WASHINGTON — The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic held a hearing titled “A Hearing with Dr. Anthony Fauci” on June 3-4, 2024.
This was the first time Anthony Fauci publicly testified since retiring from his position as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 to 2022, and the chief medical advisor to the president from 2021 to 2022.
Dr. Fauci was questioned about his facilitation and promotion of a singular COVID-19 narrative, his misleading statements before Congress and the public, and his gross mismanagement of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
Dr. Fauci reaffirmed shocking testimony that the “six feet apart” social distancing recommendation that he promoted was arbitrary, not based on science, and “sort of just appeared.” Conclusively, the Select Subcommittee held Dr. Fauci publicly accountable for pandemic-era failures.
Key Hearing Takeaways
Dr. Fauci showed no remorse for the millions of lives affected by his divisive rhetoric and his unscientific policies. He did not apologize to the thousands of Americans who lost their jobs because they refused the COVID-19 vaccine, nor did he apologize to children experiencing severe learning loss as a result of actions he promoted.
Dr. Fauci confirmed that his Senior Advisor — Dr. David Morens — violated official NIH policies and potentially broke federal law. Evidence obtained by the Select Subcommittee suggests that Dr. Morens deliberately obstructed the Select Subcommittee’s investigation into the origins of COVID-19, unlawfully deleted federal COVID-19 records, and shared nonpublic information about National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant processes with his “best friend” EcoHealth Alliance, Inc. (EcoHealth) President Dr. Peter Daszak.
Dr. Fauci maintained his misleading claim that the NIH never funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China. In 2021, he told Sen. Rand Paul that “the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” During yesterday’s hearing, Dr. Fauci doubled down on his previous claim by stating “The NIH did not fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” Notably, former Acting NIH Director Dr. Lawrence Tabak told the Select Subcommittee recently that the NIH did, in fact, fund gain-of-function research in Wuhan.
Dr. Fauci agreed with the Select Subcommittee that EcoHealth and its president, Dr. Peter Daszak, should never again receive a single cent from the U.S. taxpayer. Two weeks after the Select Subcommittee released evidence of EcoHealth’s contempt for the American people, its flagrant disregard for the risks associated with gain-of-function research, and its willful violation of the terms of its NIH grant, the Department of Health and Human Services commenced formal debarment proceedings against the organization and its president.
Dr. Fauci corrected his previous testimony that his staff did not possess conflicts of interest. During his transcribed interview he claimed, “The only people that I am involved with is my own staff, who we’ve mentioned many times in this discussion, who don’t have a conflict of interest.” During yesterday’s hearing, he changed his tune testifying that Dr. Morens “definitely had a conflict of interest.”
Dr. Fauci publicly acknowledged that the lab leak hypothesis was possible and not a conspiracy theory. Yesterday, he told Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) that he falsely claimed that he had kept an “open mind” about the origins of the pandemic. This comes nearly four years after prompting the publication of the now infamous “Proximal Origin” paper that attempted to vilify and disprove the lab leak hypothesis. [1]
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene refused to address Anthony Fauci with the honorific “doctor,” instead referring to him as “Mr. Fauci.” “Mr. Fauci – because you’re not ‘doctor,’ you’re Mr. Fauci in my few minutes … That man does not deserve to have a license. As a matter of fact, it should be revoked, and he belongs in prison,” she said. [2]
Will Mr. Fauci ever face prison time for deceiving the American public and the world by advocating for a “safe and effective” Covid vaccine that was neither safe – nor effective, a vaccine that had numerous side effects including deaths and various ailments as he simultaneously blocked the use of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin to treat Covid?
Advocating for 6-feet social distancing, calling for mask and vaccine mandates as many Americans lost their jobs over lockdown policies refusing the employee-required vaccine mandates, and giving false and misleading statements under oath to Congress? Probably not.
Congress has increasingly become a toothless tiger. Most often people who are called to answer and testify before Congress are presented like a dog and pony show for the American public, nothing comes of it, and no one goes to prison. Furthermore, Mr. Fauci is merely the talking head of the snake who is supported by rich and powerful entities including the Deep State, Big Pharma, Bill Gates, and others.
Even if Fauci were to face trial for crimes against humanity and face a lifetime in prison he would likely be suicide, like Jeffrey Epstein, before he spent much time behind bars by those who currently support him, as they would fear Mr. Fauci implicating testimony and whether he would cut a deal with prosecutors to testify against others in the future
Hopefully, a majority of the American public has awoken, learned a valuable lesson, and will not be as easily misled to “trust the science” the next time a “health crisis” is foisted upon them.
