Hello John,

JD> The claim against Fauci is that he knowingly lied to Congress when
JD> asked about the research at the Wuhan lab.

Congress is going to be mad as hell!

JD> It is now proven fact that the NIH WAS in fact funding research taking
JD> place there, which Fauci at first denied then admitted to, albeit
JD> claiming that the research wasn't "gain of function".

It is well known that NIH was doing this research and possibly more we don't now about.

JD> That is now factually disputed by the NIH itself. The term "Gain of
JD> Function" is a term used by the NIH itself in defining the type of
JD> research that they are permitted to fund. It's illegal for them to do
JD> so. That's why Facuci denied doing so.

What makes you think it is illegal? I just read that in 2017 the NIH had resumed funding gain of function research that was paused in 2014.

JD> Rand Paul was using the term as it came from the NIH.

Rand Paul and his ilk are a different issue.

JD> Then there is the lab funded by the NIH where research ws done on
JD> puppies who had their ability to make noises removed so researchers
JD> wouldn't be bothered by the sounds of them crying and whimpering.

This is terrible but this is not the issue here. Things like this probably happen in research settings.

JD> No matter which way you slice this, the narrative has gone against
JD> Fauci and his supporters. Once there are crying puppies involved, it's
JD> all over ?

Wrong.

Ttyl :-),
