Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) grilled Dr. Anthony Fauci during a hearing on the Chinese coronavirus Tuesday over his prior claim that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has never funded gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Paul’s presentation triggered President Biden’s chief medical adviser, who refused to retract his May 11 statement and instead snapped at the Kentucky senator, brazenly telling Paul, “you do not know what you are talking about.”
“Dr. Fauci, as you are aware it is a crime to lie to Congress,” Paul began during the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions hearing Tuesday, reminding Fauci of his previous remarks to the committee on May 11th, during which the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director stated that the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
“And yet, gain-of-function research was done entirely in the Wuhan Institute … and was funded by the NIH,” Paul said, citing Wuhan Virology paper entitled, “Discovery of a Rich Gene Pool of Bat SARS-Related Coronaviruses.”
“In this paper … she credits the NIH and lists the actual number of the grant that she was given by the NIH,” Paul said. “In this paper, she took two bat coronavirus genes, spiked genes, and combined them with a SARS-related backbone to create new viruses that are not found in nature.”
“Dr. Fauci knowing that it is a crime to lie to Congress, do you wish to retract your statement of May 11 where you claimed that the NIH never funded gain of function research in Wuhan?” Paul asked:
But Fauci would not retract his statement and maintained that gain of function research did not occur.

FauXi has been caught, and his only move is to accuse his accuser.
Hoping this starts the ball rolling again for Fauci getting let go.
when does Fauci start pounding the table with his shoe?
I almost stood up and applauded when I heard Rand say that Fauci was implicated in the deaths of 4 million people.
He actually went there and I’ve been waiting for someone with balls to say it.
LOL That is about the size of that guy’s character.
Fauci, the midget Mengele.
But remember, it is not a crime for anyone in congress to lie to us.
We live in a criminal country.
Its only a crime f you have the balls to enforce it. Rand Paul and The Republican’ts don’t
Can you imagine if the “press” told only the truth?
I’m giving Rand Paul some credit right now.
The rest of the Republicans in the Senate, not necessarily so much.
“Fauci, the midget Mengele.”
Beautiful!!
That's what happens when you corner a rat.
Or throwing it at Sen. Paul.
.
Paul has Fauci’s number and lives rent free in Fauci’s head.
Fauci's defense:
I know you are, but what am I?
