Wuhan Research Documents Prove That Dr. Fauci Is A LIAR

Several newly released documents reveal the depth of U.S. funding of coronavirus research in Wuhan, China. Senator Rand Paul claims the documents show that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) head Dr. Anthony Fauci lied during his testimony to Congress.

Fauci has been unwavering in denying that the National Institutes of Health-funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Paul called Fauci out in a tweet Tuesday saying that the NIAID director had “lied again.”

“And I was right about his agency funding novel Coronavirus research at Wuhan,” Paul said.

The Intercept reported that the U.S. government gave $3.1 million to American health organization EcoHealth Alliance to fund bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV)

The report showed nearly $600,000 of that federal money was used in part by the WIV to find and alter bat coronavirus that could spread to humans and infect them.

The documents also showed that experimental research on genetically engineered mice with human cell receptors was conducted at the Wuhan University Center for Animal Experiment, and not the WIV as previously believed.

“The documents make it clear that assertions by the NIH Director, Francis Collins, and the NIAID Director, Anthony Fauci, that the NIH did not support gain-of-function research or potential pandemic pathogen enhancement at WIV are untruthful,” Rutgers University chemical biology professor Richard Ebright wrote in a Twitter on Tuesday.

Neither Dr. Paul nor Dr. Fauci has held back when it comes to challenging the other.

During a July hearing on the COVID-19 variant, Paul accused Fauci of “lying” about gain-of-function research.

“I have never lied before the Congress, and I do not retract that statement,” Fauci said. Adding that the research Paul referenced was “judged by qualified staff up and down the chain as not being gain of function.”

“You do not know what you are talking about quite frankly and I want to say that officially,” Fauci said

Paul responded by saying that the NIH’s judgment “defines away” work that was gain-of-function research.

“You’re dancing around this because you’re trying to obscure responsibility,” Paul added.
