A guest post by Professor Angus Dalgleish
The recent appearance of Anthony Fauci before the Senate Homeland Security Committee and his refusal to answer any questions, citing the Fifth Amendment 110 times (and subsequently found in contempt of Congress) has come a shock to many.
Reactions have ranged from ‘I had no idea’ to ‘they are using him as a scapegoat to protect others’. Indeed there are reports of several doctors writing in to defend him!
The release at the end of last month by Senator Rand Paul of more than 1,000 pages of Fauci’s personal typewritten diary and note entries he kept on government computers spanning late 2019 through 2022, detailing pandemic decision-making, virus origin debates, relations with Trump, and Fauci’s tracking of his own media profile, elicited the response from Fauci that this was invasive and humiliating. To which Rand Paul suggested that if they were meant to be private (or notes for a blockbuster autobiography) he should not have used his government computer!
I knew from the minute that Fauci declared the virus did not come from the Wuhan lab that he was complicit in a gross cover-up. Dr Fauci first publicly dismissed the theory that Covid-19 was artificially or deliberately manipulated in a lab during a White House press briefing on April 17, 2020, citing genomic analysis from evolutionary virologists that pointed to natural animal-to-human transmission.
