Dr. Anthony Fauci funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, lied to Congress about it, and both the FBI and the Department of Energy have concluded that the coronavirus likely originated there. Now that he has been pardoned, Congress should again force Dr. Fauci to testify under oath. Evidence strongly suggests that Fauci's funding supported research leading to the creation of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 is unique among betacoronaviruses for having a furin cleavage site, a feature that enhances its ability to infect humans and spread rapidly. In 2018, Fauci-funded scientists proposed adding a furin cleavage site to a betacoronavirus at the Wuhan lab, which reportedly had inadequate biosafety standards. One year later, SARS-CoV-2 emerged in Wuhan with this exact feature. Unlike prior outbreaks such as SARS and MERS, where links between infected humans and animals were quickly established, no such evidence has surfaced for SARS-CoV-2 more than five years after it first appeared. Dr. Fauci has been a consistent advocate for gain-of-function research, funding high-risk experiments and facilitating technology transfers to questionable labs worldwide. After a 2014 U.S. pause on such research due to safety concerns, Fauci continued these experiments abroad, including at the Wuhan lab. The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that Fauci's funding and actions played a critical role in the creation of SARS-CoV-2.
