HUGE! — RAT IN A TRAP: Fauci Admits COVID May Have Been from a Lab — ADMITS TO FUNDING CHINESE LABS! (VIDEO)

Looks to me like Fauci is being driven back step by step/

The Rat-in-a-Trap Dr. Fauci finally admitted in his latest flip-flop that the COVID-19 virus may not have occurred naturally.

Fauci made the comments on far-left Politifact channel, an organization that itself has been pushing fake news on the COVID crisis for over a year.

Politifact hack: Sen. Rand Paul, who you have tangled with in the past, suggested that you and the NIH funded risky research that eventually down the line was connected to COVID-19? I don’t want to dwell on this for too long but I do want to give you that chance to react to his comments today.

Dr. Fauci: That’s actually preposterous. To bring something up is really not helpful. He was saying that we funded a kind of research in China that could lead to dangerous research. That’s not the case. So what he was saying was absolutely not true. It is really unfortunate that he brought that up. It really does nothing but cloud the issue of what we are trying to do. So it was just unfortunate that he said that.

Politifact hack: That has been the subject for a lot of our fact-checking on the coronavirus for the past year. There’s a lot of cloudiness around the origins of COVID-19 still. So I wanted to ask are you still confident that COVID developed naturally?

Dr. Fauci: No actually, that’s the point that I said. And I think that the real unfortunate aspect of what Senator Paul did was he was conflating research in a collaborative way with Chinese scientists which was — you’d almost have to say that if we did not do that then we’d be almost irresponsible because SARS-COVI-1 clearly originated in China… So we really had to learn a whole lot about the viruses that were there, about whether or not people were getting infected with bad viruses. So in a very minor collaboration as part of a sub-contract as part of a grant, we had a collaboration with some Chinese scientists. And what he conflated that was that we were involved in creating the virus. Which is the most ridiculous majestic leap I’ve ever heard of. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

There it is.
Fauci just admitted:
** The virus may not have originated naturally — something he refuted earlier until now
** The US DID FUND Chinese research at the Wuhan Labs
** The US funded this research through NIH grants under his leadership

This was right after he accused Senator Paul of lying about this collaboration.

We now know that Senator Paul was 100% correct on his assertions during his Senate testimony.
And we now know that Dr. Anthony Fauci LIED under oath.

Fauci funded the Wuhan labs that leaked the COVID-19 virus and then shut down the US economy after the virus came to America.
It is hard to fathom how much damage this one man did to our country — and then lied about if for months.

And, for the record, Rand Paul brought the receipts.

HERE IS THE DOCUMENT

Following recent biosafety incidents at Federal research facilities, the U.S. Government has taken a number of steps to promote and enhance the Nation’s biosafety and biosecurity, including immediate and longer term measures to review activities specifically related to the storage and handling of infectious agents. 

As part of this review, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and Department of Health and Human Services today announced that the U.S. Government is launching a deliberative process to assess the potential risks and benefits associated with a subset of life sciences research known as “gain-of-function” studies. With an ultimate goal of better understanding disease pathways, gain-of-function studies aim to increase the ability of infectious agents to cause disease by enhancing its pathogenicity or by increasing its transmissibility.

Because the deliberative process launching today will aim to address key questions about the risks and benefits of gain-of-function studies, during the period of deliberation, the U.S. Government will institute a pause on funding for any new studies that include certain gain-of-function experiments involving influenza, SARS, and MERS viruses. Specifically, the funding pause will apply to gain-of-function research projects that may be reasonably anticipated to confer attributes to influenza, MERS, or SARS viruses such that the virus would have enhanced pathogenicity and/or transmissibility in mammals via the respiratory route.

During this pause, the U.S. Government will not fund any new projects involving these experiments and encourages those currently conducting this type of work – whether federally funded or not – to voluntarily pause their research while risks and benefits are being reassessed. The funding pause will not apply to the characterization or testing of naturally occurring influenza, MERS, and SARS viruses unless there is a reasonable expectation that these tests would increase transmissibility or pathogenicity. 

The deliberative process will involve two distinct but complementary entities: the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) and the National Research Council (NRC) of the National Academies.

The NSABB will serve as the official Federal advisory body for providing advice on oversight of this area of dual-use research, in keeping with Federal rules and regulations. The NSABB will meet on October 22, 2014, to debate the issues and begin the process of developing recommendations.

Early-on in the deliberative process, the NRC will be asked to convene a scientific symposium focused on the issues associated with gain-of-function research. The NRC will also hold a second symposium later in the deliberative process, which will include a discussion of the NSABB’s draft recommendations regarding gain-of-function research. 

