But if they get up and really aim their bullets at Tony Fauci, well people can recognize that there\u2019s a person there, so it\u2019s easy to criticize, but they\u2019re really criticizing science because I represent science.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In a tweet on Sunday, Rand Paul, one of Fauci\u2019s top critics, characterized the doctor\u2019s statement as being the height of \u201cabsolute hubris.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe absolute hubris of someone claiming THEY represent science.

Rand Paul, who initially raised the red flag about Fauci\u2019s role in gain-of-function research, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/rand-paul-anthony-fauci-nih-gain-function-funding\">publicly said<\/a> that Fauci shoud be \u201cheld accountable\u201d for allegedly lying to Congress:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"11\">\n<p class=\"speakable\">I don\u2019t know if they have time to go after Dr. Fauci for lying. He should be held accountable because what we have developed as a system of health care in our country where doctors are afraid to speak out because they will cut out their research funding, doctors who have talked about innovative treatment to try to help people survive COVID are being lectured and told we will take your license. This is the kind of thing, this top-down centralization of medical authority, it\u2019s not good for our country and it\u2019s not good for innovation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"speakable\">During his interview on <em>Face the Nation<\/em>, Fauci deflected on calls for him to be investigated by suggesting that Republicans such as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) are using him as a \u201cscapegoat\u201d over what happened on January 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
