Is Dr. Ebright at Rutgers University a lying right wing zealot? If not I'd say Dr. Fauci appears to have lied about funding gain of function research before Congress.
Following the release of the documents, Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University,
wrote on Twitter:
“The materials confirm the grants supported the construction—in Wuhan—of novel chimeric SARS-related coronaviruses that combined a spike gene from one coronavirus with genetic information from another coronavirus, and confirmed the resulting viruses could infect human cells.
“The documents make it clear that assertions by the NIH Director, Francis Collins, and the NIAID Director, Anthony Fauci, that the NIH did not support gain-of-function research or potential pandemic pathogen enhancement at WIV are untruthful.” Dr. Ebright
So looks like Fauci lied and a lot of people died so perhaps it is time for him to go. BTW - I thought the Obama Administration stopped this type of gain of function research and yet it continued. If true it would appear top Federal bureaucrats are not concerned about violating orders. That too seems a concern to me.
