I get that. We’ll never know fully for sure but it’s a real possibility, or even probability, that it came from the Wuhan lab. Thats why I wrote “almost all” and not all. Again, even if it came from the Wuhan lab, in order for Fauci to be a mass murderer you would still have to prove that (1) it was his decision alone to send money to that lab, and not US policy established over several years (b) that the money we sent there contributed significantly to the development of this virus and (c) that all this was deliberate. I don’t believe that ANY of this is true, but you’re welcome to prove it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Real timschochet 5,232 Posted December 13 Let me offer an analogy: It was US policy during the 1930s to contribute money to several German large businesses as part of technological research that would benefit both countries. This aid included the chemical firm IG Farben. During this period, IG Farben developed an insecticide known as Zyklon B. Years later, Zyklon B was used at the gas chambers at Auschwitz to exterminate millions of people. Based on the logic of this thread, Franklin Roosevelt, who was head of government at the time we sent money to IG Farben, is therefore responsible for the Holocaust. See how crazy that sounds? And let’s go a step further: I named FDR because I don’t have any idea who the head of the agency was who sent money to Germany; ultimately it’s the head of state who has to be responsible. The same rule would apply today. Dr Fauci or other scientists might recommend money sent to Wuhan but in the end it happened under Trump’s watch, right? So why isn’t Donald Trump a mass murderer?

Bullshitt semantics. Fauci funded GOF research in humanized mice The result was a lab-generated virus that could infect human cells, he said, adding that at least three of the lab-generated viruses "exhibited >10x to >100x higher viral loads in humanized mice." A humanized mouse is a mouse that has been bio-engineered to mimic certain biological characteristics similar to humans, such as the immune system, so that they can be tested on in labs as a human surrogate.

Gepetto 1,192 Posted December 14 RAND PAUL: I've said referrals. Criminal referrals on Anthony Fauci twice to the Department of Justice. Without really response. Merrick Garland hasn't done his job. He's probably the most partisan attorney general we've ever had. I will send those referrals again. If they preemptively pardon Anthony Fauci, it will seal his fate as the architect, author, and godfather of the pandemic. He's the one who funded it. He's the one who funded the research in Wuhan. He's the one that allowed the research, not to be scrutinized. I don't get this. There was a safety committee that was supposed to scrutinize dangerous research. It was set up because of fear of exactly this happening. There have been scientists talking about this for 20 years, worried that this is going to happen. Anthony Fauci side-stepped the safety committee. And allowed this research to go on. Then when it came forward, that he had done. He said, oh. Nothing to see here. We didn't really do it. Oh, well, we funded EcoHealth. And they funded Wuhan. But, oh, nothing to see here. And then he had the gall to say, it wasn't gain of function, and it wasn't dangerous. That's all a lie. All that's come out. And really, we haven't -- we have him in private saying, we know it's really dangerous there. We know they do gain-of-function research. We have them dead to rights. If the president pardons him. I think it will just cement his role in history as being the architect of gain of function surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patented Phil 1,287 Posted December 14 In a February 9 2020 interview with Speaker Newt Gingrich, the former lawmaker asked Fauci to weigh in on 'a biological warfare center in Wuhan and [whether] the coronavirus escaped from that.' Fauci poured cold water on the theory that COVID could have escaped from a lab, calling it a 'conspiracy theory' three times in one sentence. 'I've heard these conspiracy theories, and like all conspiracy theories, Newt, they're just conspiracy theories.' Evil, lying, bastardd. He suppressed the lab leak theory from day 1. He misled and obfuscated on what was going on at Wuhan. And then, when he got nabbed having funded the research being done at Wuhan, he played word games by saying it technically wasn’t gain of function by citing some hidden, remote definition - hitching his wagon to the distinction that the research wasn't being done on humans. Meanwhile, it was being done on humanized mice, meaning that it could be contracted by humans. This is what we call a distinction without a difference. Horrible, evil man. Hope he burns in hell.

He seny money through a shell company to go to China to fund research that resulted in the development and accidental release of the virus. (Undisputed fact). He conspired with co-workers to cover-up the source of the virus (undisputed fact). He constantly uses semantics to decieve the people and Congress (undisputed fact). He lied about many aspects of Covid including the safety and effectiveness (udisputed fact).. Over his career, he has illegally used his position to make himself extremely wealthy. Read a book on Fauci, he is a truly low-life SOB. You are good putting Trump in prison for a check memo which harmed no one, deceived no one and broke no law outside of being debatably a false record misdemeanor years past the statue of limitations. But you want to use BS semantics to defend a guy whose shady actions resulted in over 7,000,000 deaths and trillions of economic damaged. UNREAL 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially one who was at the forefront of violating our civil liberties. You’re a bunch of frauds. The Real Anthony Fauci reveals how “America’s Doctor” launched his career during the early AIDS crisis by partnering with pharmaceutical companies to sabotage safe and effective off-patent therapeutic treatments for AIDS. Fauci orchestrated fraudulent do-nothing studies, and then pressured US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulators into approving a deadly chemotherapy treatment he had good reason to know was worthless against AIDS. Fauci did the unthinkable and repeatedly violated federal laws to allow his Pharma partners to use impoverished and dark-skinned children as lab rats in beyond order, deadly experiments with toxic AIDS and cancer chemotherapies. In early 2000, Fauci shook hands with Bill Gates in the library of Gates’ $147 million Seattle mansion, cementing a partnership that would aim to control an increasingly profitable $60 billion global vaccine enterprise with unlimited growth potential. Through funding leverage and carefully cultivated personal relationships with heads of state and leading media and social media institutions, the Pharma-Fauci-Gates alliance exercises dominion over global health policy and our beautiful country. This is not just another political book. The Real Anthony Fauci details how Fauci, Gates, and their cohorts use their control of media outlets—both conservative and liberal leaning, scientific journals, key government and quasi-governmental agencies, global intelligence agencies, and influential scientists and physicians to flood the public with fearful propaganda about COVID-19 virulence and pathogenesis, and to muzzle debate and ruthlessly censor dissent.

No. Fauci didn’t fund anything. There was no personal check. He was part of a team that authorized money sent to the Wuhan lab but my understanding is that this was part of long standing U.S. policy approved by several Presidents including Trump. As to the second part of this question (what the money was used for) I have no idea but I do know that Fauci and the CDC dispute your claim. 2. No idea. 3. No idea but Fauci and many other scientists claim it is not. I am not a scientist and am not prepared to argue the point. I strongly suspect however that other non-scientists who are making this claim are politically motivated. And I strongly suspect you haven’t read jack shitt about this issue, because, well - Lazy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you’re saying he personally controlled the money without consultation from anyone else in government? 2. If so how did he get such authority? From whom?
