Did Fauci Slip While Under Oath?
This week, former NIAID director Anthony Fauci endured a two-day grilling under oath by members of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.
It was the first time Fauci faced lawmakers since he stepped down from government duties in December 2022.
On the one hand, there was excitement that Fauci would be compelled to answer questions about policy decisions he made that irrevocably changed millions of lives.
On the other hand, Democrats were accusing Republican committee members of “politicizing the greatest public health crisis of our time for their own partisan gain.”
Ohio Republican Brad Wenstrup, a physician and Chair of the subcommittee, said he wanted to press Fauci on questions about the origins of SARS-CoV-2 and how to manage future pandemics.
Wenstrup’s committee had been investigating Fauci and other government officials over whether they actively suppressed information about a possible ‘lab leak’ and if they conspired to push the alternate theory that SARS-CoV-2 had a natural origin.
“The change was made when grant reports made it unambiguous that Fauci funded research to make coronaviruses more dangerous in Wuhan, including research that increased the viral load by 10,000 times,” added Kopp.
Notably, Richard H Ebright, Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers University, pointed out that NIAID had never published the correct definition on its website.
Ebright called out the deception, saying Fauci was “knowingly, wilfully, and brazenly untruthful.”
He published the correct, authoritative definition of GoF research and wrote that Fauci had “repeatedly and flagrantly violated” US-government policies at the time by funding the dangerous research.
Fauci has often displayed a tenuous relationship with the truth – regularly flip-flopping on health policies – prompting Senator Rand Paul to accuse Fauci of blatant duplicity.
This week, Senator Paul told Fox News, “The one thing that is consistent about Anthony Fauci is that what he says in private is largely true – what he says in public, is largely a lie.”
