Dr. Fauci defends funding coronavirus research in Wuhan
Arutz Sheva ^ | 25/7/21

Posted on 07/25/2021 2:00:16 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the beleaguered public face of the United States government’s response to the coronavirus, has defended America’s funding of research into coronaviruses at a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

“It was a … proposal that was peer-reviewed...

The United States reportedly gave $600,000 to a non-profit institution in Wuhan which had links to the city’s Institute of Virology, where researchers were investigating whether bat coronaviruses could be transmitted from animals to humans.

“[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,” Fauci said, noting that since SARS first emerged in China, it was vital that the research be conducted there.

“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 added.

“If we were starting to look for bats in Secaucus, New Jersey, or Fairfax County, Virginia, it wouldn’t contribute very much “[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,” Fauci said, noting that since SARS first emerged in China, it was vital that the research be conducted there.

He keeps falling back on “it was peer-reviewed.”

I’ve been on peer-review committees in the energy field. Peer reviewers NEVER asked “should this research have been undertaken in the first place? Is it ethical?” They look at the quality of the research and ask if the results are accurate and reproducible.

Peer-review is not the issue here at all. In fact, I’d wager that if you look at the people selected for peer review, they all get funded by Fauci’s organization or are under his chain of command. They know how the game is played — you don’t object too strenuously if you want your own gravy train to keep running. The whole system and peer review is corrupt.

The fact that he keeps hiding behind “peer review” says volumes, none of it good for him.

It is ok to plan genocide if the plan is peer reviewed

This is exactly how global warming academic publishing cabal started. Profs sat on review boards who were pals or had students that submitted papers being reviewed. Eventuality that level of cronyism moved up a level into the funding agencies. This was actually pointed out to a Congressional committee back in the 1990s.

So our NIH is funding bio-weapon research in a country that is our strategic opponent.

I was at the rally in Phoenix yesterday that featured President Trump. When one of the speakers preceding him mentioned Fauci, the crowd got on its feet and chanted, “Lock him up! Lock him up!”

Fauci: We funded surveys. What is this “Gain of Function Thingy” people keep talking about?

Classic CYA.

This little propagandist is a pure menace to our entire society. A sensible, just society would have put him in prison by now, or at the very least locked him away in some isolation area to ensure he can never show his face on television again. Instead, he will no doubt make several appearances on the Sunday network TV propaganda shows today, in which he will continue to spread his false, constantly-conflicting propaganda and not be able to explain why he has been wrong about literally everything about this virus for 15 solid months now.

Well, if you take a bungee chord, tie one end to the Golden Gate middle span, and the other end around his neck, you could hang him five million times for each of his victims, and he wouldn’t get to talk to the media while he is dangling, sproinging back up, and then getting swatted back down to dangle, sproing and get swatted five million times, or until his head falls off, whichever comes first.

Here’s that compliment paid to the CCP by the Biden campaign for bringing in the virus which they admitted really helped fix it to get Biden elected http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3940857/posts

... not be able to explain why he has been wrong about literally everything about this virus for 15 solid months now.

He had one job to do with multiple hundreds of billion dollars in funding and he failed miserably. He has been proven wrong at every turn. He has not once admitted a mistake or offered up even the smallest regret. His God complex will not allow any self examination. Further he refuses to acknowledge that all of the scientists he so proudly appeals to for support would never intentionally contradict him for fear of losing their funding or their jobs.
