Posts spreading information that “top US infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci has been replaced with a dummy, duplicated or even cloned” are false or untrue. There is no evidence to support this claim.

The text of one of the posts states: "This is the real Anthony Fauci in 2014. The image taken in 2021 is of his lookalike or clone. Study carefully the differences between the ears, nose, jawline, and crown of the head. The real Anthony Fauci is either in custody, in GITMO prison, or executed for Crimes Against Humanity."
The post goes on to explain how the military is using a similar look to "played the role of Anthony Fauci to show the public the reality of how corrupt this man was, creating viruses, serving special interest groups to poison, control, enslave the world and enrich himself."
The post shows two photos of Fauci, one labeled with the year "2014" and the other "2021."
Reuters has been unable to identify the two photographs used in the claims – they could be cropped and enlarged from wider photographs or extracted from a video (given the low-resolution format in both).

A close look at 2014 and 2021 shows that he has the same profile with the same nose and ear shape. The jawline has changed slightly, which could be due to aging.

Although he appears older in recent photos and videos, there is still no evidence to suggest he was replaced by a doppelganger or clone. His voice and physical appearance have been consistent over time.
