Sen. Rand Paul Says COVID Lab Leak-Denying Doctor Should NOT Be WHO’s Top Scientist

After a U.S. Department of Energy Report, it appears that COVID was likely a virus from Wuhan in China.

Other disturbing reports have emerged since then that shed light on who and what said it.

The government’s leading infectious disease expert and recently retired doctor, Anthony Fauci, has long promoted the belief that the virus evolved naturally. Fauci referenced a study nearly three years back that showed the virus had mutations. “consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human.”

“There was a study recently,” Fauci said to reporters, April 17, 2020, that it is possible for the virus to have come from China when he was asked about this possibility by reporters. “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.”

“So, the paper will be available. I don’t have the authors right now, but we can make it available to you,” Fauci said.

House Republicans now have new emails which reveal an entirely different story. Fauci was notified in the emails. “prompted” That very study proved that the virus was not leaked from Wuhan. He actually had the final approval of The New York Post’s scientific paper, which he had ordered. reported.

Enter Dr. Jeremy Farrer. He is a Faucian. “prompted” The scientific paper. Farrar served as the British nonprofit Wellcome Trust’s head, where he had long-standing ties with the pharmaceutical industry. Emails show that Farrar requested an editing to the article the day it was published. “Sorry to micromanage/micro edit! But would you be willing to change one sentence?”

He wanted to alter the word “unlikely” You can find more information here “improbable” So, a sentence might read as follows: “It is improbable that SARS-CoV-2 emerged through laboratory manipulation of an existing SARS-related coronavirus.”

Farrar, now chief scientist for the World Health Organization (WHO), is on his way. After stepping down from his role as director at Wellcome, Farrar is now set to assume the six-figure position in the second quarter.

Rand Paul (R.KY), a senator, is a doctor. told DailyMail.com reports that Farrar is opposed by him.

“Jeremy Farrar, the guy who then publicly disdained the lab leak theory despite privately admitting he was still 50:50 on the lab leak should not be in charge of the WHO or any investigations into the origins of Covid,” Paul spoke to the U.K. newspaper.

The Mail reported last year that Farrar had privately voiced concern that COVID might have been leaked from a laboratory in February 2020. “He famously told Dr. Anthony Fauci and colleagues that he was 50:50 between a lab leak and natural origin,” According to the paper.

Farrar, however, signed his name to an article in Lancet which denounced the laboratory leak hypothesis. “conspiracy theory.”

The Mail WHO was also advised by Dr. David Livermore (a microbiologist from the University of East Anglia, U.K.).

“He first privately speculated on a lab leak origin for Covid. Yet, he then added his signature to a notorious Lancet letter seeking to debunk the lab leak theory. If he is to lead the WHO, it would be wise for Dr. Farrar to commission investigations of Covid’s origins entirely independent of the Organization’s hierarchy, himself included,” Livermore added.
