#Fauci-funded
"RFK Jr. believes that Fauci and Gates are members of a 'vaccine cartel' trying to kill patients... He argues that this cartel secretly funded doctors to produce fraudulent studies showing that the drugs were ineffective against COVID—and that it did so in order to orchestrate global lockdowns"

Donald Trump on removing security details for people like Dr. Fauci and John Bolton:

"They all made a lot of money, they can hire their own security."

Uh. Why didn't billionaire Trump just hire his own security instead of begging for more taxpayer-funded Secret Service agents?

Vile man.

Breaking News: Dr. Anthony Fauci’s government-funded security detail was cut off by President Trump. He’s the latest prominent former official to lose protection since Trump's return to the White House.
Anthony Fauci Stripped of Government Security Protection

There was a different #covidorigin -related release later yesterday, by a departing Tulsi Gabbard. Will do a thread or post but, in short:

If this is the best they had, they really have nothing.
And they tried to smear Fauci with lies debunked by their own documents.

Josh Hawley:
“Nothing says honesty like taking the Fifth, eh Doc?”

(Honest people don’t plead the Fifth)

Trump pled the Fifth about 440 times in 2022.

Fauci didn’t commit any federal crime.

This was all about getting him to say that Covid originated from a lab leak funded by the NIH.

Partisan #Fauci accusations are not #facts.
Accusations that remain disputed and unproven:
1. Fauci funded gain of function research in Wuhan.
2. Covid originated from a lab leak in China.
3. Fauci chased fame.
4. Trump would have had to close down the country if he listened to Fauci.

"The documents fall far short of corroborating various Gabbard claims abt Fauci."

Most notably, the docs:
-"...do not come close to proving...'Fauci Funded Wuhan Lab Research That Sparked COVID'
-"...don’t show...he 'manipulated intelligence.'”
-"...don’t prove...Fauci 'lied to Congress in 2024'" 🛟

The conspiracy theory, laid out by Paul during the hearing, is that research that would have led to SARS-CoV-2 was funded by NIAID, and so Fauci, its former head, is complicit. People would want to cover up the link to US funders.

The NIAID-funded project could not have led to SARS-CoV-2.
I still don't understand the purpose of this conspiracy theory exactly. Why would everyone be trying to cover up that the virus (which was clearly not bioengineered) was loosed through a lab leak as opposed to spread in wet markets?
Zeynep Tufekci is still completely insane over the lab leak idea. "There is a conspiracy to cover this up" is not evidence for "covid was a bioweapon that escaped from a lab". It could also be evidence for my theory, "please stop talking about this stupid idea"

Leaving aside the egregious comparison to Larry Kramer, RFK's ideas about COVID were treated as false because they were false!

He has spent his entire adult life promoting ideas that are wrong and have literally gotten children killed. How *should* we treat a figure like this?

Rand Paul set up his own ‘National Board of Ophthalmology’ because he did not want to recertify every 10 years-you know learn new stuff about his profession! Dr. Fauci funded and participated in new research because, well diseases evolve, unlike Rand Paul.

The clampdown on the NIH by President Donald Trump’s administration continued late last week with more new restrictions, the naming of a temporary leader, and some bad news for Anthony Fauci, its former chief of infectious disease research.

Think about when RFK Jr. (anyone remember him?) tweeted this.

If we adequately taught the social process of science—how scientists are funded, what motivates them, what is rewarded, why centralized authority is ineffective—folks would realize immediately what an absolute crock of horseshit this is.

Rand Paul mentions a previous hearing where Fauci said that Paul did not know what he was talking about.

It's true, by the way.

Paul now talks about trust in science. 🙄

Rand Paul says that Fauci covered up a lab origin of SARS-CoV-2 to hide the fact that NIH had funded the Wuhan lab.

Problem: Paul still has not actually found evidence for any this in any of the documents that he obtained.

The other animating feature of authoritarian "conservatism" in Oregon is the widespread belief that everything they don't like is the outgrowth of some evil-intended conspiracy funded by George Soros, promoted by woke Commie academics, or hatched by Tony Fauci. rightlandia.ghost.io/its-funny-un...
It's funny until it's not; why I've stopped finding absurd right wing conspiracy theories so hilarious
