Fauci lied, people died. Period.
Senator Rand Paul has of course been trying to tell Americans this for months now … if only more of us had listened.
When does the angry little COVID gnome from Hell resign? Go to jail?
Asking for a friend.

Correcting untruthful assertions … aka TOLD THE FREAKIN’ TRUTH after Fauci lied his a*s off.
NIH corrects untruthful assertions by NIH Director Collins and NIAID Director Fauci that NIH had not funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan.

Ok, so we’re not as elegant as Richard here, but it’s pretty much the same thing.
Keep going.
It gets so much worse:
The NIH received the relevant documents in 2018 and reviewed the documents in 2020 and again in 2021.
The NIH–specifically, Collins, Fauci, and Tabak–lied to Congress, lied to the press, and lied to the public. Knowingly. Willfully. Brazenly.

Knowingly. Willfully. Brazenly.
There are no words for how evil this really is.
How many times can one grantee violate the Terms and Conditions of one NIH grant without being penalized?
(Apparently, if the grantee is EcoHealth Alliance, the number is at least four.)https://t.co/9ni8ViX4FD

Welp, we know they violated this one, now.

Oops.

So now what?
That’s our question too.
