BREAKING: New Investigation by The Intercept Proves Fauci Lied About Gain of Function Research Funding for the Wuhan Lab

Sharon Lerner and Mara Hvinstendahl, writing at the Intercept, published the results of an investigation into the activities of The Little Menace to Society Anthony Fauci this morning. The two real reporters were able to obtain more than 900 pages of documents related to US.-funded coronavirus research in China as a result of a FOIA request filed by The Intercept.

Here’s an excerpt from their story:

NEWLY RELEASED documents provide details of U.S.-funded research on several types of coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. The Intercept has obtained more than nine hundred pages of documents detailing the work of the EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S.-based health organization that used federal money to fund bat coronavirus research at the Chinese laboratory. The trove of documents includes two previously unpublished grant proposals that were funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, as well as project updates relating to the EcoHealth Alliance’s research, which has been scrutinized amid increased interest in the origins of the pandemic.

…

“This is a roadmap to the high-risk research that could have led to the current pandemic,” said Gary Ruskin, executive director of U.S. Right To Know, a group that has been investigating the origins of Covid-19.

One of the grants, titled “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,” outlines an ambitious effort led by EcoHealth Alliance president Peter Daszak to screen thousands of bat samples for novel coronaviruses. The research also involved screening people who work with live animals.

Reaction to the story from Sen. Rand Paul, who has repeatedly caught Fauci in outright perjury before congress, and others was swift and pointed:

Senator Rand Paul @RandPaul

Surprise surprise - Fauci lied again And I was right about his agency funding novel Coronavirus research at Wuhan. Read this thread and the papers released. https://t.co/zQizKXLdbd

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO

Anthony Fauci has repeatedly and deliberately mislead Congress and the American people. Resign. And face a congressional inquiry https://t.co/o8Bxfvb8jt

Richard H. Ebright @R_H_Ebright

The documents make it clear that assertions by the NIH Director, Francis Collins, and the NIAID Director, Anthony Fauci, that the NIH did not support gain-of-function research or potential pandemic pathogen enhancement at WIV are untruthful.

Phil Kerpen @kerpen

Rand Paul was right. Anthony Fauci lied to Congress. Media need to run some corrections.

Dr. Fauci lied to us all. https://t.co/3bJRErV7hi

But of course, the corrupt corporate news media will still run interference for the Little Menace to Society. When he was interviewed on CNN shortly after The Intercept published its report, he naturally did not receive a single question about his lies:

Tom Elliott @tomselliott

Today in Journalism CNN’s @jimsciutto lands interview w/ Dr Fauci & doesn’t ask about @theintercept’s bombshell reporting he lied under oath re funding China’s gain-of-function research that likely led to creation of Covid19. (Instead he asks him tee off against @GovRonDeSantis)

The day will come when even the fake journalists at CNN will have to admit Fauci has lied and lied and lied to the American public about pretty much every aspect of this virus and the pandemic and the panic he helped to create. But of course, when they do, they and the Little Menace will most likely tell us it was all for our own good.

You just could never make this stuff up, folks. Not in a million billion years.

That is all.
