Dr. Anthony Fauci is caught in his biggest COVID lie yet
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has announced a criminal referral of Dr. Anthony Fauci to the Department of Justice over his apparent lying during congressional testimony in 2021.
Fauci insisted repeatedly that the National Institutes of Health had never funded any gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Paul contended at the time, in arguing with Fauci, that the research done on viruses at WIV — which got US funding — matched the NIH’s own description of gain-of-function research and accused Fauci of playing word games.
Now Fauci is damned by his own words.
A newly surfaced February 2020 email about a COVID task-force call between him, his associates and UK science big Dr. Jeremy Farrar shows Fauci not only using the term “gain-of-function” to describe the work at Wuhan, but highlighting serious misgivings about the virus being of natural origin.
So not only does it look like Fauci was at the very least obfuscating during the 2021 testimony; it shows that he and other senior scientists (including then-NIH head Francis Collins, who was on the call) also took the lab-leak origin theory of COVID seriously.
Rand Paul announces ‘official criminal referral,’ says email shows Fauci COVID testimony ‘absolutely a lie’
At least before they panicked and launched a massive behind-the-scenes effort to suppress it — likely to hide their own possible complicity in funding work that might’ve unleashed COVID on the world.
To do that they bullied scientists dependent on the millions in grant money they controlled and whipped compliant media into a frenzy over “disinformation.”
In fact, that very same month a Post op-ed by Steven Mosher got smothered by Facebook and Twitter for suggesting the exact same thing Fauci & Co. admitted they were worried about to Farrar.
That view — that COVID came from a lab — is now increasingly the belief of the US federal government.
And of every thinking person, especially after evidence appeared indicating the first three Patients Zero of COVID were WIV employees.
But we may never know for sure, in part thanks to Fauci & Co’s fight to prevent any real inquiry within China at the pandemic’s start. That leaves the whole world more vulnerable.
How many more of these damning revelations is it going to take before Fauci & Co. face a single consequence for their actions?

*****************************************************Australia's ABC is sticking to its wrong call
No admission that they could have got it wrong. They are Leftists and Leftists have a soft spot for Communist regimes so they are still trying to protect China
New claims that America’s leading infectious diseases adviser Anthony Fauci downplayed concerns that Covid-19 originated from a laboratory will not be acknowledged by the ABC’s Media Watch program and its host Paul Barry until a lab leak “proves to be the source of the Covid-19 outbreak”.
Since the pandemic began, the TV presenter has on numerous occasions been highly critical of Sky News host Sharri Markson’s reporting, including concerns in the science and intelligence community that a lab leak was plausible.
A world exclusive by Markson published in The Weekend Australian on Saturday included her interview with Robert Kadlec, former assistant secretary for preparedness and response at the US Department of Health.
Dr Kadlec said that he, Dr Fauci and National Institutes of Health director Francis Collins had discussed how they could “turn down the temperature” on accusations against China during the early days of the pandemic.
Dr Kadlec, in his first ever interview, told Markson that they tried to encourage a group of leading international scientists to reduce speculation about the origins of the virus. In a phone call on February 1, 2020, the scientists discussed concerns that SARS-CoV-2 looked like it might have been genetically engineered.
“When we talked about this in advance of that call, he (Fauci) would just try and see if he could get the scientists to take the temperature down, turn the rhetoric down, to at least find, we’re going to look into this, but we don’t know,” Dr Kadlec told Markson.
The Australian contacted Barry about the latest revelations on the weekend, but he did not respond. However, Media Watch executive producer Timothy Latham responded on his behalf in an email: “As Paul has previously said, if the Wuhan lab proves to be the source of the Covid-19 outbreak, we will update viewers and apologise to Ms Markson for our criticism.”
He included a link to an article The Australian published in 2021 asking Barry if he would acknowledge fresh allegations that were revealed in a Sky News documentary, What Really Happened in Wuhan, presented by Markson.
In a Media Watch segment on May 5, 2020, Barry dismissed Markson’s initial reporting on the origins of Covid-19 and repeatedly used the phrases “conspiracy theories” and “conspiracy theorists”, finishing his segment by saying: “Conspiracy theories like this are so hard to kill.”
He told viewers in the same report: “So how likely is it that the virus escaped from that Chinese lab? Well in short, it’s not.”
Among those to initially refute claims the virus could have originated from a lab leak was the ABC’s health expert Dr Norman Swan who in 2020 said he had “looked into this and other journalists have looked into this as well as scientists and there really is very little evidence”. “It’s on the outer bounds of possibility, but really so unlikely that you could say … it’s not the case,” he said.
