“Attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science,” Fauci said Wednesday. “All of the things I have spoken about, consistently, from the very beginning, have been fundamentally based on science. Sometimes those things were inconvenient truths for people.”

He's not wrong. Fauci has become a focal point for the people who are angry that they had to act like adults for fifteen months and care about their fellow citizen with a $2 piece of cloth.

And if it’s proven that he knew what the wuhun lab was doing, he’s toast. Btw, he was against masks before they became a way to control the public.

You do realize that Fauci gets emails from both credible people and quacks alike, often with contradictory narratives, right?

"If" is a tiny word with potentially huge implications. No, he was not 'against' masks; like every other scientist and medical professional he knew nothing about a novel virus or how it was transmitted. That was eighteen months ago, and it appears some people still can't figure out that we have learned a great deal about the virus in the interim. That would be you; so quit the dumb references to something totally irrelevant to today.

Fauci is up to his neck in gain of function that caused this....

Actually, Trump is.

"But in 2017, the government under the Trump administration released new guidelines for gain-of-function research, signaling an end to the blanket moratorium. And the news from 2019 suggests that dangerous projects are proceeding.

Experts in biosecurity are concerned the field is heading toward a mistake that could kill innocent people. They argue that, to move ahead with research like this, there should be a transparent process with global stakeholders at the table. After all, if anything goes wrong, the mess we’ll face will certainly be a global one."

Why some labs work on making viruses deadlier — and why they should stop

The pandemic should make us question the value of gain-of-function research.
