Rand Paul threatens to investigate royalties to Fauci
Fox News ^ | Sept 14 | By Ronn Blitzer

Posted on 09/14/2022 2:53:51 PM PDT by RandFan

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., accused government health officials of taking a wrong approach in evaluating COVID-19 vaccines by failing to take into account people's previous infections.

The Kentucky Republican then implied that there could be a reason for this. Stating that government vaccine committee members have not disclosed what, if any, royalties they have received from companies that make the vaccines, Paul said that if the GOP takes control of the Senate in November's midterm elections they will investigate the matter.

"We've been asking you and you refused to answer whether anybody on the vaccine committees gets royalties from the pharmaceutical companies," Paul said to Dr. Anthony Fauci during a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing Wednesday. "I asked you last time, and what was your response? We don't have to tell you. We've demanded them through the Freedom of Information Act. And what have you said? We're not going to tell you. But I tell you this, when we get in charge, we're going to change the rules and you will have to divulge where you get your royalties from, from what companies, and if anybody in the committee has a conflict of interest, we're going to learn about it. I promise you that."

Fauci responded by saying that those committees are advisory committees with the CDC and FDA, yet Paul keeps asking about him.

Sadly I predict this is all BS talk. Senators/Congresscritters always “threaten” to investigate and not a damn thing happens.

I agree...most politicians grandstand, spout nonsense, and then do nothing. But it allows them to tell their constituents when it comes re-election and fund raising time they were “fighting for them”...another over used phrase.

What’s he going to do when Fauci refuses to cooperate or even appear? The toothless GOP won’t do squat to him.

If Fauci were to ever be found swinging on a lamp post. Would anyone care?

Fauci and his fellow vaccine pushers won’t answer whether or not they’re getting royalties from the vaccine makers? That they won’t answer with an implicit “no” should tell us all we need to know. They’re getting payola from big pharma. It figures. Democrats are always running a scheme on everything with the American people always being their mark.

I knew it was bad for a long time but I never dreamed this govt was this completely corrupt. Corrupted by democrats like this little Fauci puke.

You can bet the “royalties”, i.e., kick-backs, are many and yuge. But they’re so well hidden that no forensic auditor ever will find the info.

Oh, come on. “Threatens.” Rand is the Trey Gowdy of the Senate. He has subpoena power. He just uses these little exchanges with Fallacy to fundraise.

I like Rand, but I think he is not serious at all about “getting” Dr. Fallacy.

What a laugh! Fauci fraud is worth tens of millions but at 83 or so? He can’t take it with him. Perhaps he will leave it to the Bill Gates Vaccination foundation. Or nieces nephews who will blow those millions on green hair dye and trans studies.

“I like Rand, but I think he is not serious at all about “getting” Dr. Fallacy.”

In a Republican ruled Senate. Rand will be after Fauci with a vengeance. This is an MD vs MD thing. Or Doc vs Doc.
