role.
In other words, Fauci is literally the Medical Sean Spicer , he is literally just reporting what recommendations were given by committes that make them.

The position itself is not needed. Its simply dangerous and irresponsible to let one (or several) have such influence over 330 million

Do you feel the same regarding the many talented scientists we have at universities around the US who echo his same recommendations.

Do you prefer an untrained politician?
Someone has to get up and say what the recommendations are to the public and you think a Politician or a President is a better option? You want the public to ask medical questions to a Politician.
Or better yet you want 0 explanation on why recommendations are made or who made them?
Sure, I believe you
