TODD: This thing with Fauci and Rand Paul. Let\u2019s get into some of the sounds of that. Nicholas Wade is — and it\u2019s notable that this is not in the New York Times, that this is instead on Medium.com, and you can find the link to this, I\u2019m sure, at RushLimbaugh.com. Nicholas Wade, former New York Times science writer (and, I understand, he was a former staffer at the journal Nature), writes, “From June 2014 to May 2019 EcoHealth Alliance had a grant from NIAID, part of the National Institutes of Health, to do gain-of-function research with coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”<\/p>\n

You know that Rand Paul, Senator Paul, was talking to “the Fauch” about this. Before we get to the Fauch — and the fact that he continued to fall back on a lawyer trick, which is a very carefully worded statement. Make sure that you don\u2019t fall afoul of perjury while you are lying, is the way I see it. Let\u2019s present the following thought scenario. We\u2019re in a meeting room in Washington, D.C. The best and the brightest are sitting around the table.<\/p>\n
And the best and the brightest are the people, experts at infectious diseases and biological warfare and chemical warfare. They\u2019re presenting the work of the Chinese Communist Party to commit to total war, which would include things like that biological and chemical warfare and using tools like domestic terror groups (laughing) in the United States in order to destroy the United States of America.<\/p>\n
And they\u2019re committed to this path of understanding biological warfare better than any nation, and they\u2019re in this meeting group in a meeting room in Washington, D.C. And someone says, “You know, I think we should work with them.” In the real world, if you were to say, “I think we should partner with the Chinese Communist Party,” a lot of people\u2019d say, “Huh! What are you, an NBA player?”<\/p>\n
So yesterday in D.C., during a Senate hearing, Tony Fauci testified. During the Q&A, Senator Rand Paul says, “For years, Dr. Ralph Baric, a virologist in the U.S., has been collaborating with Dr. Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Virology Institute sharing his discoveries about how to create super viruses. This gain-of-function research has been funded by the NIH.” Fauci and Paul then continue with this…<\/p>\n
PAUL: Government scientists like yourself who favor gain-of-function research —<\/p>\n
FAUCI: I don\u2019t favor gain-of-function research!<\/p>\n
PAUL: — maintain that the disease arose naturally.<\/p>\n
