Collins served as the Director of the National Institutes of Health and helped orchestrate a response to COVID-19 until his resignation in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Many of Dr. Collins\u2019 remarks undermine what the public was told during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/blue-state-paradise-vacant-nyc-storefronts-creating-havoc-nearly-double-since-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the pandemic<\/a> about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/us-researcher-with-ties-to-wuhan-lab-personally-thanked-fauci-in-april-2020-for-dispelling-lab-leak-theory-myths\/\" title=\"US Researcher With Ties To Wuhan Lab Personally Thanked Fauci In April 2020 For Dispelling Lab Leak Theory \u2018Myths\u2019\">lab leak \u201cconspiracy theory<\/a>,\u201d social distancing, and more.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/news\/exclusive-former-top-public-health-official-admits-covid-origins-not-settled-no-science-to-back-social-distance-guidance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Review<\/a> highlighted some of the more prominent exchanges in that interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you recall science or evidence that supported the six-foot distance?\u201d Collins was asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not,\u201d Collins replied.<\/p>\n<p>When asked to clarify if he did not remember or if he did not see the scientific evidence, Collins remarked, \u201cI did not see evidence, but I\u2019m not sure I would have been shown evidence at that point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the origins of COVID-19, Collins was asked, \u201cIs the origin of Covid-19 still unsettled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trust-science-19-scientific-journals-shutting-simultaneously-rocked-retractions-fraud-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a>?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He stated, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Further, when asked if the lab-leak was a \u201cconspiracy theory,\u201d Collins said, \u201cNot at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Are Fauci\u2019s actions criminal?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Collins also said in February 2020, he was invited by Dr. Anthony Fauci to take part in a phone call that spurred the notion that COVID-19 originated from nature and condemned the assertion it came from a lab in Wuhan, China. This contradicts what Fauci has previously said.<\/p>\n<p>Last Wednesday, the Department of Health and Human Services cut <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nonprofits-making-fortune-border-crisis-us-office-refugee-resettlement-signing-taxpayer-money-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">taxpayer<\/a> funding for EcoHealth Alliance. This organization helped with research on bats and the coronavirus at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The decision to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/josh-hawley-becomes-gop-cash-cow-despite-dem-targeting\/\" title=\"Josh Hawley Becomes \u2018GOP Cash Cow\u2019 Despite Dem Targeting\">pull funding<\/a> came after Wenstrup\u2019s subcommittee made a recommendation to criminally investigate its president, Peter Daszak. Daszak had been accused by the subcommittee of trying to obstruct their investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Daszak took heat from Congress earlier this month for EcoHealth\u2019s partnership with Wuhan and its hesitance to reveal the details of its work with the lab. Dasazak denied playing any role in gain-of-function research at Wuhan and claimed he was ignorant that the lab had ties to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/china-taking-last-pandas-america-back-u-s-zoo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">China<\/a>\u2018s People\u2019s Liberation Army.<\/p>\n<p>While Collins said he found it correct that the subcommittee should go after EcoHealth for its actions, he didn\u2019t know much about the vetting process for NIH for foreign collaborators.<\/p>\n<p>You can read the full transcript <a href=\"https:\/\/oversight.house.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Collins-Transcript-5.16-Release.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the real person of interest in the government\u2019s response to COVID-19 is Fauci.<\/p>\n<p>National Review reported that while Fauci has appeared before the subcommittee previously, he is set to testify next month.<\/p>\n<p>It appears that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/rand-paul-fires-off-really-thinks-fauci-deserves-frankly-go-prison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fauci lied<\/a> to the American people.

Is he merely a dunce who lied once then kept lying to cover for himself?<\/p>\n<p>While the government\u2019s response to COVID-19 has been blow wide open, his motives should now be in our sights.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>An Important Message from Our Staff:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>We who work here at The Western Journal have fought for years against Big Tech and the elites who want to shut us down and then shut America down. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Make no mistake \u2014 nothing will be the same after November 2024.
