” But I don’t think Dr. Fauci can take any credit for the Pfizer vaccine”
Unless I’m missing something, neither Fauci or any of the other NIH or FDA scientists ever took any credit for the Pfizer (or Moderna)_vaccine. Actually, Fauci has frequently praised the Pfizer researchers who were the ones who made it possible. The new platform used in the development of the Moderna vaccine actually does have some significant input over a decade from government scientists although again, the vaccine itself was entirely the product of Moderna.
