Denials by Fauci and Collins of Supporting Gain-of-Function Research Are "Brazenly Untruthful"

As concerns mount regarding the US's funding of gain-of-function research on dangerous pathogens, documents from a 2014 public records request cast doubt on the honesty of health officials...

To recap:

1) Francis Collins claimed that the NIH/NIAID never approved any grant that would have supported “gain-of-function” research on coronaviruses that would have increased their transmissibility or lethality for humans.

2) The NIH halted research on 18 separate projects, at least five of which were on coronaviruses, for potentially creating versions that were more deadly in or transmissible among humans.

3) Five projects on coronaviruses were exempted from the pause—solely because a funding-agency official declared they were urgently necessary.

The apparent falsity of the Collins statement is so striking that I wondered if perhaps I was confused. I reached out to Dr. Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at the Waksman Institute of Microbiology at Rutgers University, and an expert on and vocal critic of gain-of-function research of concern. We ran through the Collins statement and the various documents, of which Ebright was already familiar. Ebright—who has testified before Congress about gain-of-function research—said, “Collins’ statement, like similar statements made by Fauci, is untruthful. Knowingly, willfully, and brazenly untruthful.”

Fauci "You use lockdowns to get people vaccinated" from Freedom...

Anthony Fauci, America’s infectious disease czar, apparently sought a crowning career triumph, which would have been a successful vaccine against a dangerous virus. So, he arranged to engineer the organism that he could then triumph against. Like all of Dr. Fauci’s projects over the roughly forty years that he ran the NIAID agency, the mRNA vaccines — subcontracted to the US Military and manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna — turned out to be an epic fiasco.

Covid-19 also happened to be a convenient device for ridding the government of the troublesome President Trump, who threatened to disassemble major parts of the permanent US bureaucracy. If you revisit the many videos of Mr. Trump appearing in the White House Covid crisis room in early 2020 with Dr. Fauci, Dr. Deborah Birx, and other public health officials, I’m sure you will notice his discomfort, as if he suspected he was being played (he was). And conveniently, right after that, the locked-down public’s attention was galvanized by the George Floyd, BLM, and Antifa riots until the 2020 election was upon us. (Another grotesque prank against the people, never adjudicated.)

It took more than a year after the “vaccines” came out for the disturbing actuarial data to emerge from the life insurance industry that many non-elderly people were being killed and disabled by the shots’ adverse effects. (I think the censors were caught by surprise that the truth leaked out from there.) Meanwhile, any able investigator could understand how the half-assed “vaccines,” along with the denigration of off-label early treatment medicines, the reckless use of dangerous remdesivir combined with enormous government payments to hospitals for mis-treating patients with it, the gaming and hiding of CDC statistics, and the obvious censorship of all that information in the corporate news and social media (with help from the CIA and FBI), all added up to a monstrous criminal offense against human decency.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken just testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, during which he was confronted by minority committee member Rand Paul. As Senator Paul states, leaked State Department cables sent years prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic expressed alarm about lax security in Chinese Biosecurity Labs. As it turns out, the State Department was (yet another federal agency!) involved in coronavirus research projects, components of which were conducted in China.

As Senator Paul emphasizes, the grant proposals and papers he has repeatedly requested are NOT classified. The trouble is not the legality of divulging them to the Senate, but the State Department’s refusal to divulge them.

Senator Paul’s questioning of Blinken caught my eye because it reminded me of something that Senator Ron Johnson told us when we visited him at his office last summer—namely, that various federal agencies simply refuse to fulfill his requests for information. It wasn’t the time and place for me to query him about this, but I was astounded by his statement that executive branch appointees and bureaucrats apparently feel no obligation to respond to requests from an elected representative of the People.

Has the Legislative Branch (provided for in Article I. of the U.S. Constitution) become generally weaker than the Executive Branch, or does this lack of power only afflict minority members?

Madison warned about the danger of an “overgrown executive,” but I don’t recall what exactly he proposed as a remedy to this problem that has recurred throughout history. I wonder if there are any Constitutional scholars among our readership who could shed light on this.

