Fauci’s Lies Are Catching up with Him

Dr. Anthony Fauci misled Congress regarding gain-of-function research funding at the Wuhan Institute of Virology during his testimony in 2021 and other public statements. It reflects on a significant debate between Fauci and Senator Rand Paul, accusations made regarding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, and subsequent revelations from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

• Senate Testimony Conflict: In July 2021, Fauci testified to Senator Rand Paul that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) had never funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, which Paul contested. Fauci characterized Paul's assertions as false.

• Claims of Misinformation: The article argues that Fauci’s repeated insistence that the NIH did not provide funding for such research is inconsistent with documents and findings from US Right to Know, which allege that Fauci and NIH were aware of gain-of-function experiments.

• Background on Research: Correspondence shows that scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology met with NIH officials in 2017 and conducted research that might be related to the origins of COVID-19.

• Fauci’s Testimony and Accountability: Fauci's handling of congressional inquiries is compared to individuals, like Steve Bannon, facing legal consequences for not cooperating with Congress. The author raises questions about what accountability should exist for Fauci, given his alleged false statements.

• Emerging Evidence: FOIA requests have revealed that Fauci was notified as early as January 2020 about NIH funding for high-stakes coronavirus research involving potential gain-of-function. Despite these notifications, Fauci subsequently denied any involvement.

• Upcoming Testimony: Fauci is expected to testify before Congress in January 2024 about the pandemic’s origin and his role in research funding. The article emphasizes the importance of honesty during this testimony and the need for public trust in health leadership.

• Research and Biosecurity Concerns: The piece raises concerns about the safety and regulations surrounding virology research and the implications of outsourcing sensitive research to foreign entities, particularly regarding the pandemic and the handling of high-risk research.

The article suggests that serious questions remain about Dr. Fauci's honesty and the NIH's role in funding research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. As the upcoming congressional testimony approaches, the author implies a need for transparency and accountability concerning past actions that may have had significant global health implications. The controversies surrounding Fauci, the NIH, and gain-of-function research persist as key points of discussion as the U. S. government seeks to understand the origins of COVID-19 and to ensure proper oversight in scientific research.
