Elon Musk demanded the arrest and prosecution of Dr. Anthony Fauci on Friday after the National Institutes of Health came clean to Congress and admitted funding risky “gain-of-function” research in Wuhan, China, prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic there.
“Prosecute/Fauci,” the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and owner of social media network X tweeted, sharing The Post’s Friday front page bearing a photo of Fauci and the headline “SICK LIES.”
NIH principal deputy director Lawrence Tabak confessed Thursday at a House subcommittee hearing that the US government had indeed funded dangerous research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which modified bat coronaviruses shortly before the outbreak began in late 2019.
“Dr. Tabak, did NIH fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through [Manhattan-based nonprofit] EcoHealth [Alliance]?” ”asked Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.) of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.
“It depends on your definition of gain-of-function research,” Tabak answered. “If you’re speaking about the generic term, yes, we did.”
Tabak’s answer conflicts with Fauci’s several fiery denials.
“The NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Fauci, now 83, testified to Congress in May 2021.
Musk did not specify what criminal charges Fauci should face, though perjury and lying to Congress are obvious options and have been recommended by congressional Republicans.
Both offenses carry up to five years in prison and generally have five-year statutes of limitations. --->READ MORE HERE
COVID-19, which killed 1.1 million Americans and destroyed the lives and livelihoods of millions more, is a manmade virus that escaped from a Chinese lab partly funded by the US government.
Even today, you’re not supposed to say that — even though it’s the only plausible scenario.
No, “fact checkers” will rush in to claim that eminent scientists deny this. Which is because those scientists have too much invested — in money, in time, in their own beliefs — to admit the truth.
But as Congress continues to probe, that truth is coming out, little by little, and the lies are being exposed:
China tried to deflect blame immediately by saying the virus supposedly began in a “wet market” of animal meat in Wuhan.
Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly argued it “evolved in nature and then jumped species” in the spring of 2020.
Since then, both long investigations and government reports have concluded that the virus is manmade. Fauci grudgingly admitted it “could be” true.
LIE: The virus didn’t come from the lab in Wuhan
Anyone who questioned this claim — including The Post — was censored online in 2020. The reason? A statement published in Lancet by 27 scientists calling it a “conspiracy theory.”
We now know that statement was drafted by Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, the company working on research in the Wuhan lab. He was just trying to cover his own complicity.
All signs point to a lab leak. The only reason we can’t say it conclusively is because China has been allowed to destroy all evidence. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to relevant/related stories and resources:
