He was honored by an awful lot of left leaning organizations headed by politically conscious leaders. Those people knew better, but chose to ignore the obvious incoherence of his policies wrt scientific data for political gain and/or to avoid political retribution.
But this diary is from Fauci's own hand. It is irrefutable evidence of multiple lies and unethical behavior. The reality of the harm that he caused and his dishonesty are going to be too big to ignore - even for them.
Because he was such a cult figure to the Left, I suspect that they are going to go silent and do a "slow withdraw" over time. Eventually they will do what Fauci himself did and deny their actions altogether.
It's what liberals do.
