He's a little busy at the moment.

Over the last year-plus of the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of Republicans and rightwing media figures, on the hunt for some sort of deflection away from Donald Trump’s total mismanagement of the crisis, have decided that Dr. Anthony Fauci is their best shot at a scapegoat.
The first is the “Fire Fauci Act,” which would “reduce Dr. Fauci’s salary to $0 until a new NIAID administrator is confirmed by the Senate,” even though that is not a position that currently requires Senate confirmation.
The second bill is called the “We Will Not Comply Act.” Among other things, it would prohibit businesses from “discriminating” against people based on their vaccination status or “mask compliance,” meaning customers could sue businesses for trying to make them wear masks.
