December, 2019. Here's Peter Daszak (the man whose company Fauci was funding) literally just days before the pandemic began talking about doing gain of function research on coronaviruses.
Daszak would later claim that there was no way the virus leaked from a lab. 👌🤪
@RandPaul Some might say this helps answer @mtaibbi question of who was the actual President? As we all suspected, it was Ron Klain w/ a slice of Jill Biden.
@dieter Yes, exactly. Take the load off of CMac, short pass Z receiver patterns, end arounds, motion CMac out and put Deebo in backfield. Maybe, just maybe Watkins or Cowings can contribute, stretch the field.
Americans buried parents alone. Children lost years of childhood. Families watched businesses they had built over a lifetime disappear.
And while the country suffered, Anthony Fauci was writing in his diary about becoming “the most famous and talked about person in the country” and marveling that his fame was “explosive and really unimaginable.”
There was no camera he couldn’t find. No interview he couldn’t give. No American life he wouldn’t micromanage.
He said one thing to the public, and would write the opposite in his diary.
Today, when the country finally demanded answers, the man who never stopped talking suddenly went silent.
This is what I remember so vividly (then trusting Fauci) and I think @RandPaul should focus on. Back then he was an "expert" and pretended he just learned of a study, and didn't know the authors. We then learned he commissioned the paper, via bribery (grant money) and lied straight-faced to the world. Lied because his hubris caused the damn virus that killed innocent people and crushed businesses and lives. What Chutzpah to illegally funnel $$ to create a virus that killed millions, cover it up, and then get high on being the wizard that's cleaning it all up. @POTUS screw the autopen, this man must be convicted.
@RandPaul Nail him where he said (lied) publicly that independent study - which he had NO INVOLVEMENT in the study contact w/ authors - proved zoonotic origin of Covid-19. His NIAID emails proved he was working w/ the authors and actually directing the content. Blatant lie.
@RandPaul What I'd really like is wasting zero time having other senators grandstand which will allow Fauci to provide sound bites dance around questions. Have someone like @AaronSiriSG or @SecKennedy do they questioning in addition to Rand. Or have the senators yield their time to Rand.
