{Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic @COVIDSelect | 24 April 2024}

Dr. Anthony Fauci will testify publicly for the FIRST TIME since retiring from public service at a @COVIDSelect hearing on Monday, June 3, 2024.

In January, @COVIDSelect completed a two-day, 14-hour transcribed interview with Dr. Fauci that revealed serious, systemic failures in our public health systems.

Here are the most important takeaways from his closed-door testimony

Dr. Fauci testified that the “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation — that was used to shut down small businesses and schools across America — “sort of just appeared."

Dr. Fauci “did not recall” COVID-19 information and conversations relevant to @COVIDSelect’s investigations more than 100 times.

Dr. Fauci testified that he signed off on every foreign and domestic NIAID grant without personally reviewing the proposals.

Any negligent spending of U.S. taxpayer dollars deserves immediate oversight.

Dr. Fauci acknowledged that the lab-leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory.

This comes nearly four years after he “prompted” the publication of the now infamous “Proximal Origin” paper that attempted to "disprove" the lab-leak hypothesis.

Dr. Fauci admitted that America’s vaccine mandates — which he promoted from his position of power at the White House — could increase vaccine hesitancy in the future.

Dr. Fauci was unable to confirm if NIAID has ANY mechanisms to conduct oversight of the foreign laboratories they fund.

As the face of America’s public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Fauci’s closed-door statements raise serious concerns that warrant public scrutiny.

@COVIDSelect appreciates Dr. Fauci's willingness to appear voluntarily and looks forward to his honest testimony.

Dr. Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA):

Thank you, sir. Turns out that like the Drs. Paul, he is also a physician. Someone must have invited him and yielded him time, because he's not listed as a committee member.

Picture this: a dystopian world where your hard-earned tax dollars are stolen and funneled into the creation of a deadly virus.

Now, envision the chaos that ensues when this virus escapes containment.

The response? Sweeping lockdowns and draconian measures that crush businesses, strain mental health, and disrupt daily life. These policies, ostensibly for public safety, bring untold suffering and economic devastation. Small businesses shutter, unemployment skyrockets, and the fabric of society begins to fray.

As you question the origins of the virus and the necessity of these extreme measures, your voice is stifled. Alternative theories are protected by a wall of censorship, silencing any dissenting opinions. In this world, free speech is sacrificed at the altar of a fragile and convenient lie.

The human cost is staggering: millions dead, and countless lives irreversibly damaged. The sheer scale of this disaster rivals historical atrocities, evoking the horrors wrought by figures like Mao, Stalin, and Hitler. The impact is global, sparing no one from its reach.

Amid this catastrophe, the same individuals responsible for creating the problem present themselves as the saviors, pushing their own solution to their problem. And while the public is coerced into compliance, those individuals reap immense financial rewards. They gain immeasurable wealth from the royalties and profits generated by their solution, further enriching themselves at the expense of public trust and health.

Despite the magnitude of their failures, the orchestrators of this crisis are not only free from accountability but are celebrated as heroes. They are paraded in the media as saviors, their actions unchallenged, their decisions unexamined.

This dystopian scenario highlights the dangers of entrusting the government with unchecked power under the guise of protection.

But here’s the twist—this isn't some dystopian fiction.

This is the world we live in right now. The scenario described above is a stark reflection of our current reality. Anthony Fauci and his ilk did divert funds, the virus did escape, the resulting policies have caused immeasurable harm, and they did garner immeasurable wealth through royalties from Big Pharma. Yet, these figures remain in positions of influence, hailed as protectors rather than being held accountable for the devastation they've caused.

When those in charge claim to safeguard you, what safeguards do you have against their incompetence and overreach?

The lesson is clear: true safety and freedom come from skepticism and vigilance, not blind trust in authority.

To those in power that want to continue to sweep this under the rug: We will not forget.

Wow Rand! What a swing and a miss! After laying out a compelling case as to why gain of function research should be banned and Dr. Fauci should be tried for crimes against humanity he proposes a bill that there be an "independent agency" to oversee the research? So basically another NIH over the NIH? What the hell Rand?

Ok let me preemptively answer for them:
-He's working within the system
-America's not ready for a libertarian response
-Rand is actively working on moving the needle, stop shitting on him
-He's a US senator introducing ideas people wouldn't have heard otherwise

I'm sure I missed a few...
 
That totally rubbed me the wrong way too.

But upon further reflection, I can't see how trying Fauci for crimes against humanity works without an independent agency establishing the tribunal.

Do you like that one?