Back to Blinken’s testimony: Why does the State Department feel compelled to conceal its coronavirus research documentation from the Senate? Antony Blinken’s dodgy answers to Senator Paul’s questions are reminiscent of Anthony Fauci’s dodgy answers to the Senator’s questions.

Until recently, I would have suggested that the matter be referred to the Department of Justice for a criminal investigation, but that increasingly strikes me as the historical equivalent of the Roman Senate asking the Emperor Nero’s prefect of the Praetorian Guard to investigate suspicions of corruption in the imperial household.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — After a recent all-night HBO binge session, Dr. Anthony Fauci reportedly called up his friends at the Wuhan Institute to see if they could make him a batch of that gnarly zombie fungus from the series The Last of Us.

"Hey there Chin. It's me, Tony," said the former NIAID Director nervously. "So, I know you guys typically just do virus stuff, but I was watching this TV show last night and saw this fungus thing called 'Cordyceps' that turns people into freaky mushroom zombies. Do you think you could whip me up a batch of that?"

Fauci went on to explain that the fungus must be much more deadly and transmissible than the version from the TV show and that it shouldn't be released into the general population until he confirms Pfizer has a vaccine and he has invested a few million in it. "We have to be really careful on this one. Have you heard of those 'Clicker' zombies? Or those things they call 'Bloaters?' Makes me shudder just thinking about it!" he warned.

Senator Rand Paul reacted to the news, saying: "This is ridiculous! Is he crazy? Why on earth would we need a zombie fungus? What's wrong with this psycho doctor?" Paul was then reprimanded by the Senate Health Committee for his extreme lack of decorum.

At publishing time, several Wuhan locals had reported seeing wet market shoppers with fungi on their heads.

The PCR tests were absurdly over-sensitive, enabling the authorities to detect exactly as much COVID-19 as they wanted to detect. There’s no question that the insane social interventions and counter-productive treatments contributed significantly to the death toll. And of course, people are extremely suggestible – the nocebo effect is a real thing.

However, I’m pretty sure the COVID-19 virus is real, and I’m pretty sure it came from a lab.

My own personal experience is quite enough to convince me of the former. I’ve had the virus twice, and each time it was like no cold or flu that I’ve ever had. The second time, last September, was the worst. I tested positive on the day I fell ill, and negative a few days later when the symptoms had cleared up. ...

As to its origin in a lab, enough virologists have remarked on the bizarre features of the furin cleavage site, the cytotoxic spike protein, and various aspects of the viral genome to make a reasonable case in my mind at least that they’re not talking nonsense. Combine that with the presence of a biosafety lab in Wuhan, a long organizational paper trail of grant applications and funding allocations and peer-reviewed publications relating to gain of function research, a biowarfare facility in Fort Detrick, the emails revealing the attempt by that little goblin Fauci and his merry band of lickspittle lab trolls to squelch all talk of gain of function research or lab leaks, and years of censorship and mockery of the lab leak scenario by every official regime organ. That’s a lot of smoke if there’s no fire.

Baric & the malfeasants working on the bat & mouse coronaviruses, notice the date on this NIH Fauci-Collins grant (2014) so research was going on before; I believe the leak & clone work happened here

go to page 161 and read what I have highlighted! Right there they tell us they just created this chimeric deadly coronavirus! Menachery & Baric publish in 2015 & 2016 about this deadly research

When Trump's NIH pulled Peter Daszak's grant to Wuhan in April 2020, the pushback was unimaginable. 77 Nobel laureates begged NIH to give it back.
So did 31 different "scientific societies" -- see an article in SCIENCE magazine, the journal of the American Academy for the Advancement of Science

The New York Times appeared to turn on Dr. Anthony Fauci in a recently published opinion essay that criticized the former NIH director's approach to information sharing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Times contributing opinion writer Megan Stack wrote a column titled 'Dr. Fauci Could Have Said a Lot More,' that primarily explored the government scientist's stifling of the COVID lab leak theory that most Americans have now come to believe.

