Senator Rand Paul has been dogged in his efforts to hold Fauci accountable for his unimaginable list of mistakes.
He claimed, inaccurately, that masks work to stop the spread of COVID. He advocated for school closures, afterwards denying he did any such thing.
His misinformation on the efficacy of COVID vaccines helped usher in the spread of vaccine mandates and passports. Inexcusably, he's managed to avoid acknowledgment of mistakes or admitting that he was wrong about many of these disastrous assertions.
But one of the most contentious aspects of Fauci's tenure revolves around the origins of COVID. And as more information emerges, it's becoming increasingly clear just how determined he was to protect himself and his colleagues by deflecting from his organization's role in funding gain-of-function research.
The release of new, unredacted emails has certainly shown that he was well aware that gain-of-function experiments were happening in Wuhan. That directly contradicts his previous claims that NIH had no involvement in funding such experiments.
In May 2021, for example, Fauci claimed in a heated exchange with Paul that the NIH had never funded gain-of-function research.
"With all due respect, you are entirely and completely incorrect,” Fauci said. The NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology."
Yet emails now prove that Fauci acknowledged privately that he was aware of gain-of-function research funding heading to Wuhan, in direct contradiction to his statements before congress.
And as a result, Senator Rand Paul referred him to Attorney General Merrick Garland to prosecute him for potentially lying under oath.
