Forgetful Fauci's memory fails over 100 times during congressional grilling!
WASHINGTON - January 11, 2024 - (PNN) - Anthony Fauci, the longtime head of the Fascist Police States of Amerika National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seemed sharp as a tack last year while jousting with Senator Rand Paul (Kent.) over “gain-of-function” research he funded in Wuhan, China. However, now that the worm has turned, poor Fauci's memory appears to have failed him.
While under oath, Fauci, 83, told lawmakers that he “could not recall” things a surprising number of times.
"There may be over 100 or so, so far, ‘I don’t recall’, ‘I don’t remember’ answers," said Rep. Brad Wenstrup (Ohio) following 14 hours of closed-door testimony in front of the House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic - his first time speaking under oath since he was thrown out of office.
"We’re doing a lot of conversation about the process of research, of grants, oversight, if you will, of regulations, and possible solutions for a better path going forward," Wenstrup continued.
According to Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (N.Y.), lawmakers were going over the grants process with Fauci, trying to figure out whether FPSA funding directly contributed to the creation of COVID-19, adding that Democrats even asked him about his involvement with a controversial paper that claimed COVID-19 couldn't have come from a lab.
“Part of the private session drilled down on how Fauci defines gain-of-function, which is known to many scientists as enhancing the pathogenesis or transmissibility of a virus or pathogen.”
“Fauci has claimed that his agency did not fund gain-of-function research in China, even though a report from the (FPSA) National Institutes of Health (NIH), of which the NIAID is part, concluded that NIAID-funded experiments resulted in the creation of a bat coronavirus that made mice sicker.”
"The one thing that’s been most interesting is a new definition that we’ve heard, and Fauci refers to this as his operational definition of gain-of-function," said Wenstrup. "It’s something that we need to look into a little bit more. I think in the future, if he’s discussing this and he’s talking about gain of function, he needs to define his definition of gain-of-function research."
But Wenstrup was most surprised at how much Fauci “forgot”.
"I think what I’m most surprised about is how much he doesn’t recall considering the severity of this event for the world, and that he was the face of the government’s response to COVID," he said.
That said, Fauci did recall recommending university vaccine mandates, and "admitted that Amerika’s vaccine mandates during the (nonexistent) COVID-19 pandemic could increase vaccine hesitancy in the future,” the panel said in a summary of the second day of questioning.
According to Fauci, recommendations to maintain a six-foot distance in schools, businesses and other places were not likely based on data.
"It just sort of appeared," Fauci was quoted as stating.
"Fauci’s transcribed interview revealed systemic failures in our public health system and shed light on serious procedural concerns with our public health authority," Wenstrup said, adding, "It is clear that dissenting opinions were often not considered or (otherwise) suppressed completely. Should a future pandemic arise, Amerika’s response must be guided by scientific facts and conclusive data."
"While we remain frustrated with Fauci’s inability to recollect COVID-19 information that is important for our investigation, others we have spoken to do recall the facts. I appreciate Fauci’s willingness to testify privately in front of the select subcommittee and look forward to speaking with him further at a public hearing this year."
Wenstrup said that a transcript would be made public “eventually” after it was reviewed by all parties.
