Sen. Rand Paul Again Destroyed by Dr. Fauci's Testimony and It's What He Deserves
You know its a good day when Dr. Anthony Fauci destroys Sen. Rand Paul on live television. The latter has been peddling this false narrativeno, the Senator has been straight-up lying as a means of getting the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to admit that they played a crucial role in the development of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, which they havent done at all.
Dr. Fauci, who is the White House chief medical advisor and the director of NIH, was testifying before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. And in discussing the origins of COVID-19, Paul showed all of us his hand and how he knows basically nothing about virology, by doubling down on a conspiracy theory that COVID-19 was a result of gain-of-function research.
According to The Hill, Paul said, the NIH funded illegal gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology that supposedly, in turn, created a dangerous and transmissible virus with the capability of infecting humans. This isnt the first time that Paul has made this accusation, and it wont be the last if we know anything about Paul and his insistence that there is some big conspiracy when it comes to COVID-19.
And on Tuesday, Paul took it a step too far, making Fauci snap in a way Ive never seen him do before. Honestly, Fauci looked a bit angry, which isnt a bad thing considering the circumstances. Give me a chance here to explain. According to News Medical, Gain-of-function research refers to the serial passaging of microorganisms to increase their transmissibility, virulence, immunogenicity, and host tropism by applying selective pressure to a culture.
