Sen. Rand Paul Sends Criminal Referral For Fauci To Department Of Justice

ByRyan Saavedra•Jul 26, 2021   DailyWire.com•FacebookTwitterMail

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) officially sent a criminal referral to the U.S. Department of Justice late last week over Dr. Anthony Fauci allegedly lying to Congress.

Paul told Fox News last week that he was “sending a letter to the Department of Justice asking for a criminal referral because he has lied to Congress.”https://imasdk.googleapis.com/js/core/bridge3.473.0_en.html#goog_467967090

Paul later sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, alleging that Fauci had potentially violated 18 U.S. Code § 1001, which states “whoever ‘makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation’ as part of ‘any investigation or review, conducted pursuant to the authority of any committee, subcommittee, commission or office of the Congress, consistent with applicable rules of the House or Senate’ is subject to criminal fines and imprisonment of up to five years.”

The letter stated:

I write to urge the United States Department of Justice to open an investigation into testimony made to the United States Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions by Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), on May 11, 2021.

As one of the institutes that compose the National Institutes of Health (NIH), NIAID funds many scientific projects both in the U.S. and elsewhere. In response to questioning by me, Dr. Fauci testified that “the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

In May 2016, the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity released a report entitled Recommendations for the Evaluation and Oversight of Proposed Gain-of-Function Research, which stated, “[t]he term ‘gain-of-function’ is generally used to refer to changes resulting in the acquisition of new, or an enhancement of existing, biological phenotypes.”

In a paper entitled ‘Discovery of a rich gene pool of bat SARS-related coronaviruses provides new insights into the origins of SARS coronaviruses,’ Dr. Zheng-Li Shi describes research conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and funded under NIAID Award R01AI110964 in which the spike genes from two uncharacterized bat SARS-related coronavirus strain, Rs4231 and Rs7327, were combined with the genomic backbone of another SARS-related coronavirus to create novel chimeric SARS-related viruses that showed cytopathic effects in in primate epithelial cells and replication in human epithelial cells. These experiments combined genetic information from different SARS-related coronaviruses and combined them to create novel, artificial viruses able to infect human cells. This research, conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and funded under NIAID Award R01AI110964, fits the definition of gain-of-function research.

Under 18 U.S. Code § 1001, whoever ‘makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation’ as part of ‘any investigation or review, conducted pursuant to the authority of any committee, subcommittee, commission or office of the Congress, consistent with applicable rules of the House or Senate’ is subject to criminal fines and imprisonment of up to five years. I ask that you investigate whether Dr. Fauci’s statements to Congress on May 11, 2021 violated that statute or any other.

I look forward to your timely response.

FactCheck.org, which has covered the funding controversy in the past, previously reported that the answer to whether NIH funding was directed to the Wuhan lab and used to further gain-of-function research “depends on whom you ask and their definition of gain-of-function.” (Read the full report here.) The funding claim revolves around a six-figure grant that NIH provided to a group called EcoHealth Alliance, which directed money toward a project at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Josh Rogin, a columnist at The Washington Post, summarized the exchange between Fauci and Paul by writing on Twitter: “Hey guys, @RandPaul was right and Fauci was wrong. The NIH was funding gain of function research in Wuhan but NIH pretended it didn’t meet their ‘gain of function’ definition to avoid their own oversight mechanism. SorryNotSorry if that doesn’t fit your favorite narrative.”

