Rand Paul Blasted At Fauci! “It’s Time That You RESIGN!”

“You’ve changed a definition on your website to cover your ass, basically,” Paul said.

Things become interesting in a Senate hearing this Thursday with Sen. Rand Paul. Again, he opposed Dr. Anthony Fauci and accused him of attempting “to cover your ass” and play games over the denials about whether NIH-funded shady gain-of-function research collaborating with the WIV.

Gain-Of-Function research represents “a form of genetic manipulation on micro-organisms.” There were many speculations that this research created the C-19 pandemic and that Fauci’s NIH has funded research of this magnitude in China.

“What we are saying is that this was a risky type of research — gain-of-function research — it was risky to share this with the Chinese and that Covid may have been created from a not yet revealed virus,” Paul said to Fauci.
“We don’t anticipate that the Chinese are going to reveal the virus if Covid came from their lab. You know that, and yet you continue to mislead. You continue to support NIH funding going to Wuhan. You continue to say you trust the Chinese scientists. You appear to have learned nothing from this pandemic.”

“Will you today finally take some responsibility for funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan?” Paul asked.

“Senator, with all due respect, I disagree with so many of the things that you’ve said,” Fauci answered. “First of all, a gain of function is a very nebulous term. We have spent — not us, but outside bodies — a considerable amount of effort to give a more precise definition to the type of research that is of concern that might lead to a dangerous situation. You are aware of that. That is called P3CO.” He was referring to the Potential Pandemic Pathogen Care and Oversight guidelines.”

Paul didn’t believe anything and told Fauci: “[W]e are aware that you deleted ‘gain of function’ from the NIH website.”

“Let’s get back to the operating framework and guardrails which we operate under. And you have ignored them,” Fauci replied immediately. “The guidelines are very very clear that you have to be dealing with a pathogen that clearly is shown, and very likely to be highly transmissible and uncontrollable in humans, and to have a high degree of morbidity and mortality, and that you do experiments to enhance that, hence the word ePPP — enhanced potential pandemic pathogen.”

“So, when EcoHealth Alliance took the virus SHC014 and combined it with WIV1 and caused a recombinant virus that doesn’t exist in nature and it made mice sicker — mice that had humanized cells — you’re saying that that’s not gain-of-function research?” Paul asked again.

“According to the framework and guidelines —” Fauci tried to respond, but Paul interrupted him. He couldn’t hear the Doctor uttering a word anymore.

So what you’re doing is defining away gain of function. You’re simply saying it doesn’t exist because you changed the definition on the NIH website,” Pau added. “This is terrible, and you’re completely trying to escape the idea that we should do something about trying to prevent a pandemic from leaking from a lab. The preponderance of evidence now points to this coming from a lab. And what you’ve done is changed the definition on your website to try to cover your ass, basically.”

“You have to admit that this research was risky,” he added. “The NIH has now rebuked them — your own agency has rebuked them. The thing is that you’re still unwilling to admit that they gained in function when they say they became sicker. They gained in lethality. It’s a new virus. That’s not gain of function?”

Fauci moved on, denying that the gain of function research created the pandemic, and he continued to try and shirk responsibility. Paul ended the discussion with these words:

“Until you accept it until you accept responsibility, we’re not going to get anywhere close to trying to prevent another lab leak of this dangerous sort of experiment,” Paul said. “You won’t admit that it’s dangerous, and for that lack of judgment, I think it’s time that you resign.”
