Maybe he had surgery on his thyroid? Would that effect his voice et al?

[Ymani Cricket]

nope.

Some inconsistencies here too:

Dr. Anthony Fauci opens up about his vocal cord surgery: 'My voice was shot'

"TODAY's Sheinelle Jones took six weeks off from work to recover after her operation, but Dr. Fauci didn't give himself the same amount of time off."

there's also something called dysphonia...type of dystonia that affects the vocal cords..not completely cured but you can get botox shots every three months to lessen the symptoms...

at age 80, many things can be going on....
