Fauci says US ‘fell very short’ on Covid-19 pandemic responseDr. Anthony Fauci, former Director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, sat down with CNN Wednesday to speak about the United States’ shortcomings with the Covid-19 pandemic. Dr. Fauci says the U.S. fell short when it came to public health communication and retrieving Covid-19 data in real-time.

Dr. Anthony Fauci said he "did not recall" important information or conversations more than 100 times during his first day of a two-day transcribed interview with the House Coronavirus Select Subcommittee, but he also revealed major failures in the U.S. health system, Chairman Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, said.
"Dr. Fauci's testimony today uncovered drastic and systemic failures in America’s public health systems," Wenstrup said Monday after Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, met with the subcommittee earlier that day.
"While leading the nation’s COVID-19 response and influencing public narratives, he simultaneously had no idea what was happening under his own jurisdiction at NIAID," Wenstrup also said, using the acronym of the federal agency where Fauci served as director for nearly four decades.
"It is also concerning that the face of our nation’s response to the world’s worst public health crisis 'does not recall' key details about COVID-19 origins and pandemic-era policies," Wenstrup added. He also said Fauci "claimed he 'did not recall' pertinent COVID-19 information or conversations more than 100 times."
The subcommittee chairman said he plans on asking the retired director more questions about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and his positions on lockdowns on Tuesday, when Fauci is scheduled to meet with the subcommittee again for a total of 14 hours of transcribed testimony.
 

Trying To ‘Cover Your A**’: Rand Paul Charges Fauci With Attempting To Change Definition Of Gain-Of-Function Research​

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul confronted Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former chief White House medical adviser and former director of NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), saying 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.”

In September 2021, The Intercept reported evidence showing that the EcoHealth Alliance, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and the nearby Wuhan University Center for Animal Experiment had engaged in gain-of-function research “intentionally making viruses more pathogenic or transmissible in order to study them … grant money for the controversial experiment came from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is headed by Anthony Fauci.”
“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.
Later in the confrontation, Paul asked, “Will you today, finally take some responsibility for funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan?”
“Senator, with all due respect, I disagree with so many of the things that you said. First of all, gain-of-function is a very nebulous term; we have spent, not us, but outside bodies, a considerable amount of effort to give a more precise definition to the type of research that is of concern that might lead to a dangerous situation. You are aware of that; that is called P3CO,” Fauci answered.
“We’re aware that you deleted gain-of-function from the NIH website,” Paul interjected.
“Well, I can get back to that in a moment if we have time, but let’s get back to the operating framework and guiderails of which we operate under,” Fauci deflected. “And you have ignored them. the guidelines are very, very clear: that you have to be dealing with a pathogen that clearly is shown and very likely to be highly transmissible in an uncontrollable way in humans and to have a high degree of morbidity and mortality and that you do experiments to enhance that, hence the word EPPP: enhanced pathogens potential pandemic.”
Paul pointed out that EcoHealth Alliance took a virus and combined it with WIV-1 to cause a “recombinant virus that doesn’t exist in nature,” adding, “and it made mice sicker — mice that had humanized cells — you’re saying that’s not gain-of-function research?”
“According to the framework and guidelines —” Fauci responded.
“So what you’re doing is defining away gain-of-function; you’re simply saying it doesn’t exist cause you changed the definition on the NIH website,” Paul accused. “This is terrible, and you’re completely trying to escape the idea that we should do something about trying to prevent a pandemic from leaking from a lab. The preponderance of evidence now points toward this coming from a lab, and what you’ve done is change the definition on your website to try to cover your a** basically. That’s what you’ve done; you’ve changed the website to have a new definition that doesn’t include the risky research that’s going on. Until you admit that it’s risky, we’re not gonna get anywhere. You have to admit that this research was risky. The NIH has now rebuked them. Your own agency has rebuked them. But the thing is you’re still unwilling to admit that they gained in function when they say that became sicker; they gained in lethality. It’s a new virus. That’s not gain-of-function?”
“According to the definition that’s currently operable … the current definition was done over a two to three-year period by outside bodies, including the NSABB, two conferences by the National Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine on December 2014, March 2016. We commissioned external risk-benefit assessment, and then on January of 2017, the Office of Science and Technology Policy of the White House issued the current policy,” Fauci said.
Paul then pointed out: “And coincidentally, the definition appeared on the same day that the NIH said that yes, there was a gain-of-function in Wuhan; the same day the definition appeared; the new definition to try to define away what’s going on in Wuhan. Until you accept it, we’re not going to get responsibility; we’re not going to get anywhere close to trying to prevent another lab leak of this dangerous sort of experiment.”
 

