Always fireworks when Paul and Fauci face off…
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul resumed his feud with COVID doc Anthony Fauci this week during a Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic hearing on the Hill. Paul told Fauci he should “take some responsibility for funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan,” while saying “What you’ve done is change the definition on your website to try to cover your a**.”
“I don’t expect you today to admit that you approved of NIH funding for gain-of-function research in Wuhan, but your repeated denials have worn thin and a majority of Americans frankly, don’t believe you,” Paul began. “Even the NIH now admits that EcoHealth Alliance (the non-profit that collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the nearby Wuhan University Center for Animal Experiment) did perform experiments in Wuhan that created viruses not found in nature that actually did gain in lethality. The facts are clear: The NIH did fund gain-of-function research in Wuhan, despite your protestations.”
“Your persistent denials, though, are not simply a stain on your reputation, but are a clear and present danger to the country and to the world,” Paul stated.
Watch the exchange above.
