During a recent interview on WABC 770 AM’s The Cats Roundtable, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul blasted old foe Dr. Anthony Fauci for his dishonesty regarding COVID-19; “History should judge him as a deficient person who made one of the worst decisions in public health history — in the entire history of the world,” Paul said.
“For his dishonesty, frankly, he should go to prison,” Paul told WABC host John Catsimatidis. “Do you think the scientific knowledge that was gained from this research was worth the deaths of 20 million people?”
From The New York Post:
The Government Accountability Office issued a report in June 2023 that found the National Institutes of Health (NIH) had contributed more than $1.4 million to Chinese research institutions between 2014 and 2019 despite serious biosafety concerns, including at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Fauci previously denied in testimony to Congress that the NIH had funded risky gain-of-function research at the lab in Wuhan, the area where the pandemic began in late 2019.
Paul said he was startled that Democrats still treat the nation’s former infectious disease chief as a medical messiah and protect him as a “symbol of big government.”
“He’s never been held responsible,” the senator said.
Fauci, the top pandemic medical adviser to two presidents, testified privately last week before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Fauci testified before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic last week —but seemed to have a foggy memory of a lot of the details of his work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A guy that’s smart enough to think that he can shut down the schools, shut down the economy, force everybody to get vaccinated, including children, including people who have already had COVID, including the military – we had mandates everywhere, and he was all for them – yet he can’t recall how the decision-making went or what the science is to support this,” Paul said Sunday.
He poked Fauci for saying he approved all the research at the Wuhan lab but didn’t read it.
“It looked like the virus came from the lab. But the lab only was able to function because the US-funded it and Anthony Fauci approved of it,” Paul said.
“This is probably the worst decision ever made by a public health official in the history of time.”
