Dr. Anthony Fauci <\/a>deserves to be indicted \u2014 but he probably won\u2019t be, because his role in the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic that he fought so hard to cover up opens a can of worms that nobody wants to confront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has his great patron Joe Biden\u2019s blanket preemptive pardon<\/a> to keep him safe from federal charges. But the recent indictment of his former factotum David Morens on federal charges of conspiracy and records destruction<\/a> for scheming to cover up Fauci\u2019s role in funding the risky gain-of-function research on bat viruses at the notorious Wuhan lab in China, where the COVID-19 outbreak almost certainly began, has raised hopes that Fauci is still in the crosshairs of the DOJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Trump has declared Biden\u2019s last-minute autopen pardon of Fauci invalid<\/a>, which would make it possible that he could be prosecuted for perjury over his 2024 testimony to Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even if that gambit doesn\u2019t work, Fauci\u2019s nemesis, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, has been busily building a case to subpoena the slippery scientist for another round of questioning under oath, in which he will have to come clean about his role in funding the dangerous research in the Wuhan lab via an EcoHealth Alliance cutout, and his surreptitious efforts to discredit the \u201clab leak\u201d theory that would have exposed his culpability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any testimony after January 2025 is fair game for perjury charges.in the Trump admin \u2013 and making himself a serious candidate for prez in 2028<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fauci\u2019s boss, Francis Collins, didn\u2019t receive an autopen pardon, so he also is fair game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there is the bombshell testimony last week from CIA whistleblower James Erdman<\/a>, who alleged a multi-agency cover-up involving Fauci, who was then the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDr. Fauci\u2019s role in the cover-up was intentional,\u201d Erdman testified, alleging that Fauci inserted himself into CIA deliberations about the origins of the virus \u2014 once on Feb. 3, 2020, and again on June 4, 2021 \u2014 to try to influence the analysis away from the lab-leak hypothesis that most CIA analysts were leaning toward and instead persuade them to accept the farcical \u201cnatural origins\u201d narrative, in which the virus bubbled up from an animal in a wet market fully adapted to infect humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Erdman, Fauci provided the intelligence community with \u201ca conflicted list of curated subject matter experts, public health officials and scientists,\u201d several of whom were involved in publishing the notorious discredited Nature Medicine paper, \u201cThe proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2,\u201d which dismissed the accidental lab leak theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea of an accidental lab leak in Wuhan has always been regarded by honest virologists as the most scientifically plausible explanation<\/a>. As Professor Nikolai Petrovsky from Flinders University in South Australia told me in 2021<\/a>, he was surprised, as were other scientists, when it appeared that the very first strains of COVID-19 isolated in December 2019 showed that \u201cthe virus was already perfectly adapted to infect and transmit between human hosts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other scientists have pointed out that COVID-19 has a genetic footprint never observed in a natural coronavirus, and that its immediate contagiousness to humans suggests it was man-made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
