🧵THREAD: Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top-paid US federal employee, has developed bioweapons for the Pentagon since 2002. In 2014, Obama shut down 18 of Fauci's gain-of-function experiments after lab leaks, and 300 top scientists complained about his dangerous bioweapons research.

#2 @RobertKennedyJr tells @jimmy_dore: "They took the money that Cheney gave them [from the Patriot Act], $2.2 billion, and they funneled it through NIH, and it all went through Anthony Fauci. So beginning in 2002, Anthony Fauci got a 68% raise from the Pentagon for doing… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#3 @RobertKennedyJr tells @jimmy_dore that the CIA, DOD, and Dr. Anthony Fauci moved their bioweapons research to the Wuhan lab after Obama shut them down:

"Fauci funded the study that taught the Chinese military scientists, everything in China is dual-use, that lab is a… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#4 @RobertKennedyJr tells @jimmy_dore anthrax was mailed to the two senators trying to block the Patriot Act in 2001, and the FBI discovered that the anthrax came from the CIA lab in Fort Detrick:

#5 By 2003, the Bush administration was requesting $2 billion in the annual budget for biodefense, and President George W. Bush announced in his State of the Union address an additional $6 billion for Project Bioshield:

#6 The Los Angeles Times noted that the "non-military biodefense research budget" increased from $60 million in 2001 to $317 million in 2002, and the Bush administration was now requesting $2 billion for 2003, which exceeded the combined research budgets latimes.com/archives/la-xp…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#7 From archived versions of the NIAID's Biodefense website, Dr. Anthony Fauci details how the Patriot Act placed him on top of the nation's biodefense infrastructure:

#8 In Dec. 2002, Dr. Anthony Fauci described how the distinction between "bioweapons" and "biodefense" does not exist, as later demonstrated by his gain-of-function research:

#9 How Dick Cheney created Anthony Fauci | @unherd

"With the stroke of Bush and Cheney’s pen, all United States biodefense efforts, classified or unclassified, were placed under the aegis of Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Fauci now had a virtual carte blanche to not unherd.com/2022/08/how-di…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#10 "It’s this that explains one of the most bewildering irregularities surrounding Anthony Fauci: his compensation.

As widely reported, Fauci is the highest-paid member of the federal government, out-earning the President, four-star generals, senators, unherd.com/2022/08/how-di…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#11 Dr. Fauci was approved for a “permanent pay adjustment” in December 2004 to “appropriately compensate him for the level of responsibility… especially as it relates to his work on biodefense research activities.”

From 2004 through 2007, Fauci received openthebooks.com/assets/1/6/NIH…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#12 In 2014, reports of high-profile lab blunders at US government labs involving anthrax, bird flu, and smallpox hit the press:

#13 More than 300 top scientists penned an open letter demanding that President Barack Obama shut down Dr. Anthony Fauci's dangerous gain-of-function research.

The authors included four Noble Laureates and scientists from Harvard, Stanford, John Hopkins, web.archive.org/web/2014083018…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#14 In Oct. 2014, President Obama announced a pause on Dr. Anthony Fauci's dangerous gain-of-function experiments.

#15 Like @RobertKennedyJr told @jimmy_dore, Obama's moratorium paused eighteen gain-of-function experiments, according to the NIH.

#16 Dr. Anthony Fauci's NIAID sent 18 letters to 14 institutions telling them to halt their gain-of-function experiments.

#17 After the pause on gain-of-function research, Dr. Anthony Fauci, USAID (CIA), DOD, and other US government agencies worked with Dr. Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance and Dr. Ralph Baric to transfer Fauci's coronavirus research to Dr. Shi Zhengli at the pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26552008… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#18 That's why Senator @RandPaul accused Dr. Fauci of funding “supervirus” research in the US and “making a huge mistake” by trading the know-how to China.

Fauci denied the accusation, stating categorically: “The NIH has not ever, and does not now, fund gain-of-function research… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#19 But even Dr. Robert Redfield, the former CDC Director, told congress last week that he believes Dr. Anthony Fauci used American taxpayer dollars to fund the bioweapons research that created COVID-19:

"I think it did — not only from NIH but from the State Department, USAID,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#20 And that's why @RobertKennedyJr told @jimmy_dore that Dr. Anthony Fauci has been the 'American Czar of Bioweapons' since 2002.
