#Dr #Rand #Paul Questions Dr #Fauci About Gain of Function Research on November 4

🇺🇸@COVID19Up: On Thursday (Nov. 4), U.S. Senator Rand Paul accused Dr. Fauci of misleading the public about the role the National Institutes of Health (NIH) played in funding dangerous "gain of function research" in Wuhan, suggesting SARS-CoV-2 could be the result of such research released into the world because of a lab leak.

During a Senate Health Committee hearing about the federal COVID-19 response, Paul and Fauci clashed over the definition of "gain of function," which Paul said Fauci changed in order to "save your ass."

Paul accused Fauci of lying about the role NIH has played.

"You have said I am unwilling to take any responsibility for the current pandemic. I have no responsibility for the current pandemic," Fauci said.

"The preponderance of evidence points to this coming from a lab," Paul said. "Your persistent denials are a clear and present danger to the country and the world."
