Rand Paul accuses Fauci of engaging in 'cover-up' of COVID origins as House GOP embarks on probe
Dr. Anthony Fauci, former chief medical adviser to the president, was engaged in an "elaborate cover-up" of the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sen. Rand Paul said Tuesday as the GOP-led House of Representatives is set to embark on a select committee investigation into the contagion.
Paul, a medical doctor of ophthalmology who has sparred with Fauci several times in Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearings, told "The Story" that Fauci's behind-the-scenes behavior in an alleged cover-up began in January 2020. Fauci is also the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
"The reason Dr. Fauci didn't want any attention drawn to this or to his funding of the lab is that ultimately he would have culpability," Paul said.
"There's a responsibility – because for years he had advocated for gain-of-function research. He's even quoted as saying in 2012, if a pandemic should occur, if a scientist should be bitten by an animal and the virus gets out of the lab, it would be worth the knowledge."
The 2012 statement for a U.S. microbiology society was unearthed years later by an Australian publication, quoting Fauci as saying, in-part, "In an unlikely but conceivable turn of events, what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic? … Scientists working in this field might say – as indeed I have said – that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks."
"Dr. Fauci and Dr. Collins and others orchestrated a cover-up. There are emails between [former National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Dr. Francis] Collins and Dr. Fauci in which Dr. Collins says this wouldn't be good for China, this wouldn't be good for science – meaning that it wouldn't be good for the business of science, for the money that changes hands," Paul said.....

Fauci lied and people died. Senator Paul is 100% correct. The smoking gun is the Furin cleavage site in the COVID virus. If you want to understand the evidence for lab leak vs natural origin you should read Nicholas Wade's article. \
