The White House’s chief medical adviser, Dr. The relationship between the federal agency that Anthony Fauci directed and the laboratory of Wuhan, China, from which COVID-19 may have originated is not being fully described, by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky) Said on Tuesday. .
Fauci and Paul had beheaded earlier in the day during a Senate committee hearing during which Fauci forcefully denied that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) or the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) called the so-called “benefits of function.” “Receives. Research by Wuhan Institute of Virology.
This is not true, Paul said “Fox News Primetime.”
“Wuhan is a famous scientist in the lab, his name is Dr. Is shi [Zhengli], And he published a A few years ago paper Which has been reviewed by MIT, and says it is a profit-research exercise, ”said Paul. “But in the byline, he has to list the sponsors. He is Dr. Lists Fauci and NIAID as sponsors of his research, which everyone accepts [is] Benefit-of-work research, juicing these observations. So, I don’t know how you get it. “
Cotton similarly told Fox News’ “The Abraham Angle” that Fauci was being “deliberately” and “word game with the American people” at the hearing.
Newsweek Last year reported In early 2014, NIH funded the research by Shi and others and invested $ 3.7 million in $ coronaviruses. Starting in 2019, Newsweek committed another $ 3.7 million in a six-year research program by NIH and NIAID, which included some profit-related work. The second phase of the research was overseen by the nonprofit Ecolitics Alliance.
“I’m not saying [coronavirus] Came from the lab. I don’t know, “Paul told” Fox News Primetime “host Brian Kilmade.” But there’s a lot of evidence that concerns me about this lab and the fact that people aren’t honest, the fact that Dr. Fauci lies and says that he did not give any money to this lab – now maybe his answer [is] … that he gave it to an intermediary, who gave it to them, but if he has an answer, I think that’s a curious way of saying that it didn’t happen when it actually happened. “
Cotton, a Initial proponent of the theory Coronoviruses originated at the Wuhan Lab, asking host Laura Ingrahm: “Isn’t it a wonderful coincidence that this once-in-a-century epidemic occurred in a major metropolitan area like Wuhan, just a few hundred yards from those laboratories. ? In the whole big country of China, a country, the size of the United States, it did not come from a few rural villages into the mountains near Balla Caves, but it was a city larger than New York City that just happened. Was funding the form. “
Paul too Mentioned a New York magazine report It is from January that an unnamed NIH deputy director attempted to cut funding from the EcoHealth Alliance to the Institute of Wuhanology of Wuhan in April 2020, facing stiff objections from Eco Eco President Peter Daszak.
“If Fauci’s deputy is writing a note, saying they are going to stop the money, it means that money was flowing into the Wuhan Institute,” Paul claimed. “He says that some money was flowing to the Wuhan Institute. Well, then why was it stopped? I mean, it makes no sense. It doesn’t make any sense.”
“Tony Fauci and his agency need to answer to the American people what role they played in financing research in these laboratories,” Cotton said.
“Perhaps it was not directly a result of this worldwide epidemic, but why would American tax dollars go to a Chinese Communist lab for the first time that we were conducting in some of the world’s most dangerous kind of research labs that we know of, That we knew three or four years ago was various, low, sloppy security practices? “It was very careless.”
