National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci laughed off criticism that has been leveled at him by Republican lawmakers, dismissing “the Rand Pauls and all that other nonsense” as “noise.”
Speaking to CBS’ Face the Nation in an interview broadcast on Sunday, Fauci also responded dismissively when told Sen. Ted Cruz had called to prosecute Fauci.
“I have to laugh at that. I should be prosecuted? What happened on Jan. 6, senator?”
He added that such calls were simply a means of turning him into a “scapegoat to deflect from Trump.”
“Of course, you have to be asleep not to figure that one out.”
(1) On May 11, Fauci testified before a Senate Committee that “the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

(3) Fauci’s statement and the NIH’s October 20 letter cannot both be true. The statements are directly contradictory.
(4) 18 USC 1001 makes it felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison, to lie to Congress.

He said the attacks against him had a “distinct anti-science flavor” and were essentially attacks on science itself, because he “represents science.”
“If they get up and criticize science, nobody’s going to know what they’re talking about. But if they get up and really aim their bullets at Tony Fauci, well, people could recognize there’s a person there. There’s a face, there’s a voice you can recognize, you see him on television. So it’s easy to criticize, but they’re really criticizing science because I represent science. That’s dangerous.”
The absolute hubris of someone claiming THEY represent science. It’s astounding and alarming that a public health bureaucrat would even think to claim such a thing, especially one who has worked so hard to ignore the science of natural immunity. https://t.co/rcDezphVRR

In the same interview, Fauci addressed the possibility of ongoing intermittent “booster” shots.
“It is conceivable that when we get that extra boost, that will make the durability go well beyond six months and even longer. Or it may be that we will have to boost people intermittently the way we do it with influenza. Right now, we do not know definitively what that course is going to be. Whether it’s going to be a three shot and you’re done or three shots and then every once in a while you have to reboost. We’ll have to see how things roll out. Otherwise, we just can’t say something and guess about it.”
He added, “We really need to find out when you do boost an individual, how long does that immunity last, both from a laboratory standpoint and from a protection standpoint? So the one thing we want to make sure, now that we’re getting full blown into the booster phase, we’ve got to make sure we know what that means from a clinical standpoint.”
He said when he had first heard of an “unusual pneumonia” in China, “it may have been Dec 31 or the 30th [2019] or 1st of Jan [2020].” Soon after, he said, he set about trying to develop a vaccine.
“I got a call from Bob Redfield who said, you know, I just heard from colleagues in China that there’s an unusual pneumonia among people that has been detected. So we just got to stay heads up for that. And then a few days later, I think it was Jan 9th, or 10th the sequence came out. I got- as soon as I heard there was a new pneumonia, I said, well, a new pneumonia, Wuhan, wet market almost certainly it’s going to be a coronavirus.
“We all thought it would be similar to SARS-CoV-1, and that’s when I got my team organized immediately and said as soon as we get that sequence of what it is, let’s go after that vaccine, let’s plug it into MRNA. We were already collaborating with Moderna with MRNA and let’s do it. And it was rocket speed. I mean, we found out on the 10th of January of what the sequence was. About five or six days later we were starting with the vaccine development with Moderna. Sixty-five days later, we did a phase one trial, and multiple months later, we knew we had a safe and effective vaccine.”

