‘Their goal was to have a single narrative'

"Vanity Fair may not have proven where COVID-19 came from, but they did a smashing job of exposing the rotten core of DC power politics," writes @miltimore79 at @feeonline.https://t.co/7za8BdIWfq

FEE’s Jon Miltimore writes, “Dr. Anthony Fauci has steadfastly denied that NIH funded gain-of-function research—prohibited at the time—which is defined by the Department of Health and Human Services as experimentation ‘that improves the ability of a pathogen to cause disease’ to ‘enable assessment of the pandemic potential of emerging infectious agents.’

The revelation that the federal government was funding risky coronavirus research became problematic in 2019 with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. This might explain, as Eban details, why Fauci, Daszak, and many in their circle were so insistent that the virus’s origins were natural—and grew downright hostile to those suggesting otherwise.

‘Their goal was to have a single narrative,’ said former CDC Director Robert Redfield, who found himself ostracized after urging Fauci to pursue both the natural-origin hypothesis and the lab-leak theory.

The article makes it clear that Fauci and his inner circle did not play nice with scientists who strayed from this ‘single narrative.”
