« That was joint research between the Wuhan Institute and Dr. Baric. You can’t deny it, » Paul said when countering Fauci’s denials.
Sen. Rand Paul blasted Dr. Anthony Fauci for denying that funding for the Wuhan lab that experimented with bat-based coronaviruses came from his department at the National Institutes of Health. “Gain of function research, as you know, is juicing up naturally occurring animal viruses to infect humans. To arrive at the truth, the U.S. government should admit that the Wuhan Virology Institute was experimenting to enhance the coronavirus’s ability to infect humans,” Paul said during the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions hearing on Tuesday.
