Anthony Fauci is defending his name before Congress today in response to allegations that he covered up the US government’s role in funding gain-of-function research in China that’s potentially linked to the outbreak of covid.
“Under my leadership, we were well positioned to respond to Covid-19,” the former director of the NIAID claimed in his opening remarks, touting his involvement with the response to HIV/AIDS. “The accusation being circulated that I influenced the scientists to change their minds [about lab leak] by bribing them with millions of dollars in grant money is absolutely false, and simply preposterous.”

It comes after unearthed emails revealed an explicit effort to delete emails to protect Fauci. A lab leak vibe shift appears to be well underway.
