Yeah, I wonder if it was more than zero.
There were a number of them over the time period in question. None of them was Fauci, though. He was busy directing the NIAID.
You've provided a lot of sources. Which one was that?

What you really meant was: "There's also the fact that NIAID, while headed by Fauci, provided funds for testing AIDS drugs on foster children, who would have died from AIDS if they hadn't gotten into a study."

What you really meant was: "There's also the fact that NIAID, while headed by Fauci, provided funds for testing AIDS drugs on foster children, who would have died from AIDS if they hadn't gotten into a study."P1) If , then I win.

An old video circulating on social media shows Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, warning that even just “close contact” with those already afflicted with AIDS could result in infection.
In the context of a conversation about childhood infections, Fauci speculates that “if the close contact of a child is a household contact, perhaps there will be a certain number of cases of individuals who are just living with and in close contact with someone with AIDS, or at risk of AIDS, who does not necessarily have to have intimate sexual contact or share a needle, but just the ordinary close contact that one sees in normal interpersonal relations.”

In fact, medical experience would hinder fact-checking, much like lawyers make poor jurors and doctors poor patients.
