SEN. RAND PAUL (R-KY): Well, the problem is, is that the Chinese have destroyed any kind of reputation they had. I mean, we can no longer believe any kind of pronouncements from them, which makes us suspicious. Right now, there's a host of disease affecting young people, respiratory disease and pneumonia, in China, and they tell us, well, there's nothing to see here.
And maybe that's true, but they have destroyed any kind of foundation we had in trusting them, and they still haven't come clean. In early 2020, when COVID came out, they said, oh, we're not having human-to-human transmission, and we don't seem to be having an extraordinary amount of flooding in the hospitals or deaths.
All of that was untrue, and they knew for at least three or four weeks. They also knew the sequence of the virus, and they kept that secret as well. I think they also knew that three of their workers got sick at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in November 2019. I think they knew all of this.
And I think they absolutely know it now, and the only way they can restore trust is to own up to it. Look, I don't blame them completely for this. I think it was an accident, but cover-up is not an accident. If they were to come clean and say, we're punishing the scientists who did what they weren't supposed to, I think then that we could restore some trust.
But, right now, we have really no trust with the Chinese government.
MARIA BARTIROMO: Well, what about the accountability here, and why the Biden administration does not push for it?
I mean, right now, as we speak, there are American investors continuing to underwrite the CCP by buying those companies that are tied to the Chinese military. It seems this administration is not willing to pull the economic lever, and that is shut off the capital markets to Chinese communist companies that may have been involved in that cover-up or tied to the military.
PAUL: Well, we still continue to fight the Biden administration every day just for unclassified information, and they resist at every turn.
We have had to basically withhold nominees and withhold legislation to try to get anything from the Biden administration. And I'm not sure what it is. Either it's sympathy or believing that relations with China are so important that the truth can be obscured.
But there's also a certain amount of culpability in the Biden administration throughout several different departments, USAID, NIH, HHS. They're withholding documents because they funded the lab in Wuhan, not just once, not just twice, but for a decade they were funding.
And we have Anthony Fauci on record as saying that, even if a pandemic occurs, even if a gain-of-function research infects a scientist and a pandemic occurs, that the knowledge would be worth the risk. And I think most people who had a loved one die from COVID either here or around the world would disagree and think Anthony Fauci made a disastrous judgment call.
But he also took the research, and it didn't go before the normal scrutiny. There's a safety committee that was supposed to review this, and Anthony Fauci allowed this research to be done at his signature, at his conclusion, at his approval without the approval of the safety committee.
And this -- for this, he really should go down in history perhaps as one of the worst people in public office ever and responsible for probably more deaths than other -- any other individual in the medical world.
BARTIROMO: Well, I mean, there was so much censorship of so much information that was vital for Americans to see and understand about COVID and about the vaccines, but they censored it.
Can we even trust health officials in this government?
PAUL: Well, it was directed explicitly by him. We go over this in the book, because he commissioned scientists who were saying in private that they thought it was a manipulative virus, manipulated a lab and came from a lab.
He convinced them in public to say the opposite. He commissioned and edited a paper that said that absolutely this did not come from a lab, while, privately, all of these same scientists were saying, in all likelihood, it did come from a lab.
So, there really was an orchestrated cover-up on this. We also now know that he was visiting the CIA in early 2020. We know that the CIA scientists, seven of them, voted six to one to say it came from the lab, and then they were reversed by superiors. We need to know whether Anthony Fauci influenced the superiors, or perhaps the opposite. Did the CIA influence Anthony Fauci?
But we also need to know how often he was visiting and what he was there for. Our understanding is that he wasn't recorded on visitor logs, but he was appearing frequently at the CIA. You have to realize that he was not a scientist in charge of a cure for cancer. He was also in charge of a lot of bioweapons money and in charge of a lot of things that had dual use.
And they won't reveal any of this to us. They had weekly meetings on dangerous dual-use research concerns and gain-of-function, and not one item of any of those meetings has been released to us, despite us asking for it for over three years.
BARTIROMO: Do you believe COVID was a bioweapon?
PAUL: I think that it was probably developed for a vaccine. I think they developed a coronavirus. They inserted this cleavage site in to make it more infectious to humans, and then they had a vaccine very early on, because I think they were developing a vaccine against COVID, and then COVID got out.
BARTIROMO: Yes.
PAUL: But the interesting thing is the scientist, Dr. Zo Yusin (ph), who developed it, died mysteriously two months after the development of the virus. He fell from a tall building in Beijing. And there's a lot of questions as to the circumstances of his death.
BARTIROMO: Wow. I did not realize that, that he died from a tall building in Beijing. That's incredible.
Considering Fauci is going to appear before Congress in January it seems he has some questions to answer
Looking forward the rematch between Rand and the insane little bastard.
PAUL: But the interesting thing is the scientist, Dr. Zo Yusin (ph), who developed it, died mysteriously two months after the development of the virus. He fell from a tall building in Beijing. And there’s a lot of questions as to the circumstances of his death.
PONTIAC: Odd thing is, scientist working with the CIA have a bad habit of falling out of tall buildings.