“You Don’t Know What You’re Talking About”: Frazzled Fauci Erupts After Latest Rand Paul GrillingPosted: 20 Jul 2021 10:25 AM PDTUpdate (1250ET): To borrow a phrase popularized by millennials, Sen. Rand Paul has found “the receipts” apparently proving that Dr. Fauci lied about the NIH financing “gain of function” research for bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institue of Virology.MIT biologist Kevin Esvelt reviewed this paper that was published with financial assistance from Dr. Fauci’s NIH/NIAID and concluded “certain techniques that the researchers used seemed to meet the definition of gain-of-function”— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) July 20, 2021While there’s apparently room for interpretation, the NIH’s own experts – whom Dr. Fauci said earlier had unanimously rejected the idea that this constituted ‘gain of function’ research – actually agreed that the opposite was the case.It’s just a reminder that Dr. Fauci and other senior public health officials are prioritizing protection of “the narrative” over “the science”.* * *Clashes between Sen. Rand Paul and Dr. Anthony Fauci have become a routine feature of the latter’s testimony before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, which Dr. Fauci is required to provide in accordance with the COVID stimulus legislation.And on Tuesday, they clashed again after Sen. Paul accused Dr. Fauci of lying to Congress during his May testimony, during which Dr. Fauci claimed the US had never financed gain-of-function projects at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. For those who aren’t familiar with the term, ‘gain-of-function’ research involves making viruses more contagious or deadly in a laboratory.Sen. Paul started by asking Dr. Fauci if he would like to revise some of his statements about the NIH’s research, reminding him that it’s a crime to lie to Congress. Here’s what was said during the rest of the brief back-and-forth.“Do you with to retract your statement from May 11 where you claimed that the NIH never funded gain of function research in Wuhan?”“Senator Paul, I have never lied before the Congress, and I do not retract that statement…this paper you’re referring to was judged by qualified staff up and down the chain as not being gain of function.”“You take an animal virus and you increase it’s transmissibility to humans, you’re saying that’s not gain of function?”“That’s correct…and Sen. Paul, I want to say you do not know what you are talking about,” Dr. Fauci replied. “I just want to say that officially.”Paul said that during his May 11 testimony, Fauci “stated that the NIH has never and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. And yet, gain-of-function research was done entirely in the Wuhan institute by Doctor Shi [Zhengli] and was funded by the NIH.”Readers can watch the clip below:“Senator Paul, you do not know what you are talking about.”— Dr. Fauci after Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) accuses him of lying to Congress about gain-of-function research in Wuhan lab. pic.twitter.com/aGhn3ua9r0— The Recount (@therecount) July 20, 2021When Sen. Paul tried to press the issue, he was chastened by the (Democratic) committee chair, who said she would allow witnesses to come before the committee to respond at a later date.Without offering any examples to support his claim, Dr. Fauci got the last word by saying “you are implying that what we did was responsible for the deaths of individuals, and I totally resent that…if anybody is lying here it is you.”Dr. Fauci then claimed that the viruses from the paper Paul had cited were “molecularly impossible to result in SARS-CoV-2.”“If anybody is lying here, Senator, it is you.”— Dr. Fauci to Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). pic.twitter.com/mrEQTCHgRN— The Recount (@therecount) July 20, 2021While Dr. Fauci’s denial might have sounded convincing on the surface, we of course already know what he said to be false.As we have previously reported, the Dr. Fauci-led NIH effectively helped finance much of the ‘gain of function’ research involving bat coronaviruses going on at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.  Not only has Dr. Fauci argued that ‘gain of function’ research is ‘worth the risk’ that a powerful hyper infectious virus might escape and cause an international pandemic. Why not perform this research in the US? Well, because ‘gain-of-function’ research has been illegal in the US for yearsWe first noted back in March, the NIH – headed by Fauci – had funded a number of projects that involved WIV scientists, including much of the Wuhan lab’s work with bat coronaviruses.Even the Washington Post has confirmed that the WIV “had openly participated in gain-of-function research in partnership with US universities and institutions” for years under the leadership of Dr. Shi ‘Batwoman’ Zhengli.Paul has repeatedly accused Dr. Fauci of using a middle-man – an organization called EcoAlliance, headed by Peter Daszak, the same scientist who led the WHO’s team of scientists tasked with ‘investigating’ the origins of the virus. The money provided to EcoAlliance via the NIH was used mostly to finance research at the WIV conducted by “batwoman” – or Zhengli Shi.When the US government created obstacles to this research during the Obama years, Dr. Fauci found a workaround.Via The Australian:Multiple Trump administration officials told The Weekend Australian Dr Fauci had not raised the issue of restarting the research funding with senior figures in the White House.“It kind of just got rammed through,” one official said.“I think there’s truth in the narrative that the (National Security Council) staff, the president, the White House chief-of-staff, those people were in the dark that he was switching back on the research.”The Weekend Australian has also confirmed that neither Mike Pompeo, the then director of the Central Intelligence Agency, nor National Security Council member Matthew Pottinger, was briefed.The experiments are also opposed by prominent scientists, including the Cambridge Working Group of 200 researchers which issued a public warning in 2014.“Accident risks with newly created “potential pandemic pathogens” raise grave new concerns,” the group’s letter read. “Laboratory creation of highly transmissible, novel strains of dangerous viruses, especially but not limited to influenza, poses substantially increased risks.“An accidental infection in such a setting could trigger outbreaks that would be difficult or impossible to control. Historically, new strains of influenza, once they establish transmission in the human population, have infected a quarter or more of the world’s population within two years.”And Steven Salzberg, of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, in 2015 said the benefits of gain-of-function research were “minimal at best” and they could “far more safely be obtained through other avenues of research”.“I am very concerned that the continuing gain-of-function research on influenza viruses, and more recently on other viruses, presents extremely serious risks to the public health,” he wrote.Looking back, was it worth the risk?Republished from ZeroHedge.com with permissionThe post “You Don’t Know What You’re Talking About”: Frazzled Fauci Erupts After Latest Rand Paul Grilling appeared first on We Are Change.

