Dr. Anthony Fauci is an adviser to President Donald Trump and something of an American folk hero for his steady, calm leadership during the pandemic crisis. At least one poll shows that Americans trust Fauci more than Trump on the coronavirus pandemic—and few scientists are portrayed on TV by Brad Pitt...

Thanks Obama.
There is total justification for American researchers co operating with Chinese bat researchers. America has been suffering from bat caused disease for 75 years or so. Such cooperation is not only not a crime, it is required to learn about bats as a disease vector
Although this article describes the bat/rabies problem in New York, it is prevalent in many other states. The truth is, the Americans with bat disease expertise had a duty to collaborate with others studying bats as a disease vector, especially those with large diseased bat populations.
Below are excerpts from one article. There are many other such articles.
Bat Rabies
“Rabies virus infection in bats was first recognized in the US in 1953, and the first rabid bat was identified in New York State in 1956. Since then, the disease has been identified in each of New York’s nine species of insectivorous bats and is widely distributed geographically within the state. Bats and rabid bats can be found in every corner of New York State, from Manhattan to the most remote area of the Adirondacks.
Among bats encountered by people and pets that are submitted to the rabies laboratory for testing, about 3% are found to be rabid. Among normally behaving bats collected in their natural habitats, a fraction of 1% are rabid. Outbreaks of rabies in bat populations have not been observed, and finding one rabid bat in a colony of bats is not evidence of greater prevalence of rabies in that population.
Rabies infection in bats is similar to the disease in other mammals. It is characterized by a variable incubation period that can be months long, a clinical period of about a week with behavioral changes and progressive paralysis leading to death, and the capacity to transmit the virus by bites inflicted during the clinical period.”

As a cave explorer, we were warned to avoid direct contact to bats that are found in almost all local caves we frequented. Bats also live in people’s attics. Recall the phrase “bats in his belfry”.
Bat disease study is a legitimate function of the CDC
According to Jim Cramer of CNBC, Dr.Fauci cured AIDS.
DR. FRAUD needs to be INVESTIGATED!! ASAP
Whoa...Newsweak ratting out the good doctor.
2015 co-research Wuhan w Univ North Caroline.
Obama cancelled research after Fauci recommended.
Research attempted to cure several common diseases.
What’s the point of your post?
Research on bats as disease vectors is valuable? That value appears to be high.
Giving U.S. money to a lab in China that might also seek to weaponize a mutated virus? That value is questionable — other than the potential value to the Chinese Communist Party.
No one questions the value of research. What’s in question is paying our enemies to weaponize viruses that might then create an excuse to shut down the U.S. economy.

nearly 2 hours, but riveting:
29 Apr: Youtube: Former AIDS Scientist Exposes Dr. Fauci’s Medical Corruption
Dr Judy A Mikovits PHD has a virtual sit-down with Patrick Bet-David and opens up about her fallout with Anthony Fauci that led to her 5 year arrest and whistleblower status.

My husband thinks Trump ‘outed’ Fauci by putting him in the spotlight, and then making sure that this Wuhan Lab funding run by him/ during Obama’s time, was well known. hmmm
So it’s really the “Fauci Flu.”
Oh yes....... many here question anything that isn’t “common sense”
You are grasping at very brittle and thin straws to make a fake point
Checkered background that fellow Fauci.
OANN tonight reported on a records request fir Fauci’ and Birx’s (State Dept.) past knowledge about WuXi.
Trump is going to trust NO ONE in DC.
Soros’ and Gate’s tendrils go far and deep.
Faux Xi was ok with HCQ some years ago
It seems we have many people in the US government who have the authority to give away millions, if not billions of taxpayer monies. I am surprised the national debt isn’t twice what it is.
I still can’t believe that POTUS would allow himself to be so closely tied to this deep state rat. Trying to blame Fauci for the economic misery at some later point won’t fly with the voters.