More like…deceit, greed, fraud and sociopath!
Yea, he Represents Science, as much as The Poop, represents god!
“I represent $cience!”
You got that right Max… $412,000 a year of tax payers money $cience!
IMO he’s not even worthy of being paid 412$ A YEAR.. Let alone 412 THOUSAND!
“Otherwise, we just can’t say something and guess about it.”
It appears to me that saying bs guessing has been the MO all along. Everything was supposed to get us to the point where we would “flatten the curve”. I think that curve has twisted itself into a circle—a vicious one.
I think COVID and Climate are in a heated race to see which one will become the victor in annihilating life on this planet. AOC is betting on Climate—Fauci is betting on COVID. Perhaps the two can join forces and Climate can provide COVID with the perfect environment to unleash its fury.
Well, with Millions dead from Covid, shouldn’t that mean there’s LESS CLIMATE change impact from people now days, compared to PRIOR TO covid??
Dr. Fauci represents the science of fraud and the science of evil (gain of function research). Fauci destroyed economies and Fauci killed people with gain of function, which came from a communist lab, with his “communist scientist friends” in the Wuhan Lab. That is the “science” that Dr. Fauci represents!
Fauci had a hand in funding the Wuhan lab’s research. That alone should earn him prison time.
IT should land him on the gallows! ALONG with everyone who PUSHED all of those mask and shot mandates.
“I have to laugh at that. I should be prosecuted? What happened on Jan. 6, senator?”
Was Fauci involved with this too? 😯
Democrats and the Democrat Party never take responsibility or are held accountable for their own unlawful, destructive, dishonorable, immoral actions. Democrats always blame someone or something else for their own actions. Even if the Democrats are caught “red handed”.
The dishonorable socialist Democrat Party revolves around and its philosophy is based on Total Control, Hate, Lies, Cons, Deceptions, Immorality and the lack of Integrity, Ethics or Honor.
Socialist Democrats are willing to destroy themselves and everyone around them before they will agree to compromise their failed policies and their destructive self-fabricated beliefs.
If fascist fauci was more than a faux scientist. He wouldn’t be a political appointee.
“I have to laugh at that. I should be prosecuted? What happened on Jan. 6, senator?”
Let’s see, the horse laugh contagion from Camala to Fauci.
Yes you lied and should be prosecuted.
What does political head hunting of conservatives have to so with science Fauci?
I guess a swamp creature like yourself really does need to be removed and replaced with real world researchers.
So the man who “represents science” continues to call these shots a “vaccine” when everyone knows it is not that – it is a gene therapy application. One would think that the “smartest man in the world” would at least be that specific when elaborating on his holiness. This humanoid is pure evil – maybe the 2nd most evil man of all time (after his boss, soros – the puppet master)(see biden, joe). He led and funded the creation of this virus and since he is “the smartest man in the world”, it could not have been without intention and motive. The death penalty would be too light a sentence for this monster – perhaps some nice bat stew from Wuhan would suffice
Exactly. HOW IS IT ‘representing’ science, to DELIBERATELY ALTER the definition of a Vaccine, just to FIT THE FAUCI SHOTS???
dr.napoleon fauci has blood on his hands as the chicoms do
Science is not invested in one person, except God, or a group of people, it is the sum total of every individual who puts their experise into solving a problem. Start with a problem, first there is discovery of everything known about, analyzing the data collected, positing a theory, testing the theory, tweaking the theory, retesting the theory, publishing the theory for peer review (others involved in solving the same problem), checking the comments and suggestions of the others. Then and only then should the results be made public and implimented as warrented. At the same time all this is still open to new discoveries and new theories. Consider that it was only recently that one of the hypotheses of E=mc2 was able to be measured and proven, that’s a very long time! COVID research has not gone through many of these steps yet we’ve been given pronouncement after pronouncement that have eventually proven erroneous yet no lessons seem to have been learned.
The only things that Fauci represents is big pharma and government control of people’s lives. If he represented science he’d concede that natural immunity is equal to or better than ‘vaccine’ immunity; he’d concede that the vaxxed and unvaxxed carry an equal viral load (although science…real science it showing the vaxxed might have a higher load) and therefore are equally able to spread the virus if they get sick; he’d concede that masks are essentially worthless because the particles carrying the virus are so small that they can enter through the fabric of a mask; and he’d concede that they were in fact doing gain of function testing in Wuhan and his organization was backing it.
Science fiction is the only science quack quack Fauci represents.
What does January 6th have to do with anything? He might as well said, “I have to laugh at that. I should be prosecuted? What happened to George Floyd, senator?” Makes as much sense. Just shows he’s a political hack. Also he’s taking credit for Donald Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed”??? If memory serve me, he publicly stated there was no way to produce a vaccine that fast. He was wrong again and now tries to say he did it. Typical liberal trying to rewrite history.
He is a Marxist he wants to have power over the people
Comrade Fauci.. Loyal servant of the Proteletariat…