I hear ya. Up until this point the biggest thing I held against Rand Paul was his signing off on the ridiculous Tom Cotton letter. (And nobody can explain to me why that wasn't a violation of the Logan Act.) But at least that wasn't proposing legislation for a new agency. My mind is literally blown! Maybe there have been other moves just as stupid as this one and I just wasn't paying attention. :(

Kinda. I can see how most of them were intended to be crazy like a fox, but didn't work out as intended. I can give him some credit. None of them have resulted in any real harm. They seem to be fail-safe schemes.

Either this independent agency will have authority to recreate Nuremberg or he'll yank the rug out from under it.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/111th...inal,would violate specified federal criminal

Crimes Against Humanity Act of 2010 - Amends the federal criminal code to impose a fine and/or prison term of up to 20 years (or any term of years or for life if death results from a violation of the prohibitions of this Act) on any person who commits or engages in conduct that would violate specified federal criminal laws (including murder, kidnapping, peonage, involuntary servitude, forced labor or trafficking in persons, sex trafficking of children, sexual abuse, hostage taking, torture, extermination, national, ethnic, racial, or religious cleansing, or measures intended to prevent births) as part of a widespread (not less than 50 victims) and systematic attack against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack.

Provides for jurisdiction to prosecute a violation of this Act if: (1) the alleged offender is a U.S. national, an alien residing in the United States, or a stateless person whose habitual residence is in the United States; or (2) the offense is committed in whole or in part within the United States. Exempts prosecutions under this Act from any statute of limitations.

Prohibits a prosecution for a violation of this Act in the United States unless the Attorney General certifies in writing that: (1) there is no foreign jurisdiction prepared to prosecute a violation of this Act and a prosecution by the United States is in the public interest and necessary to secure substantial justice; and (2) the Secretaries of State and Defense and the Director of National Intelligence do not object to a prosecution.

Provides that nothing in this Act shall be construed to: (1) make unlawful conduct pursuant to the laws of war; (2) limit or extinguish any otherwise available defense or immunity; (3) support ratification of, or participation by the United States in, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court; or (4) repeal or limit the applicability of the American Servcemembers' Protection Act of 2002.​

I don't see why that requires an independent tribunal. They didn't use an independent tribunal to prosecute the made up crimes against Donald Trump. That said, covering up the fact that he funding GOF research and that it was likely the cause of the pandemic doesn't strictly fit the definition of crimes against humanity as written but it does fit under negligent mass homicide.

18 U.S. Code § 1112 - Manslaughter
U.S. Code
Notes
prev | next
(a)Manslaughter is the unlawful killing of a human being without malice. It is of two kinds:
Voluntary—Upon a sudden quarrel or heat of passion.

Involuntary—In the commission of an unlawful act not amounting to a felony, or in the commission in an unlawful manner, or without due caution and circumspection, of a lawful act which might produce death.

(b)Within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States,
Whoever is guilty of voluntary manslaughter, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 15 years, or both;

Whoever is guilty of involuntary manslaughter, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.​

To the extent that covering up the origin of COVID and his role in it delayed a proper response he's guilty of manslaughter. Remember when he said this?

https://www.statesman.com/story/new...l-coronavirus-fade-in-summer-heat/1424937007/

In a March 26 conversation on Instagram with basketball star Steph Curry, Fauci said yearly viruses like the seasonal flu and other coronaviruses that are typically more benign tend to do poorly in warm, moist weather and well in cold, dry weather.

"That’s one of the reasons why, in addition to the fact that in the warm weather you’re more outside and not confined in a room, that these kinds of respiratory viruses tend to go down as you get into the summer months," Fauci told Curry. "The only issue is we don’t know whether this is going to happen with this virus, because this is the first time we’ve ever dealt with this virus. So it’s not an unreasonable assumption to think that it’s going to go down, but you don’t want to count on it."

Under this bad advice the beaches and parks continued to be shut down and people stayed inside even though air conditioning spread the virus.

https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/08/15/897147164/can-air-conditioners-spread-covid-19

Since he knew, or should have known, about the types of viruses being created at Wuhan there was no excuse for him giving advice that was the opposite of what should have been given.

Do you like that one?

Oh wow. I gave you a whole ass response without realizing you were being sarcastic. Still I think the analysis of how to charge Fauci for mass death is relevant.

Not entirely. See, the obstacle isn't the law. The obstacle is the politicized, weaponized DOJ. Remember Nixon? The FBI and AG were useless then too. It took a Special Counsel to break the seal around that scandal.

Is the language he used a Trojan Horse? It looks like another executive branch agency, a place for congressmen to get their idiot cousins jobs. But is he trying to hide a Leon Jaworski and Archibald Cox in it?

If he just wants a special prosecutor to look into Fauci he should say he wants a special prosecutor to look into Fauci. But a whole new agency? Like a "Department Of Homeland Security" for biomedical research? How is that going to help anything exactly?
