Dr. Weissman ran the study Fauci asked for. Three weeks later, he sent the results. Four years after that, he told a reporter his own results were absolutely impossible.

“On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” Anthony Fauci during “The Testimony of Anthony Fauci” - U.S. Senate, July 29, 2025
Yesterday morning the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted 8–5 to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress.
Every Republican voted yes. Every Democrat voted no.
Sen. Rand Paul said the referral would be hand-delivered to the attorney general and to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia yesterday. Whether to charge is up to the Department of Justice. Contempt of Congress carries up to twelve months in prison per count.
Sen. Josh Hawley put the reason plainly. Fauci refused 111 times — not just on gain-of-function funding, but on the color of the carpet, the tie he was wearing, the day of the week, and whether he has a heart for beagles. (I added that last one :-). That, Hawley said, reveals that Fauci’s invocations of the 5th weren’t tailored to anything. It was predetermined, premeditated - designed to evade the committee’s questions on all subjects. One hundred and eleven refusals. And here is the part that, if my understanding is correct, should bother all of us (including Democrats if they have integrity and consciences):
So a witness can stonewall a Senate committee 111 times and face the same twelve-month maximum he’d face for refusing once. The statute never imagined a COVID-era doctor, clearly guilty of crimes against humanity, who would treat an entire Senate hearing as a wall. Too bad each question Fauci refused to answer can’t be counted as a separate count.
Given the plethora of COVID-era atrocities — the fraud, corruption, and coverups — I believe Nemesis would approve of Fauci earning 111 years behind bars in federal prison. What do you think?
Last week I asked a question at the end of Issue #4: Fauci told Drew Weissman it would be interesting to know what happens when the COVID modRNA “vaccine” is given to mice at human dose levels intramuscularly. Weissman said he planned to find out.
Was that study ever run?
It was. And the answer went to Anthony Fauci three weeks later.
On March 1, 2021, Weissman emailed Fauci again, a confidential report attached.
“Here is the human dose IM studies in pregnant mice. We still have some concern over the data,” said Weissman.
Read that twice. This is not the hundred-times-overdose intravenous experiment from February. This is the vaccine-equivalent dose, delivered the way it is delivered into your humanoid arm, in pregnant animals. The exact study Fauci said would be “interesting.” Run, completed, and reported within three weeks.
And Weissman, the man who co-invented the modRNA “vaccine” platform, still had “concerns.”
Within the hour, Fauci forwarded the report to the totally non-financially-conflicted - eh-hem; clear throat; cough-cough - former director of the NIH Vaccine Research Center, Dr. John Mascola - pronounced ‘mass cola’.
Here’s what Fauci’s memo to Dr. M said: “Let ussss discusssssssss.” [Sound effects added for emphasis for those listening to the post].
Dr. mass cola then circulated Weissman’s concern and Fauci’s memo to his senior leadership team for review.
Note: Dr. Mascola is involved in a patent ownership conflict with Moderna over the COVID-19 modRNA “vaccine.” Apparently, he is claiming co-inventorship of the “vaccine,” but Moderna is giving him the middle finger, it seems. Despite Mascola’s financial interest in the modRNA technology under threat, maybe a silver lining for Dr. M is his perfect COVID-era last name, including, perhaps, the potential to develop his very own beverage he could call “Mask Cola,” lest we forget.
Nothing.
The federal recommendation for vaccination in pregnancy went forward anyway. It went forward through the spring, through the summer, through the mandates. Around 75% of American women completed a primary series of the modRNA jabs before or during their pregnancies. In total, roughly 50 million US women of childbearing age were injected with the genetic materials at least once. Everybody outside that email chain was ignorant of Weissman’s damning research. That includes you, your daughter, or your granddaughter.
Weissman had told Fauci in February that he was waiting to release the findings, until follow-up studies were complete. The follow-up studies were completed on March 1, 2021.
They were never released.
Here is what makes the Fauci-Weissman-Mascolla silence harder to explain rather than easier: none of this was a surprise finding.
In 2013, French researchers published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine that the lipid nanoparticle (LNP) carrier accumulates in organs including the ovaries. This was eight years before Weissman’s email.
And the pre-clinical regulatory submissions for the COVID-19 “vaccines” themselves — the biodistribution studies handed to regulators before the rollout — showed the same thing: The lipid nanoparticles accumulate in every tissue and organ of our bodies. Ovaries included.
So when the American public is told the COVID-19 modRNA “vaccine” ingredients remain in the deltoid muscle of our arms, three separate bodies of evidence already said otherwise: the 2013 literature, the manufacturers’ own regulatory filings, and the co-inventor’s private correspondence with the director of NIAID.
D2D Take: The stays-in-your-arm claim was not a scientific error later corrected by ‘better data’. ‘Better data’ existed way before these genetic “vaccines” were mass-mandated. The false claim was made over it.
Four and a half years later, the CDC’s COVID-19 vaccine workgroup was chaired by MIT professor Retsef Levi. Dr. Levi, who is considered by us COVID-era dissident doctors to be honorable (and unlikely to be a primary sociopath). He raised concerns about the known wide biodistribution and prolonged persistence of the modRNA genetic materal, the known toxicity of the lipid nanoparticles, the COVID-19 spike protein, and around 8 other foreign substances present in the “vaccine” vials..
