I read elsewhere that Fauci is making over $400,000 per year.
First, you're making a statement without support. Provide the citation.
Here for one:

He made over $417,000 back in 2019.

Second, a significant fraction of programmers in the bay area pull down
that
much (counting RSUs, ESPP and options).

The average cardiologist makes $250k to $450k annually.

He isnt a cardiologist.

He has never actually seen a patient as a doctor, only as a
researcher.

That's not true. As a 3rd- and 4th-year med student, intern, and
resident in internal medicine, a total of about 7 years he saw patients.
For the last 5 of those years that's all he did is see patients.

He started in research at NIH right out of medical school.

Where did you get that? After med school "He completed an internship
and residency in internal medicine at the New York Hospital-Cornell
Medical Center (now Weill Cornell Medical Center)." Wikip.

They don't treat patients, they only study them.

Of course researchers do not see patients except as part of their
research. That's what some doctors do. Nothing he does now requires
more experience treating patients than he has. There are 10's of
thousands of doctors who treat patients, and the doctors tell the NIH,
CDC, and the NIAID what they learn about those patients.

I'll tell you a story. My brother's first week in medical school, at
dinner, he told my mother and me that the class was told that the
C-students would become the practicing doctors and the A- and B-students
would go into research. And Fauci was first in his class.

Get your facts straight.
