So Long, Fauci — Stepping Down Before Red Wave

The Spin
Republican narrative
It's about time that Fauci, the man who was wrong about everything related to COVID, is ending his reign. He harmed the country with his version of politicized science and is now running from the eventual Republican investigations that will expose his incompetence.
Democratic narrative
Fauci has dedicated many decades to public service, which included not just work on COVID, but also on Ebola, anthrax, HIV/AIDS, Zika, and West Nile virus. Despite being a victim of political entanglement during the pandemic, he was able to explain the science calmly and efficiently. His retirement will leave a hole among Biden's advisors as the country continues to cope with COVID.
