This cruel procedure \u2014 which is opposed with rare exceptions by the American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Animal Hospital Association, and others \u2014 seems to have been performed so that experimenters would not have to listen to the pained cries of the beagle puppies. This is a reprehensible misuse of taxpayer funds.Last month, Fauci faced calls to resign over a report on gain-of-function research taking place at the WIV, which followed months of assertions by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) that Fauci had \u201clied\u201d to Congress and should be investigated. As The Daily Wire reported:Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the chief medical advisor to President Joe Biden, is facing calls to answer for a shocking report, published by the Intercept, about the so-called \u201cgain of function\u201d research that the National Institutes of Health funded at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The WIV is thought to be a possible origin point for COVID-19.In May of 2021, Dr. Fauci, in his testimony to a Senate committee investigating whether the U.S. funded \u201cgain-of-function\u201d research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, claimed that the NIH \u201chas not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.\u201dThe Intercept, however, found, through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, evidence that the NIH issued a \u201cbat coronavirus grant\u201d to a group called the EcoHealth Alliance for \u201c$3.1 million, including $599,000 that the Wuhan Institute of Virology used in part to identify and alter bat coronaviruses likely to infect humans.\u201dThe Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
