It’s bad enough that Anthony Fauci and other top officials flouted the law by funding gain-of-function research at the China Institute of Virology in Wuhan, where the COVID virus is believed to have originated.
But their attempt to cover it all up only deepened the horror, making it harder for honest researchers to understand the origins of the virus.
Now that everything is out in the open, these officials must pay.
At a House hearing last week, emails revealed that a key Fauci aide at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. David Morens, used a “back channel” to hide the proof that a beneficiary had funded the dangerous research.
Morens bragged about deleting “irrefutable” posts related to the origins of COVID – in blatant disregard of record-keeping laws and in an effort to obstruct a House investigation – to protect Fauci and others. other colleagues.
He also used a private email address to avoid Freedom of Information Act requests.
In a September 2021 message, Morens noted that he would “always communicate on Gmail because my NIH email is constantly FOIA” and that he would “delete anything I don’t want to see in the New York Times.”
In a February 2021 email, he wrote that he “learned from our faith (sic) lady here, how to make emails disappear after my faith.
Could the evidence of a cover-up be more blatant?
A 35-page memo written by the majority staff of a House subcommittee directly accuses Fauci himself of participating in “a conspiracy among the highest levels” of the agency to “cover up” and potentially ” destroy official documents regarding the origins of COVID-19.”
What were Fauci & Co. trying to hide?
Clearly, the NIH had provided grants used for very dangerous laboratory work, which involves making viruses more contagious to humans in order to facilitate the development of vaccines in advance.
This means that American taxpayers unwittingly helped fund the type of research that allegedly led to the germ that has killed more than 7 million people around the world.
It has also crippled economies, costing the planet trillions; led to school closures that stunted educational progress; and has adversely affected mental and physical health in fundamental ways that are not yet fully understood or recognized.
Fauci, his boss at the NIH, Francis Collins, and their friends at EcoHealth, which was behind the research, were desperate to keep this a secret.
Indeed, the cover-up began even before the real pandemic broke out: in February 2020, Fauci and Collins “instigated” the publication of a scientific paper intended specifically to “refute” suspicions that COVID came from this laboratory.
Fauci then cited the article as proof that the lab leak theory was false and claimed he had nothing to do with it.
House Republicans are weighing whether to recommend criminal charges against Morens. GOOD.
But each of these senior officials involved in the cover-up And financing must pay a high price.
