COVID’s lawn gnome, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci may be suffering from the Wuhan virus after a couple of vaccines and two or three boosters (Tony Fauci, the Quadruple Vaxed, Double Masked Oracle of Nonsense, Has COVID) but he still appeared before a full committee meeting of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions titled An Update on the Ongoing Federal Response to COVID-19: Current Status and Future Planning. Senator Rand Paul was there waiting.
There was some speculation yesterday that Fauci might be feigning illness to avoid Paul, but thanks to technology, Fauci was there.
Paul hit two major topics. First, he grilled Fauci on why COVID boosters were required for children when there is no evidence that they do any good. Second, he exposed the racket of some NIH scientists receiving what amounts to secret royalty payments from companies they may fund.
PAUL: Dr. Fauci, the government recommends everybody take a booster over age five. Are you aware of any studies that show reduction in hospitalization or death for children who take a booster?
FAUCI: Right now? There’s not enough data that has been accumulated, Senator Paul, to indicate that that’s the case. I believe that the recommendation that was made was based on the assumption that if you look at the morbidity and mortality of children within each of the age groups, you know, 0 to 5, 5 to 11…
PAUL: So there are no studies, and Americans should all know this, there are no studies on children showing a reduction in hospitalization or death with taking a booster. The only studies that were permitted, the only studies that were presented were antibody studies. So they say, ‘if we give you a booster, you make antibodies.’ Now a lot of scientists would question whether or not that’s proof of efficacy of a vaccine. If I give you 10, or if I give a patient 10 mRNA vaccines, and they make protein each time, or they make antibody each time, is that proof that we should give 10 boosters, Dr. Fauci?
FAUCI: No, think that is somewhat of an absurd exaggeration.
