Alleged evidence is mounting against Dr. Anthony Fauci, including that he ‘influenced’ the CIA’s review on the origins of COVID-19.
Dr. Anthony Fauci was “escorted” into CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, “without a record of entry,” and “influenced” the agency’s review of the origins of COVID-19, House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) has claimed.
In a Sept. 26 statement, Mr. Wenstrup said the new alleged evidence obtained by the panel adds to further alleged evidence slowly mounting against Dr. Fauci, who served as the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the head of then-President Donald Trump’s COVID-19 response team.
This includes recent whistleblower testimony acquired by the panel alleging that the CIA “potentially skewed its COVID-19 origins review by offering six analysts significant financial incentives to conclude that the result of its investigation was inconclusive,” Mr. Wenstrup said.
It also includes recently uncovered evidence that Dr. Fauci “prompted” the drafting of a paper titled “The Proximal Origins of SARS-CoV-2,” which was published in Nature Medicine in March 2020 and was heavily cited by experts and officials as evidence that COVID-19 didn’t originate from a lab leak.
The paper, which has been accessed more than 5.8 million times and cited more than 2,800 times, stated that SARS-CoV-2 was “not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus” but likely evolved naturally.
This mounting evidence, Mr. Wenstrup said, “lends credence to heightened concerns about the promotion of a false COVID-19 origins narrative by multiple federal government agencies.”
“According to information gathered by the Select Subcommittee, Dr. Anthony Fauci, then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, played a role in the Central Intelligence Agency’s review of the origins of COVID-19,” the Ohio Republican said in the statement. “The information provided suggests that Dr. Fauci was escorted into Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Headquarters—without a record of entry—and participated in the analysis to ‘influence’ the Agency’s review.”