STAT News asked Weissman to respond to what Dr. Levi’s workgroup was trying to warn us about. And Weissman rejected Levi’s concerns outright saying, “It is absolutely impossible.” The RNA is gone in days. If you put a vaccine-equivalent dose, you see it in the muscle, you see it in the draining lymph node, and that’s about it.”Turns out, the only thing that stayed at the injection site was Weissman’s lie.
And notice, “Vaccine-equivalent dose.” He chose that phrase deliberately, and it is the precise condition of the study he ran in 2021 — the one whose results he sent to Fauci with the words we still have some concern over the data.
One Weissman statement was for Fauci. The other was for We The People.
Alfred Nobel invented dynamite. The story told about the prizes is that he read a premature obituary calling him the merchant of death, disliked what the world would say about him, and endowed the awards to buy his reputation back.
Historians have never actually located that obituary — but the shape of the story survived because it rings true. A man’s explosive legacy purchased after the fact.
Will any of the COVID-era villains be known as contemporary “merchants of death”? Or will history succeed in reframing them as saints?
He shared the 2023 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Katalin Karikó for the nucleoside modification that made the platform work. The reputation came first.
Over the same period between the private emails and the public certainty, financial disclosures show that BioNTech gave Weissman roughly $2.5 million in support of research in his laboratory.
The documents Sen. Paul released do not explain what changed Weissman’s heart and mind, to make him deny the obvious dangers from the COVID-19 “vaccine’s.” They record only what he knew, when he knew it, and what he said afterward.
Draw your own conclusion.
Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Two months after the Weissman report reached Fauci’s desk, Dr. Avindra Nath at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke sent his institute director a draft paper on patients with neurological symptoms following modRNA vaccination. His finding (we covered on the previous post): early recognition and corticosteroid treatment could reverse them.
Nath had suffered hearing loss himself, from the jab. Another employee had developed tinnitus.
NIH Director Francis Collins called Nath’s approach at research very troubling — not the nerve damage, not the hearing loss in his own investigator. What troubled him was that collecting cases would feed vaccine hesitancy.
Dr. Nath’s paper was rejected by the New England Journal of Medicine. It has never appeared in any journal. But it does survive here, as a preprint.
D2D Take: In the spring of 2021, two important legitimate warnings reached Fauci and others at the top of NIH. One was about the systemic distribution of the modRNA genetic material; one was about injuries from it. Neither warning was disputed. Neither was published. Nobody had to give an order.
Was Weissman’s March 1, 2021 report ever acted on? Who read it? What did Mascola’s leadership team conclude? Why did the federal recommendation for pregnancy proceed unchanged?
Sen. Ron Johnson raised the substance of it at the famous Fauci hearing…hearing the Fifth Amendment repeated ad nausum.
On the advice of counsel, Dr. Fauci “respectfully” declined to answer. And not a single Democrat senator asked Fauci anything.
That is the part worth sitting with.
Not one Democrat on the committee was willing to say that a witness under subpoena must answer questions about his own emails. Sen. Gary Peters (D, MI) called criminal contempt punitive and warned it would create a damaging precedent weakening the committee’s ability to compel testimony. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D, CT) moved to ask federal prosecutors to grant Fauci immunity in exchange for his testimony — which, to be fair, was the one Democrat motion of the morning that may result in us getting answers rather than preventing them.
The rest was Democrat procedure deployed as a shield. Motions to table. Motions to postpone.
Six years after the lockdowns, the mandates, the school closures and the injuries from the modRNA “vaccines,” the question of whether the man at the center of it should have to answer for what he wrote is now decided by which party you belong to. Not by what the science, the emails, the diary and the phone say.
View the 3-minute CHD video here.
Now we have Fauci’s diary and the acquisition of his government phone. The documents keep arriving. None of the Democrat Senators in that room are disputing a single fact about them. They’re disputing whether Fauci should have to talk to us about them.
Paul’s referral went to the Justice Department yesterday afternoon. Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro were both charged with contempt of Congress under President Autopen Biden and both were convicted and served months in prison. Whatever you think of those cases, at least they establish the thing that matters here: the wheels of justice can turn when somebody decides to turn them.
So the question is no longer whether Fauci can be held to account. It is whether this Trumpian Justice Department will do what the previous one did, to men it disliked less, to the man holding the preemptive pardon signed by the autopen.
Six years of mass formation says the country will shrug. Six years of documents says it shouldn’t. And the documents don’t get to plead the Fifth.
⚡ WHAT WE CAN DO
📄 Read the Record — The Weissman emails are in Sen Paul’s documents. Read the February 8 and March 1 exchanges yourself, then decide whether they sound like a man with nothing to answer for.
📢 Make the Call and Email (I did) — The referral is now at the Department of Justice. Contact the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Dr. Jeanine Pirro, and urge her to treat Fauci the same way Bannon and Navarro were treated, but to be a lot harsher.
📢 Ask Your Own Senator — If your senator sits on Homeland Security, ask how they voted this morning and why. If they voted no, ask which fact in the Weissman emails they dispute.
📄 Read the Suppressed Paper — Dr. Nath’s preprint is still public. Send it to your doctor and ask him to share it with his favorite neurologist.
🎥 Watch It Yourself — Sen. Johnson’s questioning at the July 29 hearing. Watch what a Fifth Amendment invocation looks like when the document was written by the witness.
🔗 Break the Blackout — Forward this to one family member, friend, or physician who still believes modRNA genetic material stays in the deltoid muscle.
