Sen. Rand Paul, MD: NIH lied and continues to lie about 'gain of function' research and COVID
Fox News ^ | Nov 4 | Sen. Rand Paul

Posted on 11/04/2021 5:08:10 PM PDT by RandFan

Dr. Anthony Fauci says that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) did not fund "gain-of-function" research in Wuhan and even if they did, the newly created superviruses are genetically too dissimilar to COVID to have caused the pandemic. The left-wing media allows this blather to accumulate without any critical analysis.

First, no one, not myself or anyone I’m aware of, argues that a recombinant supervirus that has been published in scientific journals is COVID-19 or a close relative. If COVID-19 leaked from the Wuhan lab, it would be a laboratory-created virus that the Wuhan scientists have not yet, and are unlikely ever, to reveal.

What we are arguing is that the techniques that the NIH funded in Wuhan to create enhanced pathogens may also have been used to create COVID-19.

Fauci’s sophistry is a straw man argument to avoid a fact that even the NIH now admits: that a recombinant virus created in the Wuhan lab and funded by the NIH did display increased lethality.

One way of denying that the NIH funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan is to scrub the NIH website of its "gain-of-function" definition.

On Oct. 20, the NIH admitted in a letter to two members of Congress that research supported by the NIH in Wuhan did create viruses that gained function or gained in lethality.

On the same day, the NIH removed its previous definition of gain-of-function research from its website and replaced it with another term: "enhanced potential pandemic pathogen" research. As described on the NIH website, ePPP research refers to research "that may be reasonably anticipated to create, transfer, or use potential pandemic pathogens resulting from the enhancement of a pathogen’s transmissibility and/or virulence in humans."

Is there not an “O sh*t!” email trail involving Fauci and friends?

The FBI didn’t have an issue raiding Rocky Flats when they committed nebulous “crimes against the planet”, but here the NIH has been caught committing real crimes such as animal cruelty, and paying foreign governments to develop bio weapons that we have been attacked with .... crickets ....
