Disgraced National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci perhaps believe he is protected from scrutiny after receiving a last-minute preemptive political reprimand from President Joe Biden on Monday, but he’s no.
On the contrary, the Covid-19 doomsdayer’s willingness to accept more than a decade’s fair of exemption from federal trials that have n’t happened still serves as a Supreme Court-confirmed admission of guilt that requires extensive examination.
Fauci claims he’s “done nothing improper ” and “certainly little legal. ” Yet the evidence enormous indicates Fauci played a big part in funding the Wuhan lab where the fatal disease originated and also worked overtime to undermine information about the popular leak that killed millions of people worldwide.
Biden’s reprimand for Facui somewhat extends up to Jan. 1, 2014. It was around that exact moment that NIAID’s family agency, the National Institutes of Health , claimed it ceased funding for the gain-of-function research ( GOF ) “involving influenza, SARS, and MERS viruses. ” Regression involves extracting viruses from the wild and executive them to harm humans to research possible therapeutics. Only three years later, GOF was ready for taxpayer funding afterwards.
Fauci not merely supported GOF analysis of adenoviruses like Covid-19, but he also devoted taxpayer money to it — especially in the form of a$ 600,000 five-year annual offer through the EcoHealth Alliance for work at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Then he lied about the research’s existence to Congress.
As early as February 2020, Fauci knew the signs of Covid-19’s creation and origin pointed to the Wuhan lab. He also knew from a 2020 Federalist article that masking was ineffective, flip-flopped on the importance of in-person schooling , nuked the herd immunity strategies in favor of deadly lockdowns, and pushed for a forced jab proven not to prevent infection.
Instead of informing Americans of these facts, Fauci colluded with federal government players like the CIA, the Department of State, and the Biden White House to downplay the truth about the virus. He also turned a blind eye when corporate media and Big Tech censors used their power in the public square to defame and deplatform those who dissented from the regime’s Covid response.
Fauci opted for ineffective and even harmful Covid-19 policies that made him and his agency millions. Shortly before the pandemic he became the highest-paid federal employee.
Biden’s pardon of Fauci may look like an obstacle to the justice he deserves, but it ’s actually a gift in the form of an admission.
For one, Biden’s pardon does not protect Fauci from a reckoning in the form of state prosecutions. Nor does it prevent Congress from compelling Fauci to explain in detail his role in one of the biggest scandals in U. S. history.
Sen. Rand Paul, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, already vowed on Monday to continue Congress’s pursuit to “pierce the veil of deception. ”
“If there was ever any doubt as to who bears responsibility for the COVID pandemic, Biden’s pardon of Fauci forever seals the deal, ” he wrote on X.
This time, however, Fauci must be forced under penalty of perjury and contempt into testifying without any of the lies, games, and run-arounds he used to dodge key questions in previous investigative hearings.
Nearly five years after unelected bureaucrats like Fauci weaponized Covid-19 for their own gain, Americans deserve to hear the full story from the lips of the liar who helped write it. Not even Biden’s anticipatory attempt to shield his political allies from prosecution can prevent that.