Rand Paul says Fauci should ‘go to prison’ over COVID-19 ‘dishonesty’​

Rand Paul says Fauci should ‘go to prison’ over COVID-19 ‘dishonesty’

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said that the former U.S. chief medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci, should “go to prison” over his “dishonesty” in handling the COVID-19 pandemic and lying to Congress.

“For his dishonesty, frankly, he should go to prison,” Paul said during a Sunday interview with radio host John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM. “If you lie to Congress, and you’re dishonest, and you won’t accept responsibility. For his mistake in judgment, he should just be pilloried. He should never be accepted.”
He added, “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.”
The Kentucky Republican, who believes the virus came from a lab in China, accused Fauci of directly contributing to the deaths of “somewhere between 10 and 20 million” with his decision to “fund dangerous research — gain-of-function research, where you allow viruses to be combined.”
Paul and Fauci, who led much of the U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic, have a fiery history, with the Kentucky Republican repeatedly accusing the infectious disease expert of lying about the origins of the virus.
Paul’s Sunday comments echo similar ones he made last year when he said that the former White House chief medical adviser should “without question” be in jail.
Fauci, who became the target of intense scrutiny as the COVID-19 pandemic became politicized, previously shut down calls to prosecute him over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“There’s no response to that craziness,” Fauci said on CNN in March.
He added, “I mean, prosecute me for what? What are they talking about? I mean, I wish I could figure out what the heck they were talking about. I think they’re just going off the deep end,” Fauci said.
He also slammed the calls to jail him as “irresponsible.”
“It doesn’t make any sense to say something like that, and it actually is irresponsible,” he said.

New documents show that Dr. Anthony Fauci's top U.S. health aide intentionally tried to hide his discussions about the origins of COIVD-19 by using his personal email.
Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, claimed a whistleblower provided him new bombshell materials obtained by DailyMail.com.
The unnamed whistleblower revealed emails showing that Dr. David Morens - Fauci's top aide at the National Institutes of Health - allegedly used his personal Gmail account to discuss the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 to skirt federal transparency laws.

At the time, Morens' official government work email would have been subject to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests that could have publicized his day-to-day communications.
Wenstrup says that Morens used Gmail to 'intentionally [subvert] federal transparency laws to shield discussions related to the origins of COVID-19.'

The whistleblower-provided emails show Morens using an '@gmail.com' account to correspond with Dr. Peter Daszak, head of EcoHealth Alliance, a research nonprofit, apparently regarding a government research grant.
Republicans previously revealed that EcoHealth and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, in partnership with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), submitted a proposal to federal officials seeking funding to create a novel coronavirus in 2018.
And Wenstrup has accused EcoHealth of using taxpayer dollars 'to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.'
'These emails raise serious concerns about federal health officials potentially covering up the pandemic’s origin,' Wenstrup stated Thursday.
The subject line of one of the messages between Morens' personal email and EcoHealth's Daszak includes a reference to a National Institute of Health (NIH) grant proposal that provided $661,980 for a 2019 project titled 'Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence.'
Another subject line from his personal email reads 'COVID-19 update (312): China, SARS-CoV2 origin, animal reservoir, WHO mission,' indicating the two were discussing the origins of the disease.
A third email from Morens had a subject line that referenced 'our suspended R01,' possibly indicating that funding for the bat coronavirus research project was stopped at some point.
However, during his transcribed interview with the Select Subcommittee in January, Morens 'denied deleting any federal COVID-19 origins records,' according to the lawmaker.
Morens also admitted previously to the committee in a closed interview that 'I will delete anything I don’t want to see in the New York Times.'
'I always try to communicate over gmail because my NIH email is FOIA’d constantly,' Morens told the committee at the time.
Morens' admission that he intentionally hides his communications prompted Wenstrup to send a letter to Boston University Professor Dr. Gerald Keusch, who was mentioned in the emails.
Wenstrup is requesting the production of any documents and communication related to Keusch's correspondence with Dr. Morens, the committee stated.
That includes any emails with 'other individuals and entities with knowledge of and access to COVID-19 origins material.'
'This letter continues our investigation into the potential cover-up of COVID-19 origins information by America’s public health authorities,' Wenstrup writes.
The Republican requested Keusch turn over his communications with a number of federal officials by April 25.

Earlier this week, Sen. Rand Paul announced that at least 15 government agencies, including NIAID and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), had information regarding the Wuhan Institute of Virology's proposal.
And despite these officials knowing that EcoHealth, the Wuhan Institute and NIAID wanted to create a disease similar COVID-19, they did not reveal to the public the labs intentions.
Further muddying the waters are allegations from Paul that Fauci could have been involved in influencing decisions made surrounding the origins of COVID-19, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still says likely came from bats and not a Chinese lab.
'We also have stories, rumors and innuendo that Fauci was a frequent visitor off the books to the CIA.'
Paul says Fauci's secretive trips are important because 'the CIA officially still says [COVID-19 is] probably from animals.'
Paul pointed to how the CIA disagrees with findings from the Department of Energy and FBI that have said the the pandemic likely originated from a leak at a Wuhan, China, lab.
And that though an initial CIA assessment found the lab leak theory was likely, senior officials in the agency overruled their findings.

