EXCLUSIVE: Reps Comer, Jordan Demand Fauci To Explain Possible ‘Discrepancy’ In Sworn Congressional Testimony
Daily Caller ^ | June 09, 2021 | Henry Rogers

Posted on 06/09/2021 2:17:06 PM PDT by conservative98

House Oversight and Reform Committee Ranking Member James Comer and House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan sent a letter Wednesday to White House senior medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci asking him to explain a possible “discrepancy” in his sworn congressional testimony about taxpayer-funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

In the letter, first obtained by Daily Caller, Comer and Jordan said it appears the NIH funded gain-of-function research and call on Fauci to clarify his May 2021 testimony, in which he stated under oath that the NIH has never funded gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

“On May 11, 2021, while testifying under oath, you stated, ‘[t]he NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the [WIV].’ This appears to contradict your 2012 statement regarding gain-of-function research and the WIV,” the letter said.

“At a 2012 conference entitled ‘Gain-of-Function Research on HPA1 H5N1 Viruses,’ you said, ‘[w]hat historically investigators have done is to actually create gain-of-function by making mutations, passage adoption, or other genetic techniques, such as reverse genetics,'” the letter said.

“In 2014, you, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded EcoHealth Alliance, Inc. (EcoHealth) a grant entitled ‘Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence.’ This grant allowed EcoHealth to ‘[t]est predictions of [coronavirus] … transmission … using reverse genetics’ … Funds from this grant were subsequently awarded to the WIV.”

“Using your own definition, it appears the NIH funded gain-of-function research at the WIV,” the letter continued.

The two lawmakers then asked Fauci to confirm the authenticity of the 2012 video on YouTube and for him to verify whether the 2014 grant description is accurate.

“Those who are trying to make the case that there is some sort of ‘discrepancy’ in my testimony are simply anti-science.”

Beyond the dangerous arrogance and pomposity of proclaiming "anyone who criticizes me is attacking Science" -- thus placing himself off-limits from questioning -- he *admitted* he purposely issued false, anti-science, politicized claims, such as telling people not to wear masks: https://t.co/TghpTiKHdj— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) June 9, 2021

Fauci also admitted he purposely issued inaccurate claims about herd immunity for political reasons.

Once you *admit* that you made false statements in violation of The Science™, you don't then get to equate yourself to The Science™ such that attacks on you are attacks on it.— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) June 9, 2021

I'm not as anti-Fauci as others, but I think the level of media and public adoration he received carries a high danger to corrupt any human.

I often think about what Lula said to me in 2016 about how that happened to Sergio Moro, and how Lula had to also fight it. Read this: pic.twitter.com/z7nvg32aXu— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) June 9, 2021

We're not talking about science...we're talking about truth. You lied....and more than once.

And these 'BRAND NEW TYPES OF VACCINES"...which you apparently know little about...and don't care either...

Let's face it...you are NOT the smartest cookie at present. No way have you kept up with the leaps and bounds of these viruses.

I'm going to post a link....that even says you don't care.

AND I noticed you waited for the Moderna even though the Pfizer was available weeks earlier.

See my next post and link.

While they’re at it, they should find out about the actual vaccination stats.

Bet everyone involved is lying.

DEMAND Fauci to testify?

He is Deep State and therefore innocent.

Who the hell do they think they are?

If they can steal an election, they can steal ANYTHING.

Dr. Fauci and Cuomo are personally responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans.

I’ve been watching this show for years. Outrage, committees, hearings and nothing ever happens. These people are a joke, crime pays if your in the club and America needs a “Star Chamber”
