Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican and a medical doctor, has sparred frequently with Fauci on Capitol Hill, accusing the doctor of helping to fund so-called \u201cgain-of-function\u201d research at the Wuhan laboratory where many believe COVID originated. That type of research, which was banned by former President Obama, is aimed at making viruses more transmissible, and in some case more lethal.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci denies funding gain-of-function research, but his claim has been met with skepticism, including during Senate testimony from three top scientists earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think deep down he feels a moral culpability for this pandemic,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2022\/08\/04\/rand_paul_fauci_should_be_punished_for_lying_about_funding_gain-of-function_research_destroying_trust_in_public_health.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paul told The Hill<\/a> earlier this month. \u201cHe realizes there is a very good chance it came from the lab, and if it did come from the lab, it came from research that we were financing, ultimately, he and his decision-making should be judged in reviewing the history of where this pandemic came from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has also been a harsh critic of Fauci. In an ad released earlier this year, DeSantis, who clashed with Fauci over his refusal to lockdown Florida\u2019s schools and businesses during the pandemic, pointed out the NIH chief\u2019s COVID flip-flops.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople should not be walking around with masks,\u201d the ad quoted Fauci as saying, before changing his guidance to say \u201cmasks work.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/pound-sand-desantis-trolls-faucis-covid-19-policies-by-selling-flip-flops\/\">The Daily Wire<\/a> noted that another pair of clips showed him claiming fully-vaccinated individuals did not need to wear mask alongside another clip in which he asserted people should still wear masks even if they were fully-vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Fauci, he flips, he flops, but he can\u2019t stop freedom in Florida,\u201d the ad stated before showing the message, \u201cFauci can pound sand.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Anthony Fauci\u00a0is an inspiration to future doctors everywhere \u2014 just ask him.
