Rand Paul: Fauci intimidates scientists from contradicting him because 'he controls all the funding'
Fox News
Sen. Rand Paul, R-KY, alleged on "Fox News Primetime" that scientists who have come to disparate conclusions about COVID-19 or activity at the Wuhan lab than Dr. Anthony Fauci are silent because Fauci controls their funding.
The senator went on to urge Fauci, the head of the National Institutes of Allergy & Infectious Disease, to reconsider prior testimony denying NIAID or NIH's particular funding endeavors at the Wuhan lab; where many believe COVID-19 originated – citing federal perjury laws. Paul reacted further to Fauci's behavior and doubled down on his assertion that the 80-year-old Brooklyn, N.Y. native is not letting on as much as he should be on the topic of gain-of-function research funding. He said he read the NIH's definition of gain-of-function research, as well as a scholarly paper from a cellular biology expert working at Rutgers University in New Jersey, which described Wuhan lab official Dr. Shi Zhengli's work as the textbook definition of such experimentation.