Stack, a former China correspondent, wrote that Fauci and British zoologist, Peter Daszak, were early to refute in near absolute terms the theory that the novel coronavirus sprung out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Not only was that information not necessarily true, but, wrote Stack, the pair could have qualified their statements in ways that exposed Americans to more of the full picture, but they did not.

Stack further condemned Fauci for initially lying that masks weren't effective, then becoming their biggest champion, and repeatedly moving the needle on when it would be safe to lift lockdown measures.

Fauci has appeared in a new PBS documentary series: “American Masters.” The clip is titled: “Dr. Fauci visits D.C. to battle vaccine hesitancy,” and is from June 2021.

In the below segment, Fauci and DC Mayor are shown going door to door in southeast D.C. Their goal is to talk to residents on their doorstep and urge them to get the COVID-19 vaccine. ...

Fauci and Bowser then push the vaccine to a man from the bottom of the steps. They instantly get rejected. The man tells Fauci, America is not satisfied with the information being given out about the vaccine and questions the timeline of the vaccine development.

Mayor Bowser then responds to guilt trip this man for prolonging the pandemic. She (falsely) believes the vaccine stops transmission. She says:

The only reason I’m talking to you right now, as close as we are, is that I’ve been vaccinated. If thousands of people like you don’t get vaccinated, you’re going to let this virus continue to percolate in this country and in this world.

The man then added:

When you start talking about paying people to get vaccinated, when you start talking about incentivizing things to get people vaccinated, it’s something else going on with that. Y’all’s campaign is about fear. It’s about inciting fear in people. Y’all attack people with fear.

After that exchange, Fauci, Bowser and their team quickly left. The clip ends with Fauci applying hand sanitizer in the back seat of his chauffeured car.

COVID Likely Emerged From Wuhan Lab — and Earlier Than Previously Believed, Senate Report Concludes

COVID-19 likely resulted from an accidental leak at a laboratory in Wuhan, China, and triggered the start of the pandemic earlier in 2019 than Chinese government officials claimed, according to a Senate report released today.

Former DNI John Ratcliffe says the CDC Director, the Secretary of State, and the Director of National Intelligence agreed that COVID-19 was most likely created in the Wuhan lab, but Dr. Anthony Fauci labeled the lab origin as a "conspiracy theory" because he funded the lab:

"You had the top diplomat, the top of the intelligence community, the top public health official all telling you with some confidence level that the most likely origin of this was a lab leak...

Some of those individuals, including Dr. Fauci, were promoting the idea that this was natural origins, and notwithstanding the language which was read, they were referring to this publicly as a conspiracy theory in certain conversations and interviews...

The best evidence of that is their own conversations, which say that they didn't want unwanted attention to the relationships that were taking place between Western virologists and those working within the Wuhan Institute of Virology and funding sources for some of that research."

KanekoaTheGreat
@KanekoaTheGreat
The former Director of National Intelligence agrees with the former CDC Director that Dr. Anthony Fauci lied to Congress under oath about funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab:

"Some of Dr. Fauci's testimony is inconsistent with some of the intelligence that we have that remains classified as well as inconsistent with some information that is publicly available."

Records Show Funding for EcoHealth/Wuhan Institute Research to Create Coronavirus ‘Mutants’; Eco Health planned to sequence the spike protein from coronaviruses obtained from bats for the purpose of “creating mutants to identify how significantly each would need to evolve to use ACE2,” which is explained as “the receptor to gain entry to human cells.”; stunning FOIA findings

The only question now is was this an accidental or intentional release of the man made virus? Was it manslaughter or murder?

According the 552 pages released, the Wuhan Institute of Virology was so safe, there were assurances made to this effect and the facilities were never inspected by the US government. The risk of mutant viruses escaping the laboratory was never even discussed in the risks associated with conducting this research.

If it was so safe, doesn’t the intentional release of this mutant virus have to be considered?

This only gets worse. The year 2 report (2016) clearly states that AIM 3 for year 3 had been expanded to also include conducting gain-of-function research using the MERS virus! ...

