In the emails, Thorp called Fauci&#8217;s family &#8220;the first family of science&#8221; and offered to print an op-ed about &#8220;whatever you want,&#8221; including &#8220;what it&#8217;s like to be&#8221; an action figure or a bobblehead. Thorp even owns a Fauci bobblehead and has repeatedly praised Fauci on social media and in the magazine.<\/p>\n<h3>Fauci&#8217;s False Statements<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Fauci, the former head of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and President Joe Biden&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-fauci-announces-the-us-will-rejoin-the-world-health-organization-promises-to-give-them-our-money\/\" title=\"WATCH: Fauci Announces the US Will Rejoin the World Health Organization, Promises to Give Them Our Money\">chief medical adviser<\/a>, has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/georgia-gop-governor-rips-mlb-for-caving-to-cancel-culture-says-president-biden-is-lying-about-voting-reform-bill\/\" title=\"Georgia GOP Governor Rips MLB For \u2018Caving To Cancel Culture,\u2019 Says President Biden Is \u2018Lying\u2019 About Voting Reform Bill\">made false statements<\/a> about the COVID-19 pandemic. He acknowledged lying about masks out of concern there would be a shortage early in the pandemic and falsely claimed that after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, one would &#8220;become a dead end to the virus.&#8221; The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/instead-of-being-fed-false-assurances-of-safety-women-deserve-to-know-all-the-risks-of-hormonal-birth-control\/\" title=\"Instead Of Being Fed False Assurances Of Safety, Women Deserve To Know All The Risks Of Hormonal Birth Control\">randomized clinical trials<\/a> did not evaluate whether the mRNA Covid vaccines prevent transmission. Fauci has also claimed that the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) didn&#8217;t fund gain-of-function experiments at a laboratory in Wuhan, China, where the first COVID-19 cases appeared in 2019. However, documents from the institutes show U.S.-funded experiments at the lab increased the function of a virus.<\/p>\n<h3>Thorp&#8217;s Defense<\/h3>\n<p>Thorp defended his emails to Fauci, stating that it is entirely appropriate for the EIC of Science to have collegial relationships with their authors. He even followed up with Fauci after Biden took office, asking again for an editorial while praising him for his appearance in the White House briefing room. Fauci&#8217;s editorial ran in April 2021, after the 2020 election, and called the COVID-19 vaccines &#8220;a remarkable success.&#8221; Thorp later messaged Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins, the head of NIH at the time, with an apologetic email about publishing a piece calling for an investigation into the origins of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>While Thorp stands by his emails to Fauci, it is important to acknowledge the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-the-left-wing-media-promoted-a-baseless-covid-conspiracy-theory\/\" title=\"How The Left-Wing Media Promoted A Baseless COVID Conspiracy Theory\">false statements made<\/a> by the former head of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. As the world continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to rely on accurate information and hold those in positions of power accountable for their actions and statements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The editor-in-chief of the Science\u00a0family of journals is defending fawning emails he sent to Dr. Anthony Fauci during the COVID-19 pandemic.
