🚨DR. FAUCI TRANSCRIPT RELEASE🚨

Today, @COVIDSelect released the transcript from Dr. Anthony Fauci's two-day, 14-hour transcribed interview. On Monday, Dr. Fauci will testify publicly for the first time since retirement.

Key takeaways from his closed-door testimony🧵👇

✔️SOCIAL DISTANCING: The “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation forced on Americans by federal health officials was arbitrary and not based on science.

Dr. Fauci testified that this guidance “sort of just appeared.”

✔️MASKING: Dr. Fauci testified that he did not recall any supporting evidence for masking children.

Mask-wearing has been associated with severe learning loss and speech development issues in America’s children.

✔️TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS: Dr. Fauci unequivocally agreed with EVERY travel restriction issued by the Trump Administration at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

✔️VACCINE MANDATES: Dr. Fauci admitted that vaccine mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic could increase vaccine hesitancy in the future.

He also claimed that these mandates were not sufficiently studied.

✔️LAB LEAK THEORY: Dr. Fauci acknowledged that the lab leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory.

This comes roughly four years after he prompted the publication of “Proximal Origin” — a paper which attempted to vilify and disprove the lab leak hypothesis.

✔️GAIN-OF-FUNCTION RESEARCH: Dr. Fauci repeatedly played semantics with the definition of “gain-of-function” research.

This appears to be an effort to avoid conceding that the NIH funded this dangerous research in China.

✔️CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: Dr. Fauci claimed his staff had no conflicts of interest regarding the origins of COVID-19. Yet, his Senior Advisor was “best-friends” with the disgraced President of EcoHealth Alliance.

It is highly unlikely Dr. Fauci was unaware of this relationship.

✔️GRANT APPROVAL PROCESS: Dr. Fauci testified that he signed off on every foreign and domestic NIAID grant without reviewing the proposals.

He was also unable to confirm if NIAID has ANY mechanisms to conduct oversight of the foreign labs they fund.

✔️FEIGNED IGNORANCE: Dr. Fauci claimed he “did not recall” numerous issues & events surrounding the pandemic more than 100 times.

For example, Dr. Fauci testified that he did not recall details about EcoHealth Alliance's controversial grant, which operated under his jurisdiction.