This research has to stop now. Congress must stop the funding immediately. There must be accountability. There must be justice for the injured and the dead.

There are ten million people dead from this research “project”. Do we need another man-made outbreak to fully grasp how dangerous this type of research is?

Revealed: NIH Funded Research at Wuhan Lab to Create Mutant Bat Coronaviruses and Study Their Capacity to Infect Humans
Records obtained by Judicial Watch show the National Institutes of Health funded an EcoHealth Alliance grant for sequencing the spike protein from coronaviruses obtained from bats to “creat[e] mutants to identify how significantly each would need to evolve to use ACE2,” which is explained as “the receptor to gain entry to human cells.”

The latest Twitter Files release has provided new evidence that proves Dr. Anthony Fauci lied under oath during his congressional testimony.

During his 7-hour deposition in November, Fauci, Democrat President Joe Biden’s former chief health advisor, stated under oath that he had never used Twitter.

He even went as far as to claim that he “wouldn’t know how to access Twitter if you paid me.”

However, according to the latest release of the social media platform’s internal communication files, Fauci was tasked with running the official White House COVID-19 Response account on Twitter. ...

Fauci FINALLY admits Covid vaccine mandates he helped orchestrate fueled anti-vaxx movement across the US
Dr Fauci was an early vocal supporter of federal and state government mandates
Mandates were meant to bolster lagging vaccination rates during the delta wave

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a testy exchange with an interviewer for Meet the Press last week, Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed he never locked down schools and hasn't even heard of COVID.

"COVID? I've never even heard of such a thing! What is COVID? That sounds made up!" said the former NIAID Director and COVID advisor to the President. "And I certainly had nothing to do with locking down schools and destroying kids' learning and development for over a year. What kind of monster would do something like that? You must have me confused with someone else."

The interviewer then nervously checked his notes to make sure he was, indeed talking to Anthony Fauci, the chief architect of U.S. COVID policies. "But it says here that--"

"Shut up!" cried Fauci as he smacked the notes out of the interviewer's hands. "I'll ask the questions here! I AM SCIENCE!"

Sources say the doctor further denied any involvement in business closures, Wuhan lab coverups, or the field of medicine altogether. At publishing time, former President Trump had claimed to have no idea who Fauci was.

One Health is also a funding stream for collecting viruses for GOF research. And USAID is a big funder; isn't USAID another name for CIA? Isn't Gain of Function another name for Germ Warfare?

Enter Jonna Mazet, a very close colleague of Peter Daszak and prof at UC Davis. She ran the Predict project to trap wild viruses and send them back to DOD's DTRA for further investigation, etc. ...

And guess what? The Global Virome Project [to produce viruses for the next pandemic] is supported by Tedros and friends at WHO through the Trinity Challenge—in which Daszak, Mazet and friends wants donors and partners to fund them to keep catching viruses for fun and profit.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was in New Hampshire this week, and has obviously coined a whole new term for overreaching and incompetent government: “Fauci-ism.”

Specifically, DeSantis said:

They want to institutionalize lockdowns. They act like ‘this worked,’ when it did incredible damage throughout our country…it destroyed parts of the economy, and it didn’t stop the spread…so the idea we would even be entertaining that going forward is absolutely crazy. I think we need to make sure we say: Fauci-ism was wrong. Fauci-ism was destructive. We will never let Fauci-ism take root in this country ever again.

I can’t think of any better way to honor the late head of the NIAID, except perhaps a firing squad (after a fair trial, of course). Making the doctor’s name a hissing and a byword might be the next best thing.

This is the most important video you will watch this year. Millions were killed with Covid-19 for profit.

“Covid-19 was an act of biological warfare perpetrated on the human race. It was a financial heist. Nature was hijacked. Science was hijacked.”

A new study published in the the Journal of Biological Chemistry this month with the complex title, “SARS-CoV-2 Spike Ectodomain Targets α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors.” It was more bad news about the spike, showing how nature somehow rapidly evolved the spike protein in parallel to lots of other existing deadly diseases and poisons.

