High-ranking members of the GOP are demanding answers from Dr. Anthony Fauci after newly released emails suggest he warned fellow health bureaucrats that COVID-19 could have leaked from the Wuhan Insitute of Virology (WIV) and that it might have been “genetically manipulated.” In a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, Republicans on the congressional Committee on Oversight and Reform and the Committee on the Judiciary are requesting that Fauci testify under oath after emails show he may have intentionally shielded information about COVID’s origins from the Trump White House and the American public.
“It is imperative we investigate if this information was conveyed to the rest of the government and whether this information would have changed the U.S. response to the pandemic,” Reps. James Comer and Jim Jordan wrote.
The emails indicate that Fauci, along with National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins, knew as early as Feb. 1, 2020, that “COVID-19 may have leaked from the WIV and, further, may have been intentionally genetically manipulated.”
“I really can’t think of a plausible natural scenario where you get from the bat virus or one very similar to it to nCoV where you insert exactly 4 amino acids 12 nucleotide that all have to be added at the exact same time to gain this function– that and you don’t change any other amino acid in S2? I just can’t figure out how this gets accomplished in nature,” one of the scientists noted in an email with Fauci and Collins.
“Again, it is unclear if either Dr. Fauci or Dr. Collins ever passed these warnings along to other government officials or if they simply ignored them,” the letter states.
The 11 scientists on the call when Fauci and Collins first heard of a potential lab leak quickly penned a paper detailing what they […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