Why Are George Soros and Bill Gates Buying UK COVID Testing Company?Posted: 20 Jul 2021 10:18 AM PDTA consortium of investors led by the Soros Economic Development Fund (SEDF) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are buying UK-based COVID testing company, Mologic, which has developed a 10-minute coronavirus test – and is best known for its deep-nostril swab test for the virus.According to Forbes, citing a Monday press release, the buyout was done to increase access to “affordable state-of-the-art medical technology” via a rapid ‘lateral flow’ test, which offers an early-warning screening for Covid-19, as negative tests are going to be increasingly required to go back to ‘normal life’ – along with one’s vaccine passport of course.We’re pleased to announce the launch of Global Access Health following our acquisition. This transition expands Mologic’s capabilities to provide affordable #diagnostics to countries left underserved. Read more here: https://t.co/yDRWrFaVoL @gatesfoundation @OpenSociety pic.twitter.com/XwFKfn6beP— Mologic (@mologic) July 19, 2021The Gates-Soros collaboration is part of a new initiative, Global Access Health (GAH), which will invest “at least” $41 million in the deal, according to the statement. The transaction will feature a buyout of all Mologic’s existing shares – including investments held by Foresight Group LLP and Calculus Capital.Soros and Gates are part of the billionaire community looking to direct their philanthropic efforts to the so-called global south, referring broadly to the regions of Latin America, Asia, Africa and Oceania that many fear will be left behind as the more affluent West accelerates its program of vaccinations, testing and biosecure bubbles in the years ahead. Sean Hinton, the CEO of the Soros fund, said in a statement that the pandemic has “painfully demonstrated the fundamental inequities” in global public health, adding that this “unique transaction” has brought philanthropic funds and investors together to address the issue.Roxana Bonnell, a public health expert from Soros’ Open Society Foundations, which claims to be the world’s largest private funder of human rights and social justice advocacy groups, said, “As we have seen during the Covid-19 pandemic, access to testing is absolutely essential when it comes to containing the spread of contagious disease—an issue that ultimately affects us all.” -ForbesFounded in 2003 by father-son team Mark Davis (CEO) and father Paul (Chief Scientific Officer), Mologic has worked with Gates’ philanthropic arm in the past – establishing the Center for Advanced Rapid Diagnostics (CARD) in 2016 with a backing of the Gates Foundation. Paul Davis is also known for inventing the Clearblue pregnancy test in 1988 – the world’s first application of lateral flow technology according to the company.This isn’t the first time Gates and Soros have ‘collaborated.’ In 2015, a Jeffrey Epstein-funded think tank, the International Peace Institute, hosted a “Preparing for Pandemics” conference in Geneva – with senior officials from the Gates Foundation, Open Society, WHO, CDC, Red Cross and Pasteur Institute in attendance.Epstein-funded think tank International Peace Institute hosted a “Preparing for Pandemics” conference in Geneva 2015 with senior officials from Gates Foundation, Soros’ Open Society, WHO, Red Cross, CDC, Pasteur Institute, several govt health ministershttps://t.co/fNvdhkE1a1 pic.twitter.com/BxpGcoK47c— PC (@pc_432) May 6, 2021Republished from ZeroHedge.com with permissionThe post Why Are George Soros and Bill Gates Buying UK COVID Testing Company? appeared first on We Are Change.

