Fauci met with Wuhan gain-of-function scientist in '17, admits lab leak not a conspiracy

Dr. Anthony Fauci completed the second day of his closed-door grilling with members of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, in which he reportedly admitted that the six-foot social distancing rule that emerged at the start of the coronavirus pandemic was actually based on nothing. The committee, led by chairman Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), provided a brief recap of Tuesday’s session. Monday and Tuesday’s sessions totaled 14 hours, according to lawmakers. In Tuesday’s session, Fauci admitted that the six-foot social distancing recommendation “was likely not based on any data,” according to the committee.

Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed to not recall details surrounding “pertinent COVID-19 information or conversations” more than 100 times during his Monday testimony before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.

New data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show COVID-19 cases are again rising in some parts of the country. The CDC’s map indicates that several states are experiencing a “substantial increase” in cases (more than 20%), including Texas , New Mexico, Kansas, and Nebraska, which saw a 57.3% spike from the previous week. The local surges in COVID are a reminder that although the pandemic is over for many of us mentally, the virus continues to take its toll. Throughout September and October, more than a hundred Americans died every day from COVID on average, according to...

Former White House chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that there were “a number of studies that show that masks actually do work” to stop the spread of COVID-19. Anchor Jon Karl said, “There’s a new study out that suggests that masks were actually not effective, at least not in a global sense, in containing the pandemic. What is your sense looking back at all of this? Did masks prove to be less effective than you anticipated?”

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and former Chief Medical Advisor to the President Dr. Anthony Fauci have clashed repeatedly in the Senate in the past over whether the U.S. funded virus “gain-of-function” research, a charge Fauci adamantly denied. It was clear the two men didn’t like each other, but now Paul is ratcheting it up to another level—he’s officially filing a criminal referral with the Department of Justice alleging that the good doctor flat-out lied to him in sworn testimony.This directly contradicts everything he said in committee hearing to me, denying absolutely that they funded any gain of function, and it’s...

Dr Anthony Fauci said data, evidence frequently changed as pandemic ragedDr. Anthony Fauci struck a defensive tone during a recent interview in which he reflected on his and the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, admitting that mistakes were made despite his best efforts.

I never did," Fauci said when asked about the consequences of "heavy-handed" public health policies in a New York Times interview published Tuesday. "I gave a public health recommendation that echoed the CDC’s recommendation, and people made a...

The last nine days on Twitter have been SUUUUUPER revealing, with multiple drops we’re all calling the #TwitterFiles. It’s pretty dramatic BUT to be fair, this has all felt like a really bad dystopian sci-fi movie that we all unknowingly starred in. Between learning they did indeed suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story, to the suppression of Right-wing accounts, to the actual removal of Trump himself from the platform … it has been eye-opening, to say the least. Most of us though, really want to know what Twitter did with COVID and specifically, with Dr. Fauci. So seeing Elon Musk...

The claim is now everywhere: We had to lock down because we just didn’t know about this virus. It was all very confusing and we had to play it safe. We had no other option because we just had no clarity about what we were dealing with. The precautionary principle dictated the unprecedented actions. Actually, the precautionary principle goes both directions.It also dictates that we not enact policies that we know for sure would wreck lives and liberties. They did it anyway, without sufficient knowledge that the measures would achieve any positive good. We approach the third year and people...