So RFK JR is right?

We had one in our city who just for no good reason decided to jump off the bridge.
“They killed Kenny!”
Watching Fauci made me realize that term-limits, on your elected representatives, are a BAD IDEA.
Term limits are instead needed on permanent government bureaucrats, who have immense money and power, but have never faced an election or public scrutiny their entire careers.
2004 and. 2005 were though years to be a scientist.
Why not both?
(but you make a good point.)
PAUL: I think that it was probably developed for a vaccine. I think they developed a coronavirus. They inserted this cleavage site in to make it more infectious to humans, and then they had a vaccine very early on, because I think they were developing a vaccine against COVID,
question, why would you make a vaccine against a manmade virus???
unless you planned on using said virus as a weapon that is...
nuremburg yet ?
80 + minor orphans and wards if new york state burried in mass common grave.
What do we make of this transcript, Freepers?
Considering Fauci is going to appear before Congress in January it seems he has some questions to answer.

I think Senator Paul should be looking at a corrupt law system instead of spending all of his time on an idiot like Fauci.
However, time to sell a book.....right Rand?
Very "Stranlove-esque" line there.
i appreciate that...
28 Nov: Sky News Australia: World News: EXCLUSIVE: CIA analysts were ‘bribed to change position’ on COVID-19 origins as Fauci led ‘orchestrated’ effort to undermine lab-leak origin theory
A new Sky News Australia documentary reveals further evidence of the “orchestrated effort” to push the narrative that COVID-19 had natural origins, despite intelligence officials saying it “most likely” leaked out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
by Patrick Hannaford
In the new Sky News Australia documentary, “What Really Happened in Wuhan, the Next Chapter”, Sharri Markson reveals explosive new evidence about the origins of the pandemic that brought the world to a standstill in 2020...
One public official involved in the discussions was Robert Kadlec, who at the time was the Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services (Preparedness and Response) and technically Dr Fauci’s superior.
In an exclusive interview for the Sky News documentary, Dr Kadlec told Sharri he had discussions with Dr Fauci and they deliberately decided to downplay the lab leak theory.
The former Health and Human Services official said that they wanted to avoid people making allegations about US involvement in research that may have created the virus, but that Dr Fauci was also worried about protecting his own reputation.
“(What) made that even more acute was the fact that they didn’t have good visibility into what they were doing and what they were supporting through the grants – through EcoHealth Alliance – that went to the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” he said...
Prior to his role in the Department of Health and Human Services, Dr Kadlec was the deputy staff director for the US Senate Intelligence Committee. He spoke to Sharri about the work of Dr Zhou Yusen, a Chinese military scientist whose vaccine research may have been the cause of the global pandemic.
Dr Zhou was one of the first individuals to publish a patent for a COVID-19 vaccine, and according to Dr Kadlec the Chinese military scientist would have had to have started his work on the vaccine “no later than 2019”.
“That’s what our assessment is, and it’s based on the fact that to do what he was trying to do,” Dr Kadlec said.
Dr Zhou was found dead in “mysterious circumstances”, just months after reports surfaced of his role in the origins of COVID-19.
Pointing out that intelligence agencies suspect foul play in the death, Sharri asked whether it was possible the Chinese Communist Party killed Dr Zhou for “accidentally starting COVID-19”.
“It’s certainly possible. We considered that as a plausible possibility,” Dr Kadlec said, before adding they had “no evidence to make that assessment.”
