Dr. Anthony Fauci was adamant the National Institutes of Health has never funded dangerous research on bat viruses in the Chinese lab suspected of being source of the COVID-19 pandemic, when he was questioned by Republican Sen. Rand Paul two weeks ago.
“Senator Paul, with all due respect, you are entirely and completely incorrect that the NIH has not ever and does not now fund ‘gain of function’ research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Fauci said in the fiery Senate hearing on May 11.
He couldn’t have been more certain.
Until he wasn’t certain a few hours later.
That afternoon, Fauci admitted to “a very minor collaboration as part of a subcontract of a grant we had a collaboration with some Chinese scientists,” during an appearance at Poynter.org’s “festival of fact checking.”
It’s like being a little bit pregnant.
Rattled by the morning’s confrontation with Paul, Fauci for the first time admitted he was not at all confident the virus had developed naturally and maybe, just maybe, it could have come from a lab leak.
Paul, a medical doctor, did not allow Fauci to slide away from a direct answer to the crucial question: did American taxpayers fund dangerous research to “juice up” bat viruses in the Wuhan Institute?
He answered no. But the correct answer is yes.
On this, potentially the most consequential of all of Facui’s errors, he had to be dragged kicking and screaming by Paul to a final acknowledgment of the obvious.

Daszak has been one of the most vocal opponents of the “lab leak” theory and has asserted that the virus probably emerged spontaneously from the wild.
Clearly he is conflicted on the question of the origins of the pandemic. Yet he was chosen by the World Health Organization as the only representative from America to take part in its fake investigation of the Wuhan lab overseen by Beijing in February. No surprise Daszak and his WHO team comprehensively ruled out a leak from the Wuhan lab, and farcically suggested the virus might have been imported into China via frozen food such as Australian beef.
Daszak also was instrumental in shaping the early media narrative on the origins of the pandemic. In February 2020, he drafted an influential letter from 26 scientists published in The Lancet dismissing the lab-leak hypothesis as a “conspiracy theory” and insisting the virus emerged naturally. E-mails released under Freedom of Information laws revealed that he was the originator of the letter.
Aren’t there penalties for lying to Congress?
Not for Hillary.
So what did Dr. Fauci know? Did he know that $600,000 was used for gain of function research in Wuhan lab?

Ahhh, the magic of double negatives.
The problem is you sometimes can't stop using them.
H, he didn’t lie, he just “clarified”. Or as Elwood Blues put it, “It wasn’t lies, it was just...bullshit”.
Bump for laterz
Yes, if he was under oath. FauxChi has broken many other laws which include crimes against humanity. He'll never see a court room because RINOs, err, Republicans do not fight.
6’ of separation underground from all of us would be proper social distancing from Wuhan Wormhead Fauzi. Even the robins of springtime wouldn’t pull that worm from the dirt.
for better or for worse...

Does fauci realize what he did? And does he know how many around the country want his hide?
There's a few exceptions (Jordan, OH), but not enough with a spine to make a difference.
Lying is the latest fad... it’s acceptable by the elite.... just lie..telling the truth is for the Walmart crowd.
I mean, it's that bad.
