...Fauci had been denying financial support for the Wuhan lab, but now that it’s apparent, he says it would have been almost a “dereliction of duty” not to do it. And there’s nothing “our colleagues,” those “respectable Chinese scientists” in a genocidal Communist dictatorship wouldn’t do for America.
Fauci still denies that the money was for “gain of function” research, which according to the Office of Science Policy at the National Institutes of Health, can “enhance the pathogenicity or transmissibility of potential pandemic pathogens (PPPs)” and raise “biosafety and biosecurity concerns.”
Back in 2012, Fauci raised safety concerns about gain-of-function research, which the NIH banned in 2014 but revived in 2017. The NIAID boss authorized grants to the Wuhan lab, where gain-of-function research could be conducted in secret, with no accountability to Americans.
Fauci last week didn’t explain what sort of research the respectable Chinese colleagues did perform at the Wuhan lab. By all indications, it wasn’t aimed at reducing the lethality and transmissibility of viruses, what might be called “loss of function” research.
In addition to the U.S. taxpayer dollars sent through Fauci, the WIV received shipments of deadly pathogens from a lab in Canada by Dr. Xiangguo Qiu....No word from Fauci what the respectable Chinese scientists did with all that raw viral material.
Fauci earned a medical degree in 1966 but his bio shows no advanced degrees in molecular biology or biochemistry. Strictly speaking, he is not a virologist. Fauci has headed the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984 and he is currently the highest-paid bureaucrat in the entire federal government....Back in 1966, the government was drafting newly minted doctors for military hospitals in Vietnam. Instead of treating wounded American soldiers, Fauci hired on in 1968 with the NIH...

I thought it was a Programming Language.
Of course, Fauci didn’t provide the money for the GOF research. Money if fungible. He provided funding for something else which freed up the money for reallocation to GOF. Any competent government bureaucrat can do that in his sleep.
Like the fireman who commits arson so he can be the hero who puts out the fire.
So we now know for certain that the media and government are liars and Big Tech cover it up.
We knew this all along. What it allows us to do is to throw it back at the leftists when they say trust the science, the media and Big Tech.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
The democRATS colluded with the Chinese to spread a virus creating a pandemic so they could steal the election. Deaths caused by this are just collateral damage.
They had nothing against Trump. So they ran a demented old pervert and a two bit whore who has zero support. Then through dominion cheating they claimed the largest electoral vote for President EVER.
Think about that.

I wouldn’t credit Fauci with that. He’s typical of virologists who are consumed with the Spanish Flu of 1918. Read any book on viruses and most end with a discussion of how something similar is just a short time away and how we need to devote untold sums of money to prepare. GOF research is one manifestation of that preoccupation.
One thing I can’t figure out…why did the lab need US money in the first place? China has plenty of money.
And I guess that Fauci gets to decide who they are? -Tom
