You were going to do that for us. Apparently, you tossed up a video instead. Just give us a checkable link where Clinton said the 2016 election was stolen. What do you have?
Well, that would be interesting. Show us that. Here's what Dr. Fauci said:
After Fauci says, “We're not sure, at this point, that the vaccine protects you against getting infected,” the edited Instagram clip plays a record scratch sound effect and a voiceover asks in disbelief, “We’re not sure? At this point? That the vaccine protects you against getting infected?”
As stated here on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, “We’re still learning how well COVID-19 vaccines keep people from spreading the disease.”
“Early data show that the vaccines may help keep people from spreading COVID-19, but we are learning more as more people get vaccinated,” the CDC website states.
In other words, there is a difference between getting infected with SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, and experiencing COVID-19 illness. The Cleveland Clinic explains here that “those who have been vaccinated may still be asymptomatic spreaders,” as the vaccines prevent illness, but “more research is needed to determine if the vaccines also prevent transmission.”
Fauci says that the vaccines are “very good, 94%, 95% in protecting you against clinically recognizable disease, and almost a 100% in protecting you for severe disease,”
A highly edited video shared on Instagram misrepresents comments made by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the United States’ top infectious disease expert, on why individuals with the COVID-19 vaccine should still wear masks in public until the country achieves herd immunity. Fauci explains that it is not yet...

Maybe you didn't know that the vaccine was designed to prevent severe illness or death, not to prevent infection. Notice that Fauci also says that the vaccine is 94 or 95 percent effective at preventing disease and almost 100% in preventing severe disease. It's pretty good at preventing infection, but not as good as it is in preventing disease or severe disease or death.
You were fooled about what Fauci said, just as you were fooled about what Hillary Clinton said. When someone tells you something you really, really want to be true, that's when you should be most skeptical.

Notice the COVID-19 death rate for fully vaccinated people is less than three per million vaccinated people. So that's a protection rate of 99.7%. Pretty close to 100% as Dr. Fauci pointed out.
I already established that Clinton repeatedly said that the election was stolen.
You didn't watch any of the videos, or even really read my post, you just turned around and kept denying.
but for the record, here is another video and transcript of Clinton saying the election was a fraud
Hillary Clinton is sticking with her conviction that the 2016 presidential election was not conducted legitimately, saying the details surrounding her loss are still unclear."There was a widespread understanding that this election [in 2016] was not on the level," Clinton said during an interview...

and it wasn't just Hillary: the entire Democratic Party basically said the election was a fraud, that Trump is illegitimate, that Russians subverted the electoral process. The formal position of the Democratic Party was that the election was "stolen"
and while Trump and some of his supporters claim the election was stolen from him, you don't see 99% of Republican lawmakers and officials saying the entire election was a fraud, foreign governments colluded to subvert the election, and that Biden is illegitimate
I don't know what brainwashed fantasy land you live in that the above is untrue, or that Democrats gracefully conceded the election, affirmed Trump's presidency, and never made claims of fraud or interference. There is a Mt. Everest-sized pile of evidence to the contrary.
Now onto Fauci (and no, I am not going to rehash the vaccine debate). You claim that Fauci never said the vaccine offered complete protection, and you link to a partisan website to support this. Let's make some observations:
1. Reuters writes that people on the Internet were making false claims about Fauci's statements, and it links to 3 sources as examples. All three of those links were taken down by Instagram --wow, I wonder why?
2. The transcript from CNN that Reuters does link to, is NOT the interview in which Fauci made the claim (convenient)
No, Fauci made the claim on CBS' "Face the Nation", where he said the following:
"“When you get vaccinated, you not only protect your own health and that of the family but also you contribute to the community health by preventing the spread of the virus throughout the community,” Fauci said. “In other words, you become a dead end to the virus. And when there are a lot of dead ends around, the virus is not going to go anywhere. And that’s when you get a point that you have a markedly diminished rate of infection in the community.”
Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to President Biden, said during a discussion on Sunday about the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) decision to drop mask recommendati…

This is scientifically untrue: the vaccines do NOT protect against infection 100% (or even close to that). In fact, Fauci himself co-wrote a paper that explicitly says that the COVID-19 vaccines do NOT "elicit long-term, protective immunity"
The graph you post about COVID-19 death rates and vaccination status is totally irrelevant to this discussion. I have said since the start that vaccines DO protect against serious disease and complications. That is not what we are talking about. It is whether or not vaccines protect against infection completely --they don't. And graphs which show infection rates over time vs. vaccination efforts are totally misleading and invalid, because they don't make a distinction between unvaccinated people contracting the virus and building natural immunity, vs. vaccinated people (who may also get the virus, like I did: twice). Even Fauci said in 2004 ""The most potent vaccination is getting infected yourself."
Rachel Maddow ran with this statement from Fauci and others about vaccine immunity and declared ""Now we know that
the vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person," Maddow said on her show the evening of March 29, 2021. "A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus, the virus does not infect them, the virus cannot then use that person to go anywhere else,"
again, this is flat-out-wrong. And don't tell me it isn't, because real science says otherwise.
to recap:
a) Clinton is on record saying the election was stolen
b) Fauci (and others) claimed the vaccines were entirely effective in stopping infection
