There are a lot of weird claims in this post. Firstly, Fauci has publicly admitted to lying to the public on multiple occasions. I'm not sure why his credibility is unimpeachable simply because he's a bureaucrat in public health. Trusting him over a YouTuber "regardless of their credentials" seems like a significant overstatement of trustworthiness.
Secondly, Rogan has never said COVID was fake or just the flu, and the reason people assert that COVID is fake is down to motivated reasoning, which is the same reason Fauci thinks he was justified in lying to the public.
Getting people to change their behaviour starts by not dismissing them or dehumanizing them, and trying to steelman their position so they and you fully understand why they want to dismiss COVID. When that's done, it's often clear where you can compromise. Sadly, that's not what we see going on.
