Anthony Fauci accused of perjury: Former White House doctor 'LIED under oath about funding gain-of-function research in China - which is feared to have started Covid pandemic', Rand Paul claims
Daily Mail ^ | July 18 | By CAITLIN TILLEY

Dr Anthony Fauci was tonight accused of lying under oath over his knowledge of dangerous virus research in China — which is feared to have caused the pandemic.

DailyMail.com can reveal Senator Rand Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, wrote to Attorney General Merrick Garland last week calling for an investigation into whether Dr Fauci, 82, committed perjury when he testified in front of a Senate committee in 2021.

In a showdown with Republicans, including Sen Paul, in July that year, Dr Fauci testified that his former ‘has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.'

Dr Fauci was the former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) until the end of 2022 and was responsible for signing off on research grants.

Yet newly released emails dated February 1, 2020 show Fauci acknowledged that 'scientists in Wuhan University are known to have been working on gain-of-function experiments to determine that molecular mechanisms associated with bat viruses adapting to human infection, and the outbreak originated in Wuhan.'

Perjury is a federal offense that carries up to five years in prison. While the emails show that Fauci was aware of gain-of-function going on in the lab, he never admitted that the NIH funded it.

But the Government Accountability Office (GAO) determined last month that the Wuhan Institute of Virology and Wuhan University did receive NIH funding, Sen Paul said in his letter to AG Garland.

Fauci is guilty of a lot, along with MANY others. But he and they should be tried under U.S. law, not the fake, Leftist, U.N. crap-court of the Hague.

I believe in the rule of law, but I don't make a fetish of it. There is no need of a trial -- anywhere -- for Fauci. He should taken out and hanged. And he would be only the first of several.

Taking a virus known to infect humans and exchanging its spike protein with a spike protein from a bat virus is not, in fact, “gain-of-function” research. It is research intended to determine if the bat virus can attach to human cells without actually using the bat virus. If a bat virus can attach to human cells, it might be able to cause an infection in humans. If it cannot attach, then it cannot cause infection.

I notice that most of those who are yelling about “gain-of-function” actually have no idea how molecular biology research is done, nor do they have a clue what “gain-of-function” actually is.

Ever see those green, yellow, pink, etc., zebrafish at a pet store? Those fish have been subjected to gain-of-function genetic alteration. They don’t naturally come in all of those colors, but someone inserted genes that cause them to produce color pigments they don’t naturally make.

Exchanging homologous proteins from one species to another is a common research technique.

Dude, you’re going to be asleep for a long time.

We need to fundraise so we can get you some MyPillow pillows, bed sheets and mattress topper.

You might as well be comfortable. :)

[So Fauci is guilty of genocide?]

Who knows what their original intent was? Bioweapon for War? Population Reduction? Killing off older people? (see Population Reduction)

But given that most of them are Population-Reduction Globalists, well..........

Fraud vitiates everything, starting with the Emergency Use Authorization which makes the pharmaceutical korporations liable for every death and injury from their Jim Jones Jab.

When I'm talking about "gain-of-function" it means Fauci and co. DELIBERATELY did so to weaponize it. For exactly what purpose, well that's debatable.

So theoretically mad scientists can make humans in a rainbow of colors.

Fauci and his colleagues will spend eternity in hell. That is worse than anything we could do to them.

Deliberately carried out by those who aimed to fix an election.
Covid>>mail in voting>>ballot and computer tampering>>illegal election
I would like to know how many congressional members were buying Pfizer shares while the rest of us didn’t know what was making our patients die in September of 2019.
AND as long as there is mail in voting and machine voting, our votes will be manipulated. The old way of voting must be resurrected immediately.

Nah. He will slink out of it like Wray did. “At the time I said that (lied) I had different facts.”

Obama defunded hyperviralization in the US in 2014. Now we know the rest of the story.. and McCarthy keeps sending china money via big Pharma money laundering. Fauci redefined obamas work as gain of function. Which may be technically different but functionally identical outcomes. The. We have trumps EUAs which is restricted to a single set of circumstances. So it’s either justified or an abuse of power. Trumps silence on this matter and tuckers refusal to ask anything hard leaves us to just consider trumps record of covid tyranny. This tyranny opened the door to his Disney groomer blessings.
It was never about consenting adults and now they sterilize children without parent’s authority.
