Did a House GOP Report Prove Dr. Fauci Lied to Congress About Funding Gain of Function Research in Wuhan?

On Wednesday evening, House Intelligence Committee Republicans issued a 21-page report that not only says they believe that the U.S. government engaged in “dangerous scientific research with China,” but also provides “overwhelming” evidence that COVID-19 escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) as early as October 2019.

According to the report, “significant circumstantial evidence raises serious concerns that the COVID-19 outbreak may have been a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

According to Just The News, which has reviewed the report, that evidence includes

• “A U.S. State Department memo from January revealing that ‘several researchers at the Wuhan lab were sickened with COVID-19-like symptoms in fall 2019′”
• Evidence of a shutdown or communications blackout in the facility between October 7, 2019, and October 24, 2019; warnings from U.S. diplomats in China that the Wuhan lab was “conducting dangerous research on coronaviruses without following necessary safety protocols, risking the accidental outbreak of a pandemic” as far back as 2017
• A recent scientific study concluding that COVID-19 has “several characteristics that, when taken together, are not easily explained by a natural zoonotic origin hypothesis”
• And China’s “history of viral leaks from its research labs, including one in 2004 in Beijing tied to an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, an earlier coronavirus known as SARs.”

“Unfortunately, Beijing has hindered the conduct of a full, credible investigation,” the report says. “There is overwhelming circumstantial evidence, however, to support a lab leak as the origination of COVID-19, while there is no substantive evidence supporting the natural zoonosis hypothesis.”

The report also cites work funded by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases that “appeared to directly or indirectly involve controversial ‘gain of function’ research where coronaviruses were made ‘more infectious in humans.'”

Rand Paul has been doing real work with this, but he’s clearly a doctor and not a lawyer or he’d have framed his questions more tightly.

Gee, who would have guessed?

I suppose it could have been a leak in the sense that letting air out of a tire through the valve stem is a leak.....

ChiCom Fauci could admit that Xi Jinping pays him to tell lies about the ChiCom virus, and the Demonicrat-controlled House would do nothing about it.

So what? Republicans will beat their chests and call for hearings, knowing the Democrats will vote against them.

But the Republicans will believe, and think we believe, that they've done their job.

The whole business is a sick farce.

I love my country. I love our form and structure of government.

I DESPISE those who have been elected (some illegally) and appointed to administer our laws.

Well... most of them.

Democide (death by Government) was one of the greatest forms of death in the 20th Century. Government legalized abortion and euthanasia make it the Number 1 form of death. Why should we doubt that COVID-19 and the “emergency vaccines” are further population reduction stratagems.

Deep State members can lie to Congress without consequences. Conservatives are punished for telling the truth.
