I mean we have other unelected experts leading the pandemic response (eg Fauci) so does he need to go?

Or is it just about the wealth?

Bill Gates is there because his foundation is responsible for helping to eradicate diseases and coordinate pandemic responses, so without his wealth he certainly has experience in this field.

Fauci was appointed by an elected representitive. Who appointed Bill Gates? He purchased his position of influence/

Nothing against the man. I'm distrustful generally in the richest people in the world wielding control that can make their friends even richer. I really doubt I'm alone.

Fauci was not appointed by an elected official. His position as head of NIAID is selected by the agency. This position makes him sought by Presidents. He was not put there by Presidents.
