I agree to a point. Fauci is dangerous and the MSM will use him as the poster boy for Trump not listening to the experts.
I think we have to look at another angle to triangulate the exact position, currently. That would be the effect of social media in ferreting out Fauci's ties to TPTB. In that regard, I think Fauci's too far out over his skis. If social media can pin him and Gates with a scheme to enrich themselves via a vaccine it's gonna' get ugly.
I think you have to look at Dr. Shiva Ayyadurrai and Dr. Steve Pieczenik, as well. Both are studied and eloquent Fauci detractors, who, in my opinion, Trump would not dismiss out of hand. I think he would want more info backchannel.
