Political hit job on Fauci.

Experiments did take place but there is little evidence to suggest Fauci knew or approved. The grant was approved late during the Trump administration. Research allocations are overseen by Congress and signed off the the sitting President.

Meanwhile we’ll ignore every single ‘political hit job’ on Trump for the past 5 years. How’s old Sleepy Joe and his crackhead son doing? Pure criminals.
By the way, whenever someone posts a ‘fact checking’ site instead of thinking for themselves…. Says it all.
Who watches the watchmen?

Said Fauci - didn't lie to congress though did he
“Attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science,”
“A lot of what you’re seeing as attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science, because all of the things that I have spoken about, consistently from the very beginning, have been fundamentally based on science,” the nation’s top infectious disease expert said before rebutting the attacks on prior remarks on how the coronavirus originated and the importance of wearing masks to prevent transmission.
“If you go through each and every one of them, you can explain and debunk it immediately,” Fauci said. “I mean, every single one.”
The actual quote.
In all seriousness though, Fauci is right, science is under attack in the US from the far-right.Trump was talking about injecting bleach and bringing light inside the body.

So he has been attacked - proven wrong - but any attack is an attack on science? I’m confused But a lot of what he has said has been proven wrong. He has even admitted that himself. Doesn’t science constantly try to prove itself wrong? Unless you are Fauci?
Can you list some, genuinely interested? The only thing I'm aware of is Fauci being incorrect about face masks in the early stages of Covid where there wasn't sufficient research into the virus. With other Governments and Health Orgs around the world sharing the same feelings. He himself has corrected himself and has changed opinions as science has evolved and see nothing wrong with that.

“Attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science,” does sound like egotistical "I am the science", however, it was edited and should be read in the full context.

Oh he also conjured perjury twice in the senate around NIH funding of gain of function research. Do the research yourself - it’s in plain sight. Me saying he is wrong is not an attack on left wing, vaccines, science or anything. I’m just opening up dialogue - but as expected we get the same as hominem attacks. Just awaiting Swede to give hive arbiters opinion and chuck in Brexit for good measure.
Not really, its all muddled with political bias so it's hard to discern what is genuinely criticism nowadays.
Also if he's conducted perjury then it should be investigated.
Regardless the GOP are going to run amok and win in the mid terms, Democrats are screwed.

He asked me to list where he has been wrong. I don’t need to. People can be wrong. It shows you are human.
I don't think Fauci believes he's infallible or that what he says is Gospel. He's a scientist, he knows producing science will be met by attacks/criticism in research and the conclusions by peer review before it's accepted as being good.
Political hit job on Fauci.

Yep, pretty obvious Political hit job on Fauci.
