As the Walls Close in, Fauci Doubles Down on More Lies Regarding COVID Origins

The last several months have not been good for Dr. Anthony Fauci, as the mainstream media has begun to catch up with months-old reporting we have been doing here at RedState. The not-go-good doctor has been pummeled with reports and accompanying information showing Fauci’s statements to Sen. Rand Paul, along with accusations that the Senator didn’t “know what [he is] talking about,” to be flat out lies. Sen. Paul has long held that the NIH funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Insitute of Virology, a contention Fauci has labeled as “lies” since at least May 11, 2021.

Fauci’s misinformation march came to a screeching halt last week when an NIH-published letter was made public which admitted that viruses were manipulated through gain-of-function to become more infectious and deadly and that some of that research conducted violated the terms of the grant given to EcoHealth Alliance, a non-profit which was acting as an intermediary for funding from the NIH to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. This report alone should have led to Fauci’s firing as the Director of NIAID, but there are still at least two other NIH-funded studies specifically labeled by researchers as gain-of-function that indicate research cooperation with scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Despite the growing mountain of evidence that highlights Fauci’s lies, he continues to state that the EcoHealth Alliance grant did not fund gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Fauci made the rounds again on Sunday, telling George Stephanopoulos that neither he nor (the unexpectedly recently resigned) Francis Collins ever lied regarding the funding of gain-of-function research. But it was what Fauci later stated that showed that his approach to his misstatements isn’t just from that of communicating his version of the truth.

Fauci stated that none of the viruses on which experiments were being conducted could have ever become SARS-CoV-2. Yes, the viruses to which Fauci refers are the viruses reported by EcoHealth Alliance. Yes, we’ve talked about the efforts of a cover-up perpetrated by EcoHealth Alliance’s President Peter Daszak. Yes, we’ve covered why this and the other litany of reasons why anything from EcoHealth Alliance should be immediately called into question.  Yes, we’ve covered that the NIH’s own letter even failed to consider the potential of gain-of-function being conducted on other, more genetically similar viruses to SARS-CoV-2