That means, according to Paul, Fauci almost certainly knew about the Chinese labs' desire to create a novel coronavirus, as NIAID was a partner on the proposal.
'So in January and February of 2020, instead of Anthony Fauci piping up and saying 'Oh, wow, they briefed us on this. It looks like they ended up doing what they briefed us on' instead of saying that, he commissioned people to say the opposite,' Paul told DailyMail.com.
'It makes me think there's really something there that they're hiding.'
Dr. Peter Daszak, meanwhile, is set to testify publicly before the House on May 1.
EcoHealth and Dr. Morens did not return a request for comment.
 

Why did Tony Fauci say under oath he barely knew top coronavirus scientist Ralph Baric - when in fact Fauci hosted a daylong 2013 meeting where Baric laid out his plans for risky research?​

Peter Daszak - another scientist connected to China whom Fauci claimed under oath not to remember - was also at the 2013 meeting. Poor Tony, stuck with such a severe case of the "I don't recalls."​

(PART 1)
The evidence has been hiding in plain sight for years.
On June 24, 2013, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci invited a small group of top coronavirus researchers to an all-day brainstorming session at a conference center at the National Institutes of Health.
The subject was nominally an outbreak of a new illness called MERS, or Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome, a lung disease caused by a novel coronavirus. At the time, about 70 people had contracted the virus. Almost 40 had died, an eye-popping fatality rate, making MERS more lethal than smallpox.
Despite its lethality, MERS appeared to be a minor health threat, because it did not spread rapidly or easily. So the scientists - and one scientist in particular, Dr. Ralph S. Baric, the world’s top expert on coronaviruses - spent the day talking about threats from not just MERS and its potential evolution, but novel coronaviruses generally.
Fortunately, the NIH has preserved a complete video record of the conference, which lasted almost six hours (not including a lunch break). It is available here.
And, on many different levels, from beginning to end, it is astonishing.

The video directly refutes Fauci’s denial under oath of knowing Baric and Peter Daszak, the British zoologist who along with Baric was a key link between the American government and the Chinese virologists in Wuhan whose work likely caused the SARS-Cov-2 epidemic.
In a deposition in 2022, Fauci said of Baric, a North Carolina microbiologist who has studied coronaviruses for decades, “I doubt if I've ever met him.” He characterized Daszak as not even an “acquaintance.”
Yet Daszak and other officials in his group EcoHealth Alliance are present at the meeting, which Fauci opened with a speech. Nine months later, Fauci would again cross paths with Daszak, when Fauci spoke on a panel in Washington about emerging infectious diseases, part of a two-day conference that Daszak had moderated and helped create.
But as the world’s preeminent coronavirus researcher, Baric was even more important to Fauci. As he opened the June 2013 meeting, Fauci spoke openly of wanting to be sure he constantly had new viral threats that would ensure his research budget would continue to grow.
Nothing more perfectly illustrated the potential threat of emerging infectious disease than the coronavirus - a seemingly minor pathogen that suddenly had erupted into a lethal outbreak, the second in a decade.
“Now we have a new one [disease] to put on the map for our friends [in Congress] who support us in these rather constrained times,” Fauci said in his opening address. He wasn’t joking or speaking metaphorically - he showed the scientists the actual map.



SOURCE

After his talk, Fauci took a seat alone in the front row to listen to the conference’s first invited speaker explain the growing threat of coronaviruses and how scientists and the NIH could work to fight them.
That speaker?
None other than Baric, who went on to dominate the day’s discussion. Not only did he give the first presentation, he returned after lunch to give another. He took over questioning repeatedly. One of the other scientists referred to him as an “eminence grise.” Another joked the NIH would be cutting Baric a check for a million dollars, no strings attached.
No wonder that seven years later, in February 2020, as Covid exploded out of China, Fauci would spend his extremely valuable time bring Baric into his offices for another private meeting to discuss the new epidemic - and its possible origins. Under oath, Fauci claimed not to remember anything about that meeting either, though it had taken place barely two years before.

(From page 32 of Dr. Anthony S. Fauci’s deposition in Missouri v Biden, given under oath on Nov. 23, 2022.)


SOURCE

So just why would Fauci go so far out of his way to deny knowing Baric? Why make such an implausible claim?
The rest of the video from June 24, 2013 offers as good an explanation as any, showing just how far Baric was willing go in trying to bring coronaviruses to heel - even if doing so raised the risk of a lab-created epidemic far deadlier than one that any natural coronavirus had ever caused.
