But if you're reading this column you probably already know that. What's even worse though, is that but not for Fauci's lies and flip-flops, people might have lived who ultimately died. Americas were given confusing and contradictory information on the Wuhan virus by this arrogant bureaucrat who, as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been wrong more often than right throughout his career.
Moreover, Fauci more than likely had been working hand in hand with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the lab where many now believe the Coved virus was developed, leaked out, and eventually engulfed the world.
Recently thousands of e-mails have been obtained by Buzzfeed News and hundreds more surfaced through Freedom of Information Act and reviewed by The Washington Post showing Fauci's responses to his critics during the past year of hell that we've all been going through.
Earlier this week Sen. Rand Paul shared two words in response to news of the unearthed emails from Dr. Anthony Fauci. "Told you" he tweeted. He then added the hashtag #firefauci.
Senator Paul, remember, is also a physician and has been foremost in criticizing Fauci for his mask mandates, herd immunity views, and his denial of a theory suggesting Covid-19 may have emanated from the Wuhan Institute.
When President Trump, Sen. Tom Cotton, and others first suggested that the virus originated in the Chinese lab they were accused of being xenophobic, racist, and engaging in a "conspiracy theory." But more information has come to light, and now even many on the left are suddenly agreeing with those of us who realized the truth well over a year ago.
Sen. Paul has also disputed Fauci's claim made during a May 25 congressional hearing that a $600,000 federal grant from NIAID did not directly fund the lab's gain of function research, which is research that involves modifying a virus to make it more infectious among humans. In the hearing Fauci parsed his words and danced around the facts while attempting to save his own reputation.
It seems that a "middle man" organization was probably used to get the money into the hands of the Wuhan Institute.
The $600,000 grant went to a group called EcoHealth Alliance, which then paid the Wuhan Institute of Virology to study the risk that bat coronaviruses could infect humans. Francis Collins, the director of NIH, said earlier in the hearing that the taxpayer-funded grant to EcoHealth and the Wuhan Institute of Virology was not approved to conduct gain of function research.
Sen. Paul and many others maintain that NIAID money under Fauci's purview DID in fact go to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to conduct gain of function research, which raises ethical, safety and security concerns, according to many politicians and scientists.
At last Fauci acknowledged that a gain of function super virus could escape a lab and cause a pandemic, but that it is worth the risk. "His na•vet should disqualify him from government service," Paul wrote in a May 28 tweet responding to Fauci's comments during the House Appropriations Committee subcommittee hearing.
Keep probing Sen. Paul. As more and more documents become available and new information leaks out, Dr. Anthony Fauci may soon find himself joining the ranks of the many millions of Americans who have lost their jobs thanks to his blunders and bad judgements. His job loss would be a net gain to this country.
