Fauci has been influencing people since the beginning, so if you're going to bring him up then perhaps it would be more informative to take into consideration all of his statements from the beginning. If one out of a thousand are wrong because the data was still coming in when he said it, then that is a very impressive record. Obviously, you wouldn't want to use Fauci as a whataboutism against Trump given that Trump has been brazenly deceptive about COVID from the very beginning to the very end. He literally sought to give people bad information because he thought it would be good for his personal, political interests.
