Sen. John Kennedy has slammed Dr. Fauci for claiming COVID-19 jumped from an animal to humans, and charged that the top doctor needs to address evidence supporting the theory the virus leaked from Wuhan Institute of Virology. The Louisiana senator spoke in an interview with Sean Hannity on hours after Fauci appeared on MSNBC to insist that he had always been open to the lab leak theory.
Kennedy said: 'Every time I am asked about Dr. Fauci, I say the same thing. I know Dr. Fauci. I like Dr. Fauci. I respect Dr. Fauci. But Dr. Fauci needs to cut the crap. This is not about Dr. Fauci. He gave a lot of U.S. taxpayer money to the Wuhan lab for Chinese scientists to research bat coronaviruses. Neither Dr. Fauci nor any of his people can guarantee us that the Chinese scientists didn't use that money to do gain of function research and turn a normal virus into a super-charged virus.'
He added: 'They were not monitored. Dr. Fauci's people did not monitor the lab. It's not like it hasn't happened before.' Kennedy then cited an opinion article in The Wall Street Journal in which Dr. Steven Quay and Richard Muller claim that 'science suggests a Wuhan lab leak.'
In that article, Quay and Muller wrote: 'Since 1992 there have been at least 11 separate experiments adding a special sequence to the same location. The end result has always been supercharged viruses.'
The senator then noted that a number of lab accidents have already led to human infections, including the 1977 H1N1 flu pandemic that killed more than 700,000 people.

'Well, it's been a year. Where is the proof? Where is the smoking bat? Do you really think if China could prove this virus occurred naturally in nature it would withhold that evidence? No it would scream it from the rooftop to get the world off its back.'
He added: 'Dr. Fauci needs to address it,' referring to evidence that points to the lab leak theory, such as COVID-19's genetic sequence.
'He needs to hit these things head on. Otherwise, it's going to undermine public health. People's confidence in public health and the American people are going to end up trusting Dr. Pepper more than Dr. Fauci,' Kennedy said.
Claims the virus escaped from the Wuhan lab had been laughed off by many as conspiracy theories until recently when researchers at top universities like Harvard and Cambridge suggested in a letter that the 'hypotheses' cannot be ruled out until there is more evidence.
Last month, it was also reported that three workers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology fell seriously-ill with COVID-like symptoms in November 2019, months before China revealed the existence of the virus.
Fauci, speaking with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd on Wednesday, had said: ‘It’s very dangerous because a lot of what you’re seeing as attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science. Because all of the things that I have spoken about, consistently from the very beginning, have bene fundamentally based on science.’
‘Sometimes those things were inconvenient truths for people and there was pushback against me. So if you are trying to get at me as a public health official and a scientist, you are attacking not only me, Dr. Anthony Fauci, you are attacking science,’ Fauci said.
Kennedy then went through his reasoning for why he believes COVID-19 may have spread from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, referencing the controversial grant the National Institute of Health had approved which provided some money to the lab.
In 2014, the NIH awarded a $3.7 million grant to EcoHealth Alliance, which is based in the United States, to study the risk of coronaviruses emerging from bats. EcoHealth Alliance in turn distributed nearly $600,000 of that funding to its collaborator, the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Fauci, who serves as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases under the umbrella of the NIH, has denied that the NIH directly funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan.

Kennedy also called back to the Quay and Muller op-ed which noted that the COVID-19 genome contains a double CGG sequence that ‘has never been found naturally’ and ‘is suppressed naturally’ though ‘the opposite is true in laboratory work.’
‘Yes, it could have happened randomly, through mutations. But do you believe that?’ Quay and Muller wrote in their op-ed.
How many diseases has “science” brought upon us? I must truly wonder, and it makes me...NOT happy...
Hey Senator....this ALL ABOUT Dr. FRAUD! He is a little Dr. Mengele....FACE IT! Quit being CUTE about it....Dr. Fraud FUNDED this virus!
“Dr. FRAUD”
Good one. Dr. Falci is another I’ve seen and agree with.
If you watch the video about dr pepper in dublin, tx, you might not trust dr pepper either.
LOL. I don’t drink it. Way, too sweet. Rarely drink soda anyway other than ginger ale.
‘the American people are going to trust Dr Pepper more than Dr. Fauci’
That’s a great line, certainly true for me.
Dr. FOULXI also.
If Bill Gates’ operating system is equivalent to his knowledge of medicine, it’s the worst...like Windows!
We must get behind the “direct NIH funding” denial/dodge. If in its proposal, EcoHealth Alliance in any way made clear that it would be distributing significant funds to its partner, the Wuhan Lab, that would have to be the end of it. Evidence would show that NIH knowingly supported Wuhan’s GOF research.
Similarly, if EcoHealth Alliance had previously supported the Wuhan Lab for similar research, NIH would have had a responsibility to know what had happened with its money in the past. If money was previously thusly distributed under any similar arrangement, then supported it again subsequently, NIH must therefore have acted knowingly in the follow-on $3.7M/$600k case. That, too, would show the NIH “directly fund[ing]” denial as a bald-faced lie.
Half the country has annointed Dr. Covidstein already so if he said the vaccine will make you 500% smarter, they certainly would believe it. On the other hand, the other half wouldn’t believe him if he said that gravity keeps them grounded..
Attacks on Lysenko were not permitted for many years either.
Unfortunately, in his case he lived to a quiet retirement.
Dr.Birx knows the truth, she needs to be investigated.
Who TH is this Adam Schrader? Is he that much of an idiot?
Or just a dishonest propagandist?
My answer? The latter.
Dr. Fraudci
