Fauci funded gain of function research on bat Covid

@Metal-Brain
Carrying on your trolling conspiracy BULLSHYTE.

I think you are vastly disappointed that 'only' a half million died.
You would only be happy if ten MILLION died in the US alone.

That and your fervent wish to have been in the capitol building on Jan 6 looking to hang Pence and kill Pelosi.

Senator Rand Paul (R., Ky.) excoriated Dr. Anthony Fauci during a Tuesday hearing for continuing to defend gain-of-function research on deadly viruses despite the possibility that the novel coronavirus leaked from a laboratory that was performing such research in Wuhan, China.

Paul asked Dr. Fauci if he still supports National Institutes of Health funding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where scientists performed gain-of-function research—i.e. making viruses more infectious and/or deadly—on bat coronaviruses. The EcoHealth Alliance diverted $600,000 in grants from the NIH to the WIV in the form of sub-grants from 2014 through 2019, for the purpose of studying bat coronaviruses.


“For years, Dr. Ralph Baric, a virologist in the U.S., has been collaborating with Dr. Shi Zhengli from the Wuhan Virology Institute, sharing his discoveries about how to create superviruses,” Paul said. “This gain-of-function research has been funded by the NIH. … Dr. Fauci, do you still support funding of the NIH lab in Wuhan?”

“Senator Paul, with all due respect, you are entirely and completely incorrect,” Dr. Fauci said. “[The] NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”


The U.S. government has assessed that the WIV was conducting gain-of-function research in some form, reporter Josh Rogin noted in Politico in March. Jamie Metzl, an expert on gene editing for the World Health Organization, has also noted that the WIV performed gain-of-function research.

When Paul asked if Dr. Fauci still backed funding from NIH going to the WIV in previous years, Dr. Fauci responded that it would have been “irresponsible” not to investigate bat viruses in China after the advent of SARS in 2002."

I would venture at this point to say that Fauci is full of bullblubber.
And I understand one of the institutes that Fauci supports is doing the investigating??

Conflict of interest much??? What a phony

Yeah, we have a solemn duty to equal the deaths in the US of 100 years ago..... only 70,000 to go.

Are you an apologist for Fauci's lying?
If you think lying to people repeatedly is good policy just say so.
Be honest, you think lying is necessary to get people to do the right thing. Right? You think telling the truth is wrong because the truth will not get results. Admit it.

Well, Fauci tells the truth for a change.

When I suggested that I was called a conspiracy theorist. Now Fauci is the conspiracy theorist. LOL! Interesting how things change after time.

Still says never funded gain of function research after saying if it did happen it happened in North Carolina. LOL!

What conspiracy theory? What about that NC lab? Inquiring minds want to know.

Really? Why is it okay now but not then? Your fact checker gods were WRONG!

How can one person be SO gullible?

Really?
Are you going to call Fauci gullible now?

You were WRONG!

You said, "I have never defended Fauci. Just the opposite."

As if he were talking to you. He wasn't. But you answered him.

That is why he replied to you.

Comprehension is not your strong point, is it?

Oh, wait, after seeing you defend the most outlandish theories on the planet, we knew that.

Still an outlandish theory? Your hero Fauci disagrees with you now that he embarrassed himself giving Rand Paul more lies.

You were duped by fake fact checkers. Call them what they are, opinion pieces.
