Issues & Insights<\/a> posted an article today that asks a very valid question, “Report Shows Fauci Lied To Congress \u2014 So Why Does He Still Have A Job?” That is a good question.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

COVID-19 czar Anthony Fauci has steadfastly denied that he helped fund gain-of-function research at China\u2019s now-notorious Wuhan Institute of Virology. In recent testimony before Congress, he repeatedly denied ever doing so. But a new 900-page trove of information acquired through a Freedom of Information Act request shows that\u2019s not true.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a huge story. Unfortunately, the mainstream media have essentially ignored it. New York Times? The Washington \u201cDemocracy Dies In Darkness\u201d Post? CNN? Sorry, couldn\u2019t be bothered, even though a 2015 study clearly referred to such research taking place.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It took an aggressive, left-leaning online investigative reporting site, The Intercept<\/a>, to do the Big Media\u2019s work for it by digging up the FOIA material. The mountain of papers are damning, showing clearly that a nonprofit company, EcoHealth Group, channeled federal grants from the National Institute of Health and Fauci\u2019s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease to the Chinese government-run Wuhan Institute of Virology.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe (U.S.) bat coronavirus grant provided EcoHealth Alliance with a total of $3.1 million, including $599,000 that the Wuhan Institute of Virology used in part to identify and alter bat coronaviruses likely to infect humans,\u201d the Intercept reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAlter bat coronaviruses\u201d is the key phrase here, since it indicates gain-of-function experimentation, which even the Obama administration had tightly restricted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scientists with expertise in both viral research and government grant mechanisms call the latest evidence a smoking gun. A thread of tweets<\/a> by Rutgers University molecular biologist Richard E. Enbright provides further scientific insight into what was going on.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe documents make it clear that assertions by the NIH director, Francis Collins, and the NIAID director, Anthony Fauci, that the NIH did not support gain-of-function research or potential pandemic pathogen enhancement at WIV are untruthful,\u201d Enbright wrote.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Broad Institute molecular biologist Alina Chan told The Intercept that the documents also make the lab-leak theory of the COVID-19 virus even more likely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So why is the mainstream media ignoring this story? Because their darling Dr. Fauci might be partly responsible for a virus that has seriously damaged the economy of America and may have made a stolen election possible. It’s somewhat like a mother finding out that her son has robbed a bank. Obviously there must be some mistake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
