The pardon, retroactive to January 1, \u20622014, comes amid allegations that Fauci had a significant role in funding research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where COVID-19 \u200cis believed to have originated. Critics suggest that his acceptance of immunity implies an admission of guilt. Fauci\u200b maintains that\u200d he has done nothing wrong,\u200b despite mounting evidence indicating his involvement in gain-of-function research, which aims to make \u2063viruses more transmissible to \u2063study potential treatments. This \u200bresearch,\u2062 funded partly through a $600,000 grant, was initially paused but later resumed.Allegations\u200d also suggest that Fauci misled Congress about the existence of such research and was aware of it&#8217;s potential origins shortly after the outbreak began in early 2020.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Disgraced National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci may think he is safe from scrutiny after receiving a last-minute preemptive presidential pardon from President Joe Biden on Monday, but he&rsquo;s not.<\/p>\n<p>On the contrary, the Covid-19 doomsdayer&rsquo;s willingness to accept more than a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PhilipWegmann\/status\/1881370396970336551\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">decade&rsquo;s worth of immunity<\/a> from federal prosecutions that haven&rsquo;t happened yet serves as <a href=\"https:\/\/constitution.congress.gov\/browse\/essay\/artII-S2-C1-3-1\/ALDE_00013316\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a Supreme Court-confirmed admission of guilt <\/a>that requires detailed dissection. <\/p>\n<p>Fauci claims he&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Acosta\/status\/1881330258281902446\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;done nothing wrong&rdquo; and &ldquo;certainly nothing criminal.&rdquo;<\/a> Yet the evidence overwhelming indicates Fauci played a large role in funding the Wuhan lab where the deadly virus originated and also worked overtime to subvert information about the viral leak that killed millions of people worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&rsquo;s pardon for Facui notably extends back to Jan. 1, 2014. It was around that same time that NIAID&rsquo;s parent agency, the National Institutes of Health,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nih.gov\/about-nih\/who-we-are\/nih-director\/statements\/nih-lifts-funding-pause-gain-function-research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claimed it ceased funding<\/a> for the gain-of-function research (GOF) &ldquo;involving influenza, SARS, and MERS viruses.&rdquo; GOF involves extracting viruses from the wild and engineering them to infect humans to study potential therapeutics. Just three years later, GOF was eligible for taxpayer funding again.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci not only supported GOF research of coronaviruses like Covid-19, but he also devoted taxpayer funding to it &mdash; specifically in the form of a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/06\/03\/fauci-email-dump-illustrates-a-dismissive-physician-who-rose-to-fame-to-cover-his-own-scandal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$600,000 five-year annual grant<\/a> through the EcoHealth Alliance for work at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

He also turned a blind eye when corporate media and Big Tech censors used their power in the public square to defame and deplatform those who dissented from the regime&rsquo;s Covid response.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci opted for ineffective and even harmful Covid-19 policies that <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/06\/03\/faucis-agency-raked-in-690-million-from-big-pharma-in-the-wake-of-pandemic-lockdowns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">made him and his agency millions<\/a>. Shortly before the pandemic he became the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/01\/25\/dr-anthony-fauci-is-the-highest-paid-federal-employee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">highest-paid<\/a> federal employee.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&rsquo;s pardon of Fauci may look like an obstacle to the justice he deserves, but it&rsquo;s actually a gift in the form of an admission. <\/p>\n<p>For one, Biden&rsquo;s pardon does not protect Fauci from a reckoning in the form of <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mrddmia\/status\/1881336846220992803\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">state prosecutions<\/a>. Nor does it prevent Congress from compelling Fauci to explain in detail his role in one of the biggest scandals in U.S. history.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Rand Paul, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, already <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RandPaul\/status\/1881328949021573590\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vowed<\/a> on Monday to continue Congress&rsquo;s pursuit to &ldquo;pierce the veil of deception.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If there was ever any doubt as to who bears responsibility for the COVID pandemic, Biden&rsquo;s pardon of Fauci forever seals the deal,&rdquo; he wrote on X.<\/p>\n<p>This time, however, Fauci must be forced under penalty of perjury and contempt into testifying without any of the lies, games, and run-arounds he used to dodge key questions in previous investigative hearings.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly five years after unelected bureaucrats like Fauci weaponized Covid-19 for their own gain, Americans deserve to hear the full story from the lips of the liar who helped write it. Not even Biden&rsquo;s anticipatory attempt to shield his political allies from prosecution can prevent that. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>   Jordan Boyd is a staff writer at The Federalist and producer of The Federalist Radio Hour.
