The bulk viscosity of two-component fermions with a zero-range interaction is revisited both in two and three dimensions. We first point out that the ``standard'' Kubo formula employed in recent studies has flaws to give rise to an unphysical divergent bulk viscosity even in a limit where it is supposed to vanish. The corrected Kubo formula as well as the sum rule is, then, carefully rederived so as to confirm that the bulk viscosity, indeed, vanishes in the free, unitarity, and dimer limits. We also discuss that the recently found discrepancy between the Kubo formalism and the kinetic theory for the bulk viscosity is attributed to the fact that the quasiparticle approximation assumed by the latter breaks down even in the high-temperature limit.