The NSABB, informed by discussion at the NRC public consultations, will provide recommendations to the heads of all federal entities that conduct, support, or have an interest in life sciences research.  The final NSABB recommendations as well as the outcomes of the NRC conferences will inform the development and adoption of a new U.S. Government policy regarding gain-of-function research. 

The broader life-sciences community will be encouraged to provide input through both the NRC and NSABB deliberative processes. The funding pause will end when the U.S. government has adopted a Federal policy regarding gain-of-function studies on the basis of the deliberative process described above, which is expected to occur 2015.

Where will F auci be in 6 months?

He is trying the trusted  Democrat Party  method of lying to get them out of trouble when caught red-handed .    

What did the contracts between his organization and the Wuhan  Laboratory actually entailed leading to the re-routing of  US funds to the laboratory actually entailed?   Fir what reasons were the laboratory used,   

Lets be plain Faucci  must  think  we all are stupid.   Why should research be done in Wuhan which could have been  done in the USA?    Gain of function studies were the only aspect Obama mentioned - so that could not be done in the USA  and that was why he and a few others sent the money to Wuhan.   

He should be sent to an asylum for the criminally insane. 

Just remember that SB - the repeater of conspiracy theories  when his heroes are in deep shit  - now think about the situation..

Newsmax reports:

Shortly after Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., grilled a squirming Dr. Anthony Fauci during a Senate hearing on gain of function research, Wuhan Institute of Virology funding, and a potential for a lab accident, Fauci quietly offered some stunning admissions to Politifact.

First, he now admits he is "not convinced" COVID-19 developed naturally; second, perhaps equally alarmingly, he admits the U.S. engaged with and helped fund Chinese scientists on studying coronaviruses.

"No, I am not convinced about that [COVID-19 having a natural origin]," Fauci told Politifact's Katie Sanders at a virtual event called "United Facts of America: A Festival of Fact-Checking" (around 11 minutes in).

"I think we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we continue to find out to the best of our ability what happened.

"Certainly, the people who investigated it say it likely was the emergence from an animal reservoir that then infected individuals, but it could have been something else, and we need to find that out. So, you know, that's the reason why I said I'm perfectly in favor of any investigation that looks into the origin of the virus."

That latter point did echo Fauci's comments to Paul during Senate testimony, but coincidentally, a Politifact forum actually did not fact check Fauci on some other admissions that did not jibe with his Senate testimony in the exchange with Paul.

Paul grilled Fauci on whether the U.S. helped fund and research coronaviruses with China, and Fauci admitted to precisely that, suggesting it would be "irresponsible" to not have done it.

"No actually, that's the point that I said," Fauci said of the need to investigate the origins of COVID-19, "and I think the real unfortunate aspect of what Sen. Paul did is he conflating research in a collaborative way with Chinese scientists, which is you almost have to say, if we did not do that, we would almost be irresponsible, because SARS-CoV-1 clearly originated in China and we were fortunate to escape a major pandemic.

"So we really had to learn a lot more about the viruses that were there. About whether or not people were getting infected with bat viruses."

Paul suggested Fauci was helping fund "gain of function research," which Fauci "categorically" denied, but Fauci conflated Paul's questions on gain of function to suggest the U.S. had no role, or funding, in researching coronavirus infections with Chinese scientists, which Fauci just admitted to above.

He also admitted to Politifact, the U.S. did help fund Wuhan coronavirus research with "Chinese scientists" – albeit with a verbal slip saying "Chinese Communist."

"So, on a very minor collaboration as part of a sub-contract of a grant, we had a collaboration with some Chinese Communist . . . Chinese scientists," Fauci told Politifact. "What he conflated with that is that we were involved in creating the virus, which is the most ridiculous, majestic leap I have ever heard of."

Paul's questioning was not accusing the U.S of creating the virus – as Fauci himself conflated – but suggesting National Institutes of Health and Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infections Disease indirectly helped fund gain of function research in China that might have created it.

A true fact check from a Politifact forum: Mixed.

The U.S. funded research, yes, but what kind, Fauci says, still needs to be investigated. Ostensibly, he is not entirely aware of what studies the NIH funds might have been used for, and he would like to know.

If you believe anything that comes out of the USA - You are wasting your own time and energy.

The only ones that actually believe their bullshit are the Americans themselves.

Remember the Nazis - Well the Americans are very similar - So far up their own arses - Don't believe anything - You can trust that lot as much as a dirty turd in a toilet. 

Lol Canterbury

I like your style. 

Do stick around.
