Rand Paul calls planned Fauci book 'science fiction'

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Thursday called Anthony Fauci's planned book on the coronavirus pandemic “science fiction."

The book developed by National Geographic, titled “Expect the Unexpected: Ten Lessons on Truth, Service, and the Way Forward,” was taken off Amazon and other sites as a spokesperson told The Hill it “was prematurely posted for pre-sale."

“Oh, I don’t know. I think they should publish it,” Paul tweeted. “I love science fiction.”

Fauci, the nation's top infectious diseases expert, and Paul have clashed multiple times before over the necessity of wearing masks and the origins of the coronavirus.

“I just don't understand what the problem is with him," Fauci said in an interview after Paul accused the National Institutes of Health of sending funding to a lab in Wuhan.

Fauci came under criticism after the announcement of the book as many accused him of making money from the pandemic.

"He will not earn any royalties from its publication or from the upcoming documentary," the spokesperson for National Geographic said.

Paul has stated he is not getting the coronavirus vaccine due to the “natural immunity” he has from having the virus in March 2020.

“Until they show me evidence that people who have already had the infection are dying in large numbers or being hospitalized or getting very sick, I just made my own personal decision that I’m not getting vaccinated because I’ve already had the disease and I have natural immunity,” Paul said.

I heard it’s still coming out. It taken down from websites because “it was too early for pre-orders.” Ok. Whatever.

When did Fauci have time to write a book?

I was told he had a more than full time job and so many extra hours that it would be almost impossible for any normal human to do .

“He will not earn any royalties from its publication or from the upcoming documentary,” Of course not. He is likely getting a huge advance. How’s that for spin? Likely, there aren’t going to be any royalties since no one will buy it.

There are days I love Rand Paul, and there are days he drives me nuts.

Today I love Rand Paul. He speaks truth.

It seems that the Left is deadly afraid of the truth behind the COVID 19 virus and its origins. Why? Are they afraid that the American people will become hesitant to reflexively and endlessly fund Government “research”? That would threaten tens of thousands of jobs. Are they protecting their own people from overt subversive actions ( ie colluding with the Chinese and being well paid for the collusion) or at the least nonsensical harmful policies? Is Fauci the linchpin? Sadly the current composition of Congress makes a serious investigation highly unlikely.Tucker and Rand Paul can’t do it all.

To save money maybe the publisher took the digital galleys of the Cuomo book and substituted the Fauci name and geographical settings. Same trashy book.

“When I looked in the mirror that morning I wondered if I was really the national hero everyone sees me as. Courageous, brave, brilliant in scientific analysis, ready to lead a frightened nation hungry for truth in a time of sheer panic. Yes, maybe I have the hero’s role after all.”

You don’t need to convince me. I knew Fauci was lying last damn’ year about masks, the Wuhan Virus Institute, his funding of it and way more. Fraudci has been on my poop list since the very first day he went on TV. I’m with Rand Paul on this one all day long. I’m just damn’ glad someone (Rand Paul) is holding Fraudci accountable.

Book deals are how they launder money. Cuomo also had a book deal. This is the big payoff before he retires from government service. (hint, end up at Gitmo)
