Senators Push 9/11-Style Commission to Investigate Covid Response; Anthony Fauci Decries
Ace of Spades ^ | 3/17/2022 | Ace

Republicans {question} whether the U.S. government played a role in the pandemic by funding "gain of function" research that allowed scientists to supercharge viruses in laboratories....

You may have heard that Obama banned gain-of-function research.

You probably also heard that Fauci overturned this ban by creating a new definition of "gain of function" which would allow gain of function research to continue, by calling it something else.

You probably heard that happened during Trump's presidency.

But do you know when in Trump's presidency that happened?

He did it during the presidential transition when he knew that there was a lot of chaos and confusion and most of Trump's staffers hadn't yet taken their places.

Actually they first announced they'd do this during Obama's Administration, as his people were moving out, then did it surreptitiously when Trump's folks came in.

And then he kept this secret from the White House -- he did not alert the President that he was writing a new "gain of function" definition which would allow gain of function funding.

"It kind of just got rammed through," one official said.

"I think there's truth in the narrative that the (National Security Council) staff, the president, the White House chief-of-staff, those people were in the dark that he was switching back on the research."

The Weekend Australian has also confirmed that neither Mike Pompeo, the then director of the Central Intelligence Agency, nor National Security Council member Matthew Pottinger, was briefed.

All of that sounds like something an honest man would do, while believing himself to be acting honestly, right?

The Obama administration was just ratcheting up gain of function. Out of the country so his hands were clean. All part of the plan.

How about the role in concealing vax effects?

There’s a question on it?

The question should be... well, I’ll keep my mouth shut.

Read the book the Real Fauci. Fauci should be fired and arrested.

After reading that book (I'm around 75% of the way through), that's the least that should happen to Fauci. Evil narcissistic sociopath is a fitting title for this person.

In true Soviet way, he should be fired at, and then arrested.
