Fauci “Misled Congress” About Covid Gain-Of-Function Research, But was‘Protected By Biden Admin’; Former CDC Chief Robert Redfield Says
Nation and State ^ | 09/17/2022 | Tyler Durden

Just last week, Senator Rand Paul appeared on Fox News and slammed Anthony Fauci for taking the default position of trying to “cover up” his activities, including potentially encouraging social media companies to censor medical information.

“I think that all of America should be appalled that America’s doctor, the leading expert on COVID in public health, doesn’t want to divulge information, doesn’t want to divulge his communications with Big Tech,” Paul urged, adding that Fauci’s “modus operandi” is to “cover up”.

A month before that, Senator Paul spoke after first ever Senate hearing on gain of function research, having revealed that there is a committee that is supposed to oversee such experimentation with potentially lethal viruses, but that it is above the oversight of Congress.

“We don’t know the names. We don’t know that they ever meet, and we don’t have any records of their meetings,” the Senator reiterated, adding “It’s top-secret. Congress is not allowed to know. So whether the committee actually exists, we’re uncertain.”

“We do know that they’ve met three times and there are thousands of gain-of-function research proposals. They’ve only met three times, they’ve only reviewed three projects,” Paul continued.

The Senator added that “When Dr. Fauci said, ‘Oh, we’ve reviewed this and the experts have looked at this, and said it’s not gain-of-function,’ even that wasn’t true. There was a committee that was formed after 2017 to look at this dangerous research. They didn’t look at this research at all because they never reviewed it. So no one reviewed this to say it wasn’t gain-of-function research. They didn’t review it, period.”

“So we learned a lot of things, but I think we reconfirmed that Dr. Fauci is not being honest with us,” Paul urged, adding “Yes, the NIH funded gain-of-function research. Yes, it was dangerous. And yes, nobody looked over this. Nobody reviewed the research. Yes, a million people died. And there still seems to be a significant lack of curiosity on the part of Democrats.”

Of course, Fauci shrugged this off as just more 'vast-right-wing-conspiracy-theory' or some-such.

But, Dr. Fauci has a problem now... Just The News' Greg Piper reports that the former Center for Disease Control and Prevention director who was cast as a conspiracy theorist for saying the evidence supported the lab-leak explanation for COVID-19 – allegedly provoking death threats – claims that the real "conspiracy is Collins, Fauci, and the established scientific community."

Robert Redfield told former Senate Finance Committee investigator Paul Thacker that National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci "knew" he funded gain-of-function research that makes viruses more dangerous, and "misled Congress" when he denied it."

Rand Paul was right after all... and it wasn't a vast right wing conspiracy? Shock horror!

"Everyone had to agree to the narrative" pushed by Fauci and then-National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins that SARS-CoV-2 emerged from a "wet market" in Wuhan, not the Fauci-funded Wuhan Institute of Virology miles away, to avoid becoming a public target of the two officials, he said.

Redfield said he believes The Lancet spring 2020 letter that lumped in the lab-leak hypothesis with "conspiracy theories" was "orchestrated ... under direction of Fauci and Collins, trying to nip any attempt to have an honest investigation of the pandemic’s origin."

"There was nothing scientific about that letter. It was just an attempt to intimidate people," he also said.

"I was threatened, my life was threatened," he said.

"I have letters I got from prominent scientists, that previously gave me awards, telling me that the best thing I could do for the world was to shoot myself because of what I said."

He believes that "Fauci and Collins were behind a lot of" the conspiracy and "anti-Asian hate" claims about the lab-leak theory

So, finally, we ask, how has Fauci been able to survive all this (politically, bureaucratically, and freedom-wise)?

Dr.Redflied has the answer - and you won't like it:

"[n]othing's going to happen as long as the Biden administration is here."

The part of science, though, remember!

Fauci need to be tried and thrown into jail permanently. Trouble is, he'd die pretty quickly from old age.

Fauci either does exactly what the Biden cabal orders or he gets indicted by Merrick Garland.

“...he’d die pretty quickly from old age.”

Agreed, but before he dies, be sure strip his family of all their wealth and make them destitute. Put them out on the street. Make them bankrupt, broke and homeless and make sure it is done before Fauci dies. Then repeat that same punishment for everybody involved. Doing this will ensure it never happens again.

I totally agree with all that.

Forget Merrick Garland. He’s a political hack who isn’t interested in justice.

Never say never. At best it might be a generational lesson.

And another man dies from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the back of the head before throwing himself in a river a half a mile away to drown with his hands tied behind his back.

Or maybe Russiacide. He falls out of a tenth story locked and sealed closed window.

Fauci is guilty enough of his own evil, demonic decisions.

I don’t buy this he’s doing what he’s told nonsense. It makes it sound like he’s the victim here who couldn’t help himself.

Many Americans know the whole story, the question is will we have trials to indict prosecute and jail. My guess is no

I'm sorry, but I'm a little confused by the timeline here. Or, at least, I missed the part where Redfield explains why he didn't come forth with this information back during the Trump administration, when he was head of the CDC.

But now we see asshats like Redfield coming out of the walls, with a "story to tell."

To be fair, Rand Paul is no better. This is just a show, people. Nobody in Washington is interested in "getting to the bottom of this," because they already know (or deeply suspect) what they'd find once they got there.

At best, the attacks on the dimwitted little reptile Fauci at this point are just paint-by-numbers Nixonian "modified limited hangout" partisan bullsh*t, an effort to isolate on a convenient scapegoat and to convince the rubes that "their side" is looking out for their best interests after all.
