Records recently obtained by House Republicans indicate a senior official with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) downplayed the Covid lab-leak theory at the behest of Anthony Fauci.
On Thursday, Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, the chair of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, sent a letter to Dr. David Morens, the NIAID director’s senior scientific advisor, demanding “all documents and communications from Dr. Morens’ personal email and cellphone related to eight, unique COVID origins publications” and any correspondence between Morens and individuals “involved in the COVID origins investigation and narrative.”
“Documents in possession of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic … suggest that you may have used your personal e-mail to avoid transparency and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), potentially intentionally deleted federal records, and acted in your official capacity to disparage your fellow scientists, including by encouraging litigation against them,” Wenstrup wrote.
Included in Wenstrup’s letter is an email suggesting that Fauci — who until December was NIAID director and has dismissed the theory that Covid-19 leaked out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology — instructed Morens to speak with major media in an apparent attempt to downplay such a hypothesis. According to the records, on July 29, 2021, Morens wrote: “But today, to my total surprise, my boss Tony [Fauci] actually ASKED me to speak to the National Geographic on the record about origins. I interpret this to mean that our government is lightening up but that Tony doesn’t want his fingerprints on origin stories.”
National Geographic published an article featuring Morens’ remarks nearly two months later on Sept. 13, 2021, in which he claimed, “There is a progenitor virus out there somewhere, and we should look for it,” but that “at some point, it crosses over from doing due diligence to wasting time and being crazy.” --->READ MORE HERE

Legendary “Saturday Night Live” alum Dana Carvey mocked former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci during a recent podcast with former “SNL” colleague David Spade.
The two poked fun at Fauci’s COVID-19 guidance throughout the years of the coronavirus pandemic, with Carvey giving his best impression of Fauci trying to convince Americans to take a daily COVID shot that grants immunity for up to 39 seconds.
Carvey’s bit of satire had Spade and the rest of the podcast’s production crew laughing out loud on set.
The bit started with the two comedians reminiscing about the COVID-19 pandemic during a podcast appearance together.
Carvey brought up the topic with a sarcastic line, saying, “I miss COVID.”
Amused, Spade began to riff on the topic as well, pointing out what he perceived was a double standard in COVID-19 prevention protocol.
He replied, “I know! Dude, dude! You know when I knew there was trouble? When anyone that came to our country didn’t have to get a vaccine, and I go, ’If you’re telling me that I can’t go to work, but everyone coming in doesn’t have to get one, I go…’” Spade then made a shocked face as if he couldn’t believe the hypocrisy. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to relevant/related stories and resources:
