Fauci Is Caught Red-Handed

Time for the Good Doctor to take his medicine: Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has announced a criminal referral of Dr. Anthony Fauci to the Department of Justice over his apparent lying during congressional testimony in 2021.

Fauci insisted repeatedly that the National Institutes of Health had never funded any gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Paul contended at the time that the research done on viruses at WIV, which got US funding, matched the NIH’s own description of gain-of-function research.

Now a newly surfaced February 2020 email about a COVID task-force call between Fauci and his associates shows him not only using the term “gain-of-function” to describe the work at Wuhan, but highlighting serious misgivings about the virus being of natural origin.

So not only does it look like Fauci was at the very least obfuscating during the 2021 testimony; it shows he and other senior scientists also took the lab-leak origin theory seriously.

At least before launching a massive behind-the-scenes effort to suppress it, likely to hide their own possible complicity in funding work that might’ve unleashed COVID. To do that they bullied scientists dependent on the millions they controlled and whipped media into a frenzy over “disinformation.”

In fact, that same month a Post op-ed by Steven Mosher got smothered by Facebook and Twitter for suggesting the exact same thing Fauci & Co. admitted they were worried about. That view — that COVID came from a lab — is now increasingly the belief of the US federal government. And of every thinking person, especially after evidence appeared that the first three Patients Zero of COVID were WIV employees.

But we may never know for sure, in part thanks to Fauci & Co’s fight to prevent real inquiry within China at the outbreak’s start. That leaves the whole world more vulnerable.
