Anthony Fauci denies any responsibility regarding his connections with the Wuhan lab
Dr. Anthony Fauci stood by his denial that the National Institutes of Health had funded risky gain-of-function research, despite the NIH admitting EcoHealth Alliance had violated grant rules when conducting bat coronavirus research.Unfortunately, there's no chance fraud-in-chief Biden ever will.
Fauci made the comments during an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week. Stephanopoulos first played a short clip from an Axios interview with Republican Sen. Rand Paul, who said President Joe Biden should “absolutely” fire Fauci “just for lack of judgment, if nothing else.”
Paul added of Fauci: “He's probably never going to admit that he lied. He's going to continue to dissemble and try to work around the truth and massage the truth.”No argument there. Fauci caused only so much damage that could've been avoided, along with the Chinese communists themselves. And we've long seen the results this past year.
Fauci offered a defense of EcoHealth’s collaboration with the Wuhan lab, saying, “The framework under which we have guidance about the conduct of research that we fund, the funding at the Wuhan Institute was to be able to determine what is out there in the environment, in bat viruses in China. And the research was very strictly under what we call a framework of oversight of the type of research. And under those conditions which we have explained very, very clearly, does not constitute research of gain of function of concern.”I don't expect him to change. He will go down in history though, as somebody who helped cripple the world economy instead of build it up, and was but one of the people who put this globe in a terrible situation, as though things weren't bad enough already.
Back in May, Fauci testified that it would have been “almost a dereliction of our duty” if the NIH had not worked with China to study coronaviruses as he defended NIH money going to fund “collaboration” with “very respectable Chinese scientists.”
Stephanopoulos asked if the NIH letter showed that the U.S. had been funding coronavirus research that was riskier than previously known, and Fauci denied that.
