Anthony Fauci defends US funding coronavirus research at Wuhan lab

Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday defended the US giving hundreds of thousands of dollars for research at a Wuhan lab studying whether bat coronaviruses could be transmitted to humans — saying that it would have been “negligent” not to do so.

“It was a… proposal that was peer-reviewed and given a very high rating for the importance of why it should be done,” Fauci told CNN anchor Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”

“[The proposal was] to be able to go and do a survey of what was going on among the bat population because everyone in the world was trying to figure out what the original source of the original SARS CoV-1 was,” he continued.

Fauci, who is the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, argued that it was necessary to pursue the research.

“It was almost as if you didn’t pursue that research you would be negligent because you were trying to find out how you could prevent this from happening again,” Fauci said.

Fauci added that it was critical that the research occurred in China since that’s where SARS first emerged.

“If we were starting to look for bats in Secaucus, New Jersey, or Fairfax County, Virginia, it wouldn’t contribute very much to the standing of where SARS COV-1 originated,” Fauci said.

Question for Mr. Fauci. Why aren’t there any studies of US bats in the news?

Fauci says that we've got to create the virus to find out how to survive the virus.

He got that from his buddy, Nancy Pelosi, "we have to pass the bill to see what's in it."

“the FIRST thing you need to do is subpoena this trolls bank records.”

The guy is so protected, and so well advised, that the bank records that would hang him most likely untouchable and hidden in off-shore accounts. We never will know.

This new Fauci statement was shaped by lawyers, not science.

The point is he lied to congress about what he is admitting and defending here.

He also failed to fund the necessary research needed over 15 years so that when a SARS virus epidemic occurred we would have medical countermeasures in place.

Fauci is corrupt and ignored his priorities to instead live the jet set life style of a billionaire mogul.

35 years in power with a yearly multi-billion dollar budget.

Communist China wants us dead, and this pied piper of wuhan wants to pay for our suicide.

Somebody, anybody, sane or not, find this wonderful human being on the street, and “give him the regards of the Lannisters”, please!!

A wise man once said, “When you are in a hole, quit digging.”
Someone needs to take the shovel away from Fauci. I hope they do not.

In reality when this is all said and done, it will be evident he funded “gain of function for covid” and ran the funds through a third party to hide what he was doing. He probably did this in totally misguided research in science that was illegal under USA Law. Scientists push the limits of knowledge verses safety. They normally ignore safety.

His true crime is denigrating HCQ and Ivermectin as treatment for Covid. This action killed hundreds of thousands world wide. Fauci is a very skilled physician. Fauci knew and knows these drugs work. I think I understand his motive and it is evil.

I think Fauci wanted a world wide crisis (he got it) to fundamentally change society to socialism if not Marxism. It is working.

Fauci is an evil man!

If you’ve ever seen the poster of “The Tree of Liberty”, with the Continental soldier next to it, and can figure out what he is doing -—THAT is what this “fearless freep Fauci” needs.

I am really angry about Doctor Frankenstein spending our tax dollars in the billions and funding new disease creation for Pete sakes in Communist Red China - and acting like it’s ok and Senator Rand Paul does not know what he is talking about!

This jerk and all the other investors and participants developing these bioweapons and unleashing them on mankind - they need to meet the pitchforks and torches crowd. Enough of these death merchants already.

Both Dr. Baric and Dr. Fauci were the two who are responsible for fooling around with the Sars virus here in this country first and then outsourcing it to the Wuhan Lab in China. Why? Why was it necessary to investigate transference into humans in the first place? Keep asking that question of Dr. Fauci. Why was it necessary to fool with Sars in the first place? Why was and is it necessary to keep funneling money into the Wuhan Lab? Have they not done enough damage to the world already? Is it not time we stop Doctor Anthony Fauci?

“Fauci is an evil man!”

So was Dr Mengele.

“It was almost as if you didn’t pursue that research you would be negligent because you were trying to find out how you could prevent this from happening again,” Fauci said.

I’m pretty sure Mengele would’ve used the same logic when appearing on CNN…

You said, under oath, that the U.S. didn’t fund virus research in Wuhan, “Dr.”

Now you’re saying we did.

And you wonder why people call you a liar.

I suspect not that many people died from COVID alone. Now that the CDC is withdrawing the PCR test because it sucks, who even knows if anybody identified by PCR testing as COVID positive actually had it?

Then why was this research outlawed here? fouchi wanted to do it and skirted US laws to get it done, in china no less, using our tax dollars.
