The consolidated excerpts that most demonstrate Fauci lied about the expert consensus on the Lab Leak Hypotheis.

“It now appears using epi data and genomic data that the first infection was in early December and was not connected to the market. The infections spread among people weeks before the Chinese reported that they were dealing with a new infection… Now we know the market was not the source, it was the amplifier. Having said that, somewhere the virus jumped from animals to humans.”

"When I got back to my office, got call from Jeremy Farrar who sounded very concerned and conferenced me in with Kristian Anderson, an evolutionary biologist from Scripps… There have been conspiracy theories that the virus was given GOF by inserted mutations and deliberately or accidentally released in Wuhan... Everyone thinks that is crazy, but the Farrar phone call was different. The people on the phone felt that the mutations around the furine cleavage site of the spike protein could not have occurred naturally…”

"There was not total agreement about the likelihood of deliberate insertion. Ron Fouchier said he was sure that this could occur naturally and we should not waste our time and divert effort to pursue this. This is expected of him since he was the original GOF person with Yoshi Kawaoka. Also, Christian Drosten was with Ron; the rest [10 of 12] felt that deliberate insertion was possible and given the fact that Dr. Zheng-Li Shi at the University of Wuhan has been working for years in GOF in coronaviruses to allow adaptation of the spike protein to bind to the human ACE2 receptor we could not let this go.”
No, understanding his work does not require any of these things. Fauci has not treated a patient since residency training and he has not conducted medical research for decades. His journal entries showed no grappling with emerging evidence or data. He has not been a physician or a scientist for a very long time.
@DanczakEdward@politicalmath Yeah I'm not sure on that part. I know some docs swear that with the right dose and time it worked. Lots of meta-analyses showing little to no benefit. I haven't looked into it enough. I think the past week teaches us not to take gov funded studies at face value though.
@stkirsch I can truly imagine that if a parent is willing not to vaccinate, they will also have done research on eating healthily and presto, 0 diabetes.
One of Ayn Rand's very best observations, which has aged like fine wine:
"Socialism is not a movement of the people. It is a movement of the intellectuals, originated, led and controlled by the intellectuals, carried by them out of their stuffy ivory towers into those bloody fields of practice where they unite with their allies and executors: the thugs."
The stunning thing about this pile-on re: Fauci by a handful of GOP senators is the total lack of interest by these supposedly outraged senators at the person who had the power at the time. Fauci gave recommendations. Trump’s the one who had all the power. Their lack of interest in Trump’s role is an obvious tell. This is manufactured nonsense.
CDC's Rochelle Walensky wanted to tell the truth on August 6, 2022, but the White House stopped it. For his part, Fauci just wanted to sell product, even if it was useless at best and probably dangerous.
Really unbelievable!
Willy Burgdorfer, Lyme discoverer and NIH tick expert, tried to infect ticks with rabies as part of the US tick weaponization program in 1957. Fortunately, it didn’t work. Ticks are escape artists and rabies is nearly 100% fatal. Read more here: "The Behavior of Rabies Virus in Ticks." The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 100(3), 278–283.
