You know, when this virus first came out, NOBODY knew much about it, how it was transmitted or how bad the infection could be. During that time, Fauci was willing to say the hopeful things that Trump wanted him to say, because nobody knew much, and they were basing guesses on what they had seen other viruses of the same family do.
Then, it got worse, doctors started to do serious research on it, and new information came out. We then found out it was much more dangerous than previously thought (partially because of faulty information from China), and they started to modify what they said about it.
Fauci is just keeping up with the science and what the doctors are saying as they get more information. Prior to just a couple of weeks ago, most people didn't know that one of the signs of this disease is that you lose your sense of smell and taste. Another sign that doctors have finally said is part of this virus is that red spots show up on your feet and hands, kinda looking like spider bites, but that is because it causes some blood vessels to burst.
And, yet more information has come out on this today. Another thing that doctors are noticing is that people with this virus can actually end up having strokes because of it.

Scientists are racing to figure out why some patients also develop neurological ailments like confusion, stroke, seizure, or loss of smell.www.wired.com
do u have a link to Fauci saying things that Trump wanted him to say, or are you just imagining that? My guess is imagination
No, it's not imagination. When this first came out, Fauci was downplaying it like Trump wanted him to. When the research started to show what was happening with the virus, Fauci modified what he was saying, and he said it was worse than they first thought. When Fauci started to say that and no longer downplay it, that is when Trump and his followers turned on him.
Back in Feb, Fauci was downplaying this and said that people could continue to go about their lives as usual. But, that was before it started to get bad. And, Fauci was saying that in support of Trump downplaying it. If you want the whole timeline, I've given a link, but it's a long read. Here is what he actually said.......................

February 29, 2020: Fauci says that Americans do not need to change their daily practices and the current risk is low, but could change.
On the Today Show, Dr. Fauci says, “There’s no need to change anything that you’re doing on a day by day basis. Right now the risk is still low, but this could change.”
Here’s the full exchange:
I appreciate the link, but I don’t see the relevance it has to your claim. I’m fully aware doctor Fauci changed his tune on COVID 19, but you’re jumping to a major conclusion that doesn’t bode well for Trump or dr. Fauci if you’re telling us Fauci was parroting what Trump wanted him to. These are serious accusations you’re leveling against both of them with no proof whatsoever. Now I do agree with you there have been some dumbasses on the right that have unleashed some politically motivated attacks on dr. Fauci that I think are shameful, but you’re also calling into question his integrity based on no evidence. You can’t expect the response to a global pandemic to be perfect. No one is denying we were late to the party. We meaning most of the experts and government. As a matter of fact everyone was late because the Chinese government was involved in a cover up job. I believe Fauci is a man of integrity who’s sole aim is to save lives. No matter what you think of Trump and his response to this crisis, and you’re free to speculate to your heart’s desire, there is zero evidence, meaning zilch that Trump put a muzzle on any expert or coerced them to say anything about COVID 19.