However in May 2021 he said “in recent weeks alternate views of the sequencing have emerged which are quite compelling and a growing number of respected scientists are making a good argument”.
An ABC spokesman would not comment on the criticisms of Markson’s reporting and there was no response from chair Ita Buttrose.
It has also been revealed on the weekend, by The Wall Street Journal, that Facebook removed content relating to Covid-19 in response to pressure it received from the Biden administration.
The newspaper’s report included revelations about internal company communications, including emails divulging details of executives of Facebook (whose parent company is Meta) discussing how they handled users’ posts about the origin of a pandemic and the administration was seeking to control the narrative. “We were under pressure from the administration and others to do more,” responded a Facebook vice-president in charge of content policy, speaking of the Biden administration. “We shouldn’t have done it.”

Smell and Taste Disorders After COVID-19 Vaccination: Case Series
Post-vaccination conditions related to olfactory (sense of smell) and gustatory (sense of taste) dysfunctions have been reported in the literature with case studies. On the other hand, these dysfunctions are unknown by many clinicians and their underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. In this article, we summarize a report that included six cases with taste and smell problems to shed light on this issue. TrialSite continuously reports case studies about neurological conditions attributed to COVID-19 vaccines.
A 2021 article published in Ear, Nose & Throat Journal entitled “COVID-19: Post-vaccine Smell and Taste Disorders: Report of 6 Cases” is summarized in this article. Although organizations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) refer to available vaccines as safe and effective, there are case studies demonstrating temporal associations between vaccines and adverse effects.
Sample and methodology
Patients were recruited from five European hospitals including Sassari University Hospital (Italy), Ferrara University (Italy), Foch Hospital of Paris (France), CHU Brugmann (Belgium) and CHU Saint-Pierre (Belgium). Patients must have self-reported smell and taste issues days after receiving a COVID-19 vaccination to be included. Taste problems were operationally defined as an impaired perception of salty, sweet, bitter or sour. Patients who had a history of COVID-19 throughout the six months before the vaccination and who had a positive COVID-19 reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were excluded.
Findings
Six patients were included in the study. Five of them were female and their age range was 25 to 50 years.
Case 1: A 25-year-old female with an unremarkable medical history received the first shot of AstraZeneca vaccine and developed a partial loss of smell. Her olfactory and gustatory evaluations demonstrated hyposmia (partial or complete loss of smell). She did not experience any taste problems. Her smell problem lasted for 10 days and her examination 40 days after the onset demonstrated normal results without any treatment. She received a second vaccine dose and did not experience any side effects.
Case 2: A 27-year-old female presented with a partial loss of smell. It lasted for two months after the first shot of the AstraZeneca vaccine when she presented. No other symptoms were reported including taste problems and the patient had no prior medical history. Without any formal treatment, she reported experiencing an improvement in her sense of smell nine days after the first vaccine shot. 40 days later, her examination showed a normal sense of smell. No adverse effects were reported after the second dose of vaccine.
Case 3: A 51-year-old female presented with a total loss of smell two days after her first dose of AstraZeneca vaccine. She also reported other symptoms such as fever, chills and arthralgia (joint pain). The smell dysfunction lasted seven days and improved gradually after that. She also reported fever and arthralgia after the second dose was administered.
Case 4: A 30-year-old female with no prior medical history reported a total loss of smell after the second shot of Pfizer vaccine. She did not report any side effects after the first administration. Within days after the second vaccination, she also reported rhinorrhea, a runny nose. Four days after the onset of her smell dysfunction, she reported a gradual improvement.
Case 5: A 44-year-old male presented with arthralgia, myalgia (muscle pain), and abdominal pain 10 days after the first shot of AstraZeneca vaccine. The patient had a history of renal lithiasis, a disease caused by the presence of kidney stones. His taste for sweets increased significantly, while his perception of salty taste disappeared. His exams showed no signs of cleft inflammation. Taste examination confirmed the loss of saltiness while other tastes were normal. Symptoms disappeared after 10 days except for the taste disorder (dysgeusia) that lasted for seven weeks. No adverse effects were reported after the second dose of vaccine.
Case 6: A 33-year-old female reported severe parosmia (a distorted sense of smell) and phantosmia (a sense of odors even in the absence of odorant triggers) after the second dose of Pfizer vaccine. She also reported myalgia, arthralgia and fatigue. After seven days, these symptoms resolved. She also had a history of COVID-19 eight months prior with a loss of smell lasting one week. After vaccination, hyposmia was found on examination which confirmed the self-report. She received oral corticosteroid treatment for a week along with vitamins. Her symptoms had resolved completely six weeks after vaccination.