Vaccinated Pelosi Aide, White House Official Who Welcomed Fugitive Texas Democrats Test Positive for SARS-CoV-2Posted: 20 Jul 2021 09:04 AM PDTA staff member for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and a White House official tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 after both helping to usher a delegation of Democratic Texas lawmakers around the Capitol last week, according to Axios.Both of the individuals are fully vaccinated and mildly symptomatic, which illustrates “how Americans inoculated against the coronavirus can still contract and, potentially, unknowingly transmit the virus — even at the highest levels of the nation’s government,” according to the report.“We know that there will be breakthrough cases, but as this instance shows, cases in vaccinated individuals are typically mild,” a White House official told Axios.Six of the Texas Democrats who fled the state in a tantrum to prevent a voting integrity bill from advancing have tested positive, while both the Pelosi staffer and the White House official were on the same rooftop reception at the Hotel Eaton last Wednesday night. The White House official has not had any recent direct contact with President Biden, while Pelosi hasn’t had any contact with her staffer since their exposure.“Yesterday, a fully vaccinated White House official tested positive for COVID-19 off campus,” a White House official told Axios, adding “In accordance with our rigorous COVID-19 protocols, the official remains off campus as they wait for a confirmatory PCR test. The White House Medical Unit has conducted contact tracing interviews and determined no close contacts among White House principals and staff. The individual has mild symptoms.”“The White House is prepared for breakthrough cases with regular testing. This is another reminder of the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines against severe illness or hospitalization. We wish our colleague a speedy recovery.”More via Axios:Drew Hammill, deputy chief of staff to Pelosi, told Axios in a statement: “Yesterday, a fully-vaccinated senior spokesperson in the Speaker’s press office tested positive for COVID after contact with members of the Texas state legislature last week.”“The entire press office is working remotely today with the exception of individuals who have had no exposure to the individual or have had a recent negative test. Our office will continue to follow the guidance of the Office of Attending Physician closely.”The big picture: COVID-19 cases are on the rise across the country, with health officials becoming increasingly worried about the Delta variant. It’s significantly more infectious than the original strain, and poses an acute threat to the unvaccinated.Concern about the Delta variant of COVID-19 is causing some places to consider reinstating mask recommendations. A legislative aide also cited the variant in telling Axios’ Alayna Treene on Monday that public tours of the Capitol would not resume in the near future.Most Americans who still aren’t vaccinated say nothing — not their own doctor, a celebrity’s endorsement or even paid time off — is likely to make them get the shot, according to the latest installment of the Axios/Ipsos Coronavirus Index.On Monday, Rep. Vern Buchanan, (R-Fla.) announced he had tested positive for coronavirus after being fully vaccinated, becoming the first known positive case in Congress this summer.Republished from ZeroHedge.com with permissionThe post Vaccinated Pelosi Aide, White House Official Who Welcomed Fugitive Texas Democrats Test Positive for SARS-CoV-2 appeared first on We Are Change.

Biden Backtracks on Facebook “Killing People” as Fauci Urges Americans to Listen to “Trusted Messengers”Posted: 19 Jul 2021 05:52 PM PDTAs analysts blamed the delta variant for Monday’s market ructions, Dr. Anthony Fauci said in an interview that the variant is increasingly becoming the “dominant” strain in the US, while he continued to share data about the efficacy of American-made vaccines despite the growing evidence that the efficacy they provide against Delta is much lower than some believe.Dr. Fauci said that while vaccinated people are “generally protected”, the efficacy of the jab is only 93% to 94%.Meanwhile, earlier today, UK chief scientific advisor Patrick Vallance stated that roughly 60% of people being admitted to hospitals in the UK have already received two vaccine doses. Top health authorities in Israel have arrived at a similar conclusion, warning that the Pfizer jab is only 64% effective.What’s more, Dr. Fauci also pushed back once again on reports that COVID may have been the result of a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, despite reports over the weekend claiming that the intelligence community is increasingly convinced that this is, in fact, the most likely scenario (not the “natural transmission” scenario that a WHO team of scientists tried to push after traveling to Wuhan to “investigate” the virus’s origins).Failing to grasp the irony, Dr. Fauci added that he was “practically pleading” with people to get the vaccine, while claiming that Americans should only listen to “trusted messengers” like…the Biden Administration?But why is trust in “trusted” sources like the government and the media so low? Well, fortunately for us, President Biden offered just the latest example on Monday when he walked back an outrageous comment he made late last week. On Friday, Biden insisted that Facebook is literally “killing people” for allowing ‘anti-vaccine’ content to proliferate.But on Monday, the president walked back the comment, claiming instead that “Facebook isn’t killing people.”Biden explained that his Friday comments weren’t specifically accusing Facebook of killing people, but rather were in reference to the 12 individuals allegedly responsible for the majority of COVID-19 misinformation (the information, from a study by some left-wing think tank, was cited by the White House).Biden said he hopes Facebook doesn’t take “it personally” and instead chooses to “do something” to combat the misinformation.“Facebook isn’t killing people. These 12 people are out there giving misinformation, anyone listening to it is getting hurt by it,” the president explained after giving remarks on the economy. “It’s killing people. It’s bad information.”With this latest flip flop, we can’t help but wonder: does Dr. Fauci still consider President Biden to be a “trusted source of information”?Republished from ZeroHedge.com with permissionThe post Biden Backtracks on Facebook “Killing People” as Fauci Urges Americans to Listen to “Trusted Messengers” appeared first on We Are Change.
