There are so many more questions to put to Fauci. Here are a few.
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) got another chance to grill the nation’s most highly paid bureaucrat, Anthony Fauci, today on Capitol Hill.
While the pair got locked up over the definition of gain-of-function, there were a number of other questions or points Paul could have put to Fauci, as follows.
During today’s exchange Senator Rand Paul said: “You continue to support NIH money going to Wuhan.” Fauci falsely quoted him back as saying: “You said we continue to support research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”
While it’s a distinction with a slight difference because of third-party groups, organizations, and affiliates – like EcoHealth Alliance for example – who have historically openly worked with the Wuhan lab and Chinese Communist Party authorities in the region, Senator Paul could have been more precise because Fauci is oleaginous.
He’s slippery, and today he came extra-prepared with his circumlocution.
Senator Paul should’ve asked Fauci why 21 American scientists who have received taxpayer funds from 637 grants by Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) have also served as visiting lecturers and researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
He should’ve asked why despite Fauci’s claims that the grant process was tightly run, his disgraced boss Francis Collins admitted “we had no control over what else they were doing with those funds.”
He should’ve asked why a number of National Institutes of Health agencies – including Fauci’s own NIAID – have funded over 250 studies authored by researchers at institutions controlled by China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA).
He should’ve asked why there have been at least 13 grants sent to the Chinese Communist Party since the outbreak of the pandemic and to Senator Paul’s own point, Southern Medical University – which is controlled by the regime’s People’s Liberation Army and has close ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology – received two additional grants worth nearly $300,000 from Fauci.
