Senator Rand Paul says “The preponderance of evidence now points towards this coming from the lab, and what you’ve done is change the definition on your website to try to cover your ass, basically." Senator Paul continues "That’s what you’ve done, you’ve changed the website to try to have a new definition that doesn’t include the risky research that’s going on. Until you admit that it’s risky, we’re not going to get anywhere. You have to admit that this research was risky."

Stella Moris: "Julian Assange is being punished for performing a public service that we have all benefited from. He is in prison because he informed you of actual crimes and atrocities being committed by a foreign power. That foreign power has ripped away his freedom..." Stella Moris: “…and has torn our family apart. That power wants to put him in incommunicado detention in the deepest darkest hole of its prison system for the rest of his life. Julian faces a 175 year prison sentence."

"Any increase in highly pathogenic CoV [coronavirus] virulence, pathogenesis, or transmission would likely require a targeted medical countermeasure."
-Allison L. Totura & Sina Bavari (2019) Broad-spectrum coronavirus antiviral drug discovery, Expert Opinion on Drug Discovery "Currently, public health measures have been adequate to stymie the spread of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV primarily due to disease surveillance coupled with viruses with limited person-to-person transmission."- Allison L Totura & Sina Bavari (2019)

Dr Fauci said "Senator Paul you do not know what you're talking about. If anybody's lying here, senator, it is you." Fauci is now caught like a rat in a trap after NIH admitted that, just as Rand Paul said, NIH was funding gain of function research, through contractor EcoHealth. Rand Paul: "There’s a scientist from MIT who wrote an OpEd in The Washington Post..saying that basically this is the kind of experimentation that could lead to the end of a civilization..yet we still have Fauci saying ‘Oh we need to keep funding the research in a lab in China.'"

@washingtonpost Since, "This assessment is based on information through August 2021," it would not reflect any consideration of NIH's admission that they funded gain of function research at WIV,which NIH claims contractor EcoHealth didn't tell them about, since that was only revealed Oct 20 2021 @washingtonpost "The WIV previously created chimera, or combinations, of SARS-like coronaviruses, but this information does not provide insight into whether SARS-COV-2 was genetically engineered by the WIV."

Clare Daly: "Es un crimen que tengamos que estar aquí para apoyar a la persona que más que nadie ha expuesto los crímenes de guerra estadounidenses en Afganistán e Irak. Los criminales salen libres y Julian Assange es perseguido. Eso es un crimen." (traducción) Clare Daly:Es un crimen que [Assange] esté siendo juzgado bajo un tratado de extradición negociado por el criminal de guerra Tony Blair para el criminal de guerra George Bush para que los argumentos políticos no puedan ser escuchados porque esta es una persecución política (trad)

Clare Daly: "For us to be here is both a crime and an honor. It’s a crime that we have to be here in support of the person who more than anyone else has exposed US war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq. The criminals walk free and Julian Assange is persecuted. That is a crime."

Why would Dr Collins and Dr Fauci lie about NIH funding gain of function research? There are 4,971,447 reasons why: that's the number of COVID-19 deaths globally. NIH pandemic research can't be ruled out as source of COVID-19, whether a zoonotic or virus generated in the lab. Dr Fauci denied NIH funded gain of function research. But NIH has admitted it now. NIH Director Dr Collins has announced his retirement.Not Fauci. SARS-CoV-2 could be zoonotic or it could be a lab-generated virus but NIH-funded pandemic research can't be ruled out as its source.

@MaxBlumenthal NIH's admission “laboratory mice infected with SHC014 WIV 1 bat coronavirus became sicker than those infected with WIV 1 bat coronavirus,” is clearly increased virulence and directly contradicts NIAID Director Dr Fauci's sworn testimony. NIH funded gain of function research. @MaxBlumenthal Gain of function involves pathogenesis, increased virulence and/or increased transmissibility. The fact that the virus made mice sicker is increased virulence and is definitely gain of function, which Dr Fauci denied in sworn testimony in May and July.

There have been 4,947,454 COVID-19 deaths globally. COVID could rival the Holocaust in 6 months. NIH admits gain of function, but claims it wasn't SARS-COV-2. SARS-COV-2 entering the human population from NIH pandemic research as a zoonotic virus or lab leak can't be ruled out Dr. Fauci earned $434,312 in 2020 vs $282,000 for a 4-star general and $400,000 for Biden. Between 2004 and 2007, Fauci got a 68% pay raise to “appropriately compensate him for the level of responsibility… especially as it relates to his work on biodefense research activities."

"We need to be wary of the current outbreak turning into a sustained epidemic or even a pandemic." wrote Drs Wang, Horby, Hayden, Gao, "A novel coronavirus epidemic of global health concern," The Lancet, Jan 24, 2020

Dr Fauci said "very very low risk to the US" Jan 26 2020 Dr Anthony Fauci said “People should not be walking around with masks.”
Dr Jon LaPook asked “You sure of it, because people are listening really closely to this.”
Dr Fauci responded “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask”

NIH changed their website to replace "gain of function" (GOF) with "enhanced potential pandemic pathogens" (ePPP). On limited occasions, when justified by compelling public health need and conducted in very high biosecurity laboratories, NIH has supported certain research that may be reasonably anticipated to create, transfer or use potential pandemic pathogens..."

@EricTopol @ScottGottliebMD "The [Massachusetts] study was quickly picked up by 3-feet spacing advocates. But...confidence intervals were so large in the analysis that 6 feet of distancing could have decreased case rates as much as 47 percent compared with 3 feet..."--Beth Mole, Ars Technica Mar 19 @EricTopol @ScottGottliebMD Research indicating that aerosols rather than droplets are at play with COVID-19 would tend to suggest neither 3 ft nor 6 ft distancing is adequate to protect kids in school. CDC shouldn't be jumping all over a study they claim shows not much difference in their rush to reopen.
