I mean, he basically blames his abdication of the principles of public health on "how science is supposed to work", which is an outright lie. Precautionary principle dictates behavior that he signed on to abandoning and continues to justify refusing to enact. Also, he still refuses to recognize the larger failure, namely trying to spread the disease to the vulnerable in the hopes of a manageable die-off and quick return to normal (10k cases a day in his estimation), the one that's given all his readers a high risk of long term effects, because that's still not very well known. He only admits to the failures that people already recognize, which is defensiveness, not accountability.

Can you provide anything we can read about the die off and return to normal you mention?
I think she's talking about how Fauci pushed the "herd immunity" narrative e.g.:

oh yeah, thank you! Its been a while since i thought about it, our comrades phrasing really recontextualizes it for me
I don't blame you for forgetting - all this stuff is such a surreal blur sometimes lol
