Rand Paul: Fauci intimidates scientists from contradicting him because 'he controls all the funding'
Fox News ^ | 7/20/21 | Charles Creitz

Scientists with differing opinions about COVID-19 origins than Dr. Anthony Fauci keep it to themselves because because the top disease expert controls much of their funding, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, told "Fox News Primetime" Tuesday night.

"He has been [at NIH] for 40 years; probably 39 years too long. But he controls all the funding," Paul warned.

"So, people are deathly afraid of him. Researchers will not speak out. Why have there not been other scientists?"

Paul said that he receives letters from scientists that routinely contradict Fauci's prescriptions and public statements, but that they all offer the same regret: that they are afraid to speak out against what the health care bureaucrat says.

"They are very distrustful of what he is saying. They don't think he is making sense and reading the science accurately," said Paul.

"They're afraid to speak out because many of them are university scientists and they depend on NIH funds: To cross him means it's last money you will ever get."

Paul said Fauci has a "significant conflict of interest" in the Wuhan matter because he was "at the top of the food chain" of funding distribution and now claims none of it went to the dangerous gain-of-function research.

"All he is saying is oh, well, the research now doesn't meet our definition," he said. "He is dancing around the truth. Why? Because if this disease came from the lab and they were funding gain of function, guess what? There is at the very least moral culpability he has for the beginning of the pandemic."

It's worth repeating: Rand Paul has done more to stop the advance of the official narrative than anyone in govt with the exception of Trump when he was President.

Rand nailed that SOB with the gain-of-function questioning on May 12. By May 14, the CDC stunningly removed their mask guidance for the vaxxed. Coinkidink? I don't think so - I think that was designed to push the revelation off the news and weekend talk shows.

....buuut it's still here. Say what you want about Rand. He deserves a medal.

Nice roundup of articles showing that Fauci is lying ...

https://thenationalpulse.com/topics/gain-of-function/

On War Room yesterday/last evening, they were talking about Fauci’s testimony & encounter with Dr. Paul. Fauci has changed slightly what he’s saying since May .... peeling back the onion, as they described it.

The same is true for the climate change narrative. See how John Coleman rips CNN for fake news:

Fauxi is one of the most evil human beings ever to walk on the planet earth 🌎

Kudos to Senator RAND Paul for finally exposing this scumbag fraudulent Nazi for exactly what he is

Because of the tremendous evil like the media it is very hard for the truth to get out about anything

We the truth tellers must strive ever harder to make sure that the truth prevails over the lies that they tell over and over and over

Saw Senator Paul’s questioning of FauXi on several Fox shows last night, and he was furious at being exposed for being the evil LIAR he is.
His response to Paul reveal that the “good doctor” has a serious case of the Greta Thunberg virus.

Well noted. If hard science can be so corrupted, think how easily it can be done with the softies, like education priorities, and economics, etc. Pretty soon capitalism itself will be deemed such a boogeyman that all studies will conclude it is evil.

From President Eisenhower's farewell address:
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.

The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

Don't say you haven't been warned.

I was thinking to limit department head leadership positions to 10 year tenures like the FBI, but that didn't pan out so well with Comey...

I don’t depend on government funding so I can say Fauci is FUBAR.

Capitalism has got in bed with globalism. This will kill capitalism for sure.

I think Sen. Paul should preface any questions he asks fauci with the following statement: “I would like to point out for the record that I am an doctor who has actually personally treated patients. “Dr” fauci, on the other hand is just an administrative bureaucrat with a medical degree.”
