NIH admits gain-of-function funding. Rand Paul wonders if Fauci will ever be held accountable for lying about it

Fox News reports, “Despite repeated denials by NIAID Director Anthony Fauci that his agency used American taxpayer money to fund Chinese gain-of-function research on bats infected with coronaviruses, the National Institutes of Health – which oversees NIAID – admitted in a letter to House Oversight Committee ranking member James Comer, R-Ky., that a 'limited experiment' was indeed conducted.

Comer's fellow Kentuckian, Sen. Rand Paul, joined 'Fox News Primetime' to react to the bombshell, as well as further reflect on his often-viral sparring with Fauci during Senate hearings on the matter...

'I don’t know if they have time to go after Dr. Fauci for lying. He should be held accountable because what we have developed as a system of health care in our country where doctors are afraid to speak out because they will cut out their research funding, doctors who have talked about innovative treatment to try to help people survive COVID are being lectured and told we will take your license. This is the kind of thing, this top-down centralization of medical authority, it’s not good for our country and it’s not good for innovation.'

Paul said he fears that an apolitical doctor will stumble across a life-saving treatment to another disease or virus – but instead discard or not publicize his work for fear of retribution from the medical establishment and people like Fauci, whose office allocates millions of dollars in grant monies.”
