MEGHAN MCCAIN: Surely, the lapdog media can’t ignore evidence Fauci lied about COVID’s origins 

For too long, America’s doctor, Tony Fauci, has been beyond reproach to the mainstream media and Democrats in Congress.

Like convicted swindler Michael Avenatti or failed New York governor/nursing home destroyer Andrew Cuomo reporters and left-wing politicians found him too valuable to undermine.

He gave countless interviews extoling the wisdom of lockdowns. His face graced the cover of Time magazine. He expertly skewered Donald Trump. They loved that. One left-wing paper even declared him the ‘sexiest man alive.’

To them – Fauci surely could do no wrong. Though now, it’s hard to see how they’ll completely ignore this smoking gun.

On Sunday, a new Republican House investigation dropped a bombshell. And Dr. Anthony Fauci has some explaining to do.

House Republicans found evidence suggesting the former White House chief medical adviser secretly encouraged medical researchers to write an academic paper dismissing the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a Chinese lab. Then, Saint Anthony stood at the White House podium, before the American people, in the depths of the pandemic, and said that he had nothing to do with it.

Strange? Yes, I’d say so.

Here’s the timeline as laid out by a House Republican memo:

On February 1, 2020, Fauci and more than a dozen other scientists held a conference call during which he was first warned that COVID-19 may have been a man-made virus that leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

Three days later, four participants of that call drafted a paper on the origins of COVID and sent it to Fauci and others for ‘editing and approval’, according to the House investigators.

House Republicans found evidence suggesting the former White House chief medical adviser secretly encouraged medical researchers to write an academic paper dismissing the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a Chinese lab.

On February 12, 2020, the article was pushed to the science journal, Nature. It blew off the claim that COVID had been leaked from a lab as, ‘improbable.’ And it was accompanied by an illuminating note by its co-author, who revealed the paper was ‘prompted’ by none other than Fauci and others.

But curiously, here’s how Fauci presented that paper’s finding to White House reporters on April 17, 2020, when he was asked if COVID could have come from a Chinese lab.

‘There was a study recently,’ he said, ‘where a group of highly qualified evolutionary virologists looked at the sequences… in bats as they evolve and the mutations that it took to get to the point where it is now is totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human…’

Translation: COVID couldn’t have leaked from a lab because it occurred naturally.

And the kicker: ‘So, the paper will be available,’ Fauci reassured the reporters. ‘I don’t have the authors right now, but we can make it available to you.’

‘I don’t have the authors right now’?

It appears Fauci not only knew the authors – he directed them. So, why would he hide this fact?

Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has a theory. ‘We now know there was U.S. money funding the research that was taking place inside that [Wuhan] laboratory, and I think Dr. Fauci… knew that…,’ said Pompeo on Fox News Sunday this weekend.

‘Three years ago, I was on ‘ABC’, and said, hey, I think this looks like it came from Wuhan Institute of Virology and [Dr. Fauci and others] went full battle stations. I think they were fearful that the facts that we now know would be true, that they would have some complicity in what took place there.’

It’s a stunning allegation from a former secretary of state.

Let’s be clear, Pompeo is alleging that the top White House COVID adviser was purposefully obscuring the origins of the pandemic, because his fingerprints were all over it.

As director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Fauci was responsible for U.S. taxpayer grants that funded research into coronavirus in Asia and at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Now, Fauci’s actions certainly appear unethical. But more than anything else, this is a glaring red warning sign. What was he so desperate to hide that he was willing to mislead the public?

Without a doubt, more than three years after the pandemic struck, America has not come to grips with the depths of our public health failures.

Just last week, medical science experts from Harvard, Johns Hopkins and Stanford testified in front of Congress and said, ‘The greatest perpetrator of misinformation during the pandemic has been the United States government.’

Another jaw-dropping claim, but undoubtedly true.

Remember being told that it’s not permissible to sit on a park bench because COVID is spread on surfaces? Remember being told to donate your masks to medical professionals and then being told that masks are the only thing that will save your life? Remember being told that we must keep kids out of school because they are vectors of disease, and as a result they suffered generational learning loss?

And still, we’re trafficking in politics and virtue-signaling rather than truth and scientific fact.

The world number one tennis star, Novak Djokovic, has formally withdrawn himself from the upcoming BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells in California – after he was denied entry to the U.S. because he’s not vaccinated.

Nearly everyone in America has either recovered from COVID and/or received a vaccine and endless boosters and we’re still requiring healthy adults to be vaccinated? Surely, we’re reached herd immunity. And haven’t we learned that borders cannot stop a virus? As the kids say – make it make sense.

We cannot continue to allow partisanship to compromise public health. If public health officials lied to us then they must be held to account. The Democratically controlled Senate should join with the House investigation.

And my question for Fauci is simple: Did you or did you not lie about your involvement in the drafting of an article that dismissed the idea that COVID-19 leaked from a Chinese lab?

Haul him before Congress and ask him because we deserve answers!
