Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) claimed Dr. Anthony Fauci committed perjury over his gain of function comments related to Communist China\u2019s Wuhan lab.<\/strong><\/p>\nPaul was asked on Real America\u2019s Voice\u2019s The Water Cooler<\/em> show, \u201cdo you believe he [Fauci] perjured himself?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cAbsolutely, he lied to the America people. There was gain of function research going on with Dr. Shi Zhengli at the Wuhan Institute,\u201d Fauci explained.<\/strong><\/p>\nIn her paper, she actually thanked Dr. Fauci and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which is a part of National Institutes of Health (NIH) that Dr. Fauci runs,\u201d Paul continued.<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s listed at the end of the paper. This paper was fined by NIAID research and it lists a ten digit number that identifies the research money she got from from the United States. Was it gain of function?\u201d Paul asked.<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cWell it took a SARS virus, which is a coronavirus, that\u2019s 15 times more deadly than COVID, and it added to it S protein, which is something in the surface of it, to make it more easily infectious to epithelial cells for the respiratory tract. That to me is gain of function,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\nPaul went on to highlight two scientists, one from Rutgers University and another from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who confirmed the paper studies gain of function.<\/strong><\/p>\nSenator Rand Paul is a doctor and has paid close attention to this epidemic.<\/p>\n
Yesterday YouTube posted a video of the Senate cheering after an amendment Senator Paul added to a bill passed unanimously. The amendment bans all U.S. funding of gain of function research in China.<\/p>\n
