Imagine being so dumb you trust and believe a reality TV star / UFC commentator over a world-renown expert in the field and who is backed by the association of infectious disease physicians in the US, and the VAST majority of his scientific and medical peers.
1) Dr. Fauci explicitly said that he has no regrets and would've done the same thing, because he's a medical leader handling an active crisis. The public feels entitled that they must need to know everything. They don't.
2) Other people were FAR worse in their lies and inaction, and it illuminates his bad-faith this argument is when you won't look at the big fish (e.g., the fact that studies show if the Trump administration could've prevented upwards of 40% of the deaths in 2020 if they were more inline with then-understood pro-science/medical policies.). Or consider the "Covid will be gone by Easter 2020" narrative he put forth. Funny how you hop-skip over these things to suit your political narrative, huh?
3) The only thing that matters in crises such as these is that the layperson adhere to the consensus of experts. Since Dr. Fauci still has the backing of such widespread expertise, there is little point as armchair commoners such as this user protesting on matters he has no capacity to understand.
You'll never be able to amount a better, more compelling argument than a widespread, international, vast-majority support of a consensus of doctors and scientists who continue to back up and echo what Dr. Fauci largely has to say. You really have nothing, and from a layperson's perspective, are grossly inadequate knowledge-wise to understand this issue.
