They gained lethality. I don\u2019t think Fauci is ever going to admit it. You have seen Merrick Garland performing live; I don\u2019t think he\u2019s ever going to prosecute him. But this is a big, big question. If this came out of the lab in Wuhan, what if a worse virus comes out of a lab?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>He added, \u201cThere\u2019s a professor at MIT, Kevin Esvelt, who\u2019s not a partisan, who wrote in The Washington Post recently, not a conservative journal, but he wrote that this type of research could threaten civilization. And there hasn\u2019t been one hearing. I have been asking Democrats to have a hearing on gain of function research so this doesn\u2019t happen again. We do this research in the United States. This is a big, big question. This disease we\u2019re facing has a 1% mortality. What if we got a contagion that leaks from the lab that has a 50% mortality? They\u2019re actually doing experiments as we speak with viruses that have 50% mortality. That shouldn\u2019t be happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul lamented that \u201cwe\u2019re still funding the lab in Wuhan\u201d and that Fauci \u201ccontinues to lie\u201d about gain of function research leading to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI introduced an amendment a month-and-a-half ago, and it passed unanimously, to stop all funding to the Wuhan lab. But it has not been signed by President Biden yet and has not gone through the House. So, yes, this is a big problem. Money still flows to Wuhan,\u201d he outlined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut, even worse, here\u2019s the judgment of Dr. Fauci. He continues to say, when asked, should we be funding this research? He says, yes, that\u2019s where the viruses are, we should be funding research in China,\u201d Paul continued. \u201cBut he fails to address the question of whether or not the Chinese Communist Party, the generals in the lab, the military\u2019s involvement in the lab, whether they\u2019re to be trusted, and he fails to acknowledge that this could have come from the lab, and he continues to lie about the idea of whether gain of function research was going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Trent Baker&nbsp;on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MagnifiTrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@MagnifiTrent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) on Monday previewed the upcoming hearing with National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci regarding the origins of COVID-19.