Here’s the knockout part of the study, right from the article’s abstract:

The SARS-CoV-2 glycoprotein contains a neurotoxin-like region that has sequence similarities to the rabies virus and the HIV glycoproteins, as well as to snake neurotoxins, which interact with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes via this region.
Snake venom! The researchers discovered neurotoxic, snake venom-like genetic characteristics within the spike protein. It confirms Dr. Brian Ardis’ concerns, who faced ridicule and exclusion from medical freedom conferences after he discussed the similarities between the spike protein and snake venom on the Stew Peters show.

Somebody owes Brian Ardis an apology.

I’m only a lawyer, not a virologist, but I could not find a single other virus that has ever been described as having neurotoxic features similar to snake venom. Feel free to correct me, but it looks like a truly novel feature of this virus that supposedly somehow evolved naturally in a Chinese bat cave, at least according to human cockroach Tony Fauci. Maybe the snakes were getting cuddly with the bats or something.

You’d think scientists would be marveling at this evolutionary miracle that completely defies our understanding of how viruses evolve in the wild. You’d think. Instead, the scientists are strangely silent.

The study also demonstrated astonishing genetic similarities between SARS-CoV-2 and rabies — which coincidentally is a central nervous system antagonist much like snake venom — as well as recurring genetic characteristics resembling HIV. It is truly remarkable how nature really outdid itself, exhibiting wild creativity by evolving genetic features of rabies, snake venom, and the human immunodeficiency virus into the common cold within the evolutionary period of about a half nanosecond.

What are the odds? The unlikely chances for such natural convergent evolution in the coronavirus’s genetic makeup are negligible to the point of ludicrous impossibility. When will scientists stop dancing around the obvious so we can start seriously looking for WHO made the virus?

Anyway. When people took the safe and effective shots to prevent a mild cold, did they realize they were forcing their bodies to make safe and effective fragments of unsafe and not-at-all-effective neurotoxic snake venom, rabies, and HIV, for months and months and months?

I spent this evening carefully reviewing declassified e-mails authored by the eminent Scripps Institute virologist, Kristian Andersen. The first one was dated January 31, 2020 and addressed to Anthony Fauci:



The most noteworthy sentences in the email are:

The unusual features of the virus make up a really small part of the genome [0.1%] so one has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features (potentially look engineered. … I should mention that after discussions earlier today, Eddie, Bob, Mike [Edward Holmes, Robert Garry, Michael Farzan] and myself all find the genome [of SARS-CoV-2] inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory.

3.5 days later—shortly after a phone conference with Dr. Fauci and others—Dr. Andersen completely changed his tune. By then, the decision had been to submit a letter to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine regarding the origin of SARS-CoV-2.



Please note the final sentence:

If one of the main purposes of this document is to counter those fringe theories [about the virus being engineered] I think it’s very important that we do so strongly and in plain language (“consistent with” [natural evolution] is a favorite of mine when talking to scientists, but not when talking to the public—especially conspiracy theorists).

After these e-mails were released to the public in response to a FOIA request, Dr. Andersen claimed that he learned revelatory things about the novel virus in the 3.5 days following his initial e-mail to Fauci, and that these revelations caused his perfect volte-face. However, it seems to me that his explanation doesn’t really account for his strident, unequivocal assertions in his second e-mail.

Many of the recipients’ names in his February 4, 2020 have been redacted, but there many apart from the two men who received his January 31 e-mail (Dr. Fauci and Jeremy Farrar). His first e-mail was a matter of strictly confidential counsel. His second pertains to an open letter—about to be sent to a large institution with many members—declaring that anyone who even suspects the novel virus to have emerged from a lab is a crackpot conspiracy theorist.

What on earth could inspire a virologist to adopt a posture of such Machiavellian duplicity about an infectious agent that—as he well knew—was about to inflict a catastrophe on all of mankind? He had to have known that such pronouncements—coming from a virologist of his eminence—would likely retard a thorough and impartial investigation of the virus’s origin.
