Sen. Rand Paul reacts to the #FauciEmails dump exactly the way he should

"Dr. Anthony Fauci’s face has graced magazine covers, t-shirts, pillows, and prayer candles. He was the hero of COVID19 pandemic, after all.

But even more importantly than being a hero, he was a fraud. A massive fraud. The newly released trove of emails to and from Dr. Fauci makes that abundantly clear."

Scientist Kristian Anderson told Fauci SARS-CoV-2 has “unusual features” that “potentially look engineered”. Not long after this email, the scientists authored a piece insisting the virus was natural and Fauci said the same publicly. This is a massive cover-up.

This email also says the genome of SARS-CoV-2 appears “inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory”. Yet, other scientists who raised this same point were shut down and ignored, while journalists investigating it were accused of peddling a debunked conspiracy theory

According to Sky News host, Sharri Markson,

"Fauci misled the public by failing to say the virus may have been the result of gain-of-function experiments at a Wuhan lab. No one knows more about this research than him - including the risk of a pandemic. But he never once mentioned it during conversations in the Oval.

Fauci wrote in 2012 that gain-of-function research could spark a pandemic but he felt the benefits of it outweighed the risks. Now we learn he knew about the unusual features of Covid-19 early last year but didn’t say a word. This is a monumental cover-up. He needs to resign.

It is incomprehensible for an official charged with protecting the public health of Americans to decide a pandemic is a risk he is willing to take. He covered-up a possible lab origin not just from the public but from the most senior White House national security officials".
