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.

Evey if your theory below of who a doctor is were correct, and it's not,
this statement would still be wrong, because he had seen patients as an
intern and a resident in internal medicine, not "only as a researcher".

His goal was not to do research but to diagnose and/or treat, mostly
unlike a researcher. He was not a researcher.

Your statement would also be incorrect because he saw patients for two
years as a medical student, not "only as a researcher. As a medical
student, his goal was not to do research but to diagnose and/or treat,
under the supervision of a licensed doctor. He was not 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.

Until he passes his boards, he is not a doctor. That is after intern
and resident.

More nonsense.

They are doctors a few days after they graduate medical school which is
when they are awarded a doctor of medicine degree. IIRC my brother's
graduation was 2 days after the end of med school because he had to be
at his internship by July 1.

They are *licensed* doctors after they finish their internship, apply to
be licensed, and have their application approved. They are almost always
approved. AIUI some don't bother then and wait until they finish their
residency. After their license application is approved, they are
licensed doctors.

After they take the exams in their specialty if they have one, and pass
them, they become doctors board-certified in a given specialty.
