Back in 2010, 200 scientists from the Cambridge Working Group warned against publishing gain-of-function research, worried it would become a how-to manual for biological weapons. It led President Obama to pause this research for two years. Fauci was on one side of that debate. Most of the scientific community... show more

Does it make sense now why why Dr. Fauci was given a Pardon dating back to 2014? “For over 20 years, several of the BSEG scientists helped Dr. Fauci rewrite definitions for Gain of Function in 2015 to lift the funding pause on dangerous research… Still Fauci and others participated in EVENT 201 I. 2019– this was a Coronavirus tabletop exercise curiously similar to the events that played out during the Covid-19 pandemic.”

NEW – President Trump to Halt Funding for Gain-of-Function Research "The Trump administration is drafting an executive order that would temporarily pause federal funding for gain-of-function research ... The goal of the order would be to stop scientists with U.S. funding from conducting gain-of-function research on viruses that could endanger human health"

David Sacks explains exactly how Dr. Anthony Fauci orchestrated the pandemic and knowingly lied to the American public to protect his own a**. If there is one thing you watch today, this is it. During the The All-In Podcast, Sacks explains how Fauci purposely misled the American public to protect himself. "They knew right away that [Cov*d] came from a lab leak and Fauci and Collins said in emails that they were gonna begin a brutal takedown in order to conceal this fundamental truth of the lab leak from the public." "Now, why would Fauci need to conceal this? Because he had funded gain of function research programs... to conduct gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology." "Fauci was personally responsible for reversing an Obama-era decision to prohibit gain of function research because it was so risky." "[Fauci] funded a gain of function research. He was personally responsible for lifting the ban on gain of function research." "He had a lot of reasons to wanna hide the fact that COVID was engineered in a lab and was lab leak." "Longtime colleague of Fauci and Collins at NIH. Dr. David Morens developed a strategy for evading FOIA requests that would expose the truth." "He did this by deleting government emails, which is a crime by using private email to conduct government business, which is also a crime." "And then strategically misspelling names and titles to frustrate the FOIA searches." To recap: - Fauci aggressively pursued gain-of-function research and was responsible for funding the Wuhan lab while others warned of the dangers. - The virus then leaked from this lab, leading to trillions of dollars in debt which will paralyze our economy for decades into the future, death, su*cides, etc. - Fauci and others were paraded around as heroes. - Trump was ridiculed for pushing the lab leak theory. - Instead of admitting to the lab leak, Fauci and other doctors did all they could to cover it up. - To top it off, many scientists accepted millions of dollars in royalties from the vaccine. You should be furious.

NEW: Bill Maher guest calls out Fauci’s ridiculous pardon, saying, “There’s a reason he was given a pardon back to 2014.” “There is something very wrong going on here.” “Everyone knew it [gain-of-function research] was dangerous a long time ago. You go back to 2015, you will find a big meeting in London where they say there’s one lab in the world most likely to have a problem with this—Wuhan. Do you know who was the biggest supporter of gain of function research for the last 30 years? Anthony Fauci.” It turns out that in 2014, 300 scientists warned Anthony Fauci would start a global pandemic. RFK Jr. previously explained that following the high-profile escape of three bugs from U.S. labs, these 300 scientists sent a letter to President Obama, urging him to shut down Anthony Fauci's gain-of-function research. Obama issued a moratorium and shut down 18 of the worst projects by Anthony Fauci. In the end, he really didn't shut them down. Instead, Obama moved the research offshore to places like Ukraine, the former Soviet State of Georgia, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China. Now, it is widely accepted that COVID-19 originated from that very lab in Wuhan, China. The 300 scientists were right when they said Anthony Fauci would start a global pandemic.

🚨Sen. Rand Paul details one of MANY lies Anthony Fauci told the public: "On May 11, 2021, you told the Senate the NIH has never, ever, and does not now fund gain-of-function research in Wuhan at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. When I gave you the opportunity to correct the record to reconsider the statement, you responded that you had never before lied to Congress. We were then told that only the government's narrowest regulation of definition counted here. That you could define gain-of-function in one way in which this was not gain-of-function, in which all of the common sense of the world be thrown out [...] But the real question is, was it dangerous? Was it a wise decision to fund this? And you haven't deviated from that. You've never admitted that it could have been a mistake, running this research in China. The American people were not asking for a semantics debate over what is gain-of-function. They were asking, does common sense say this research was dangerous in Wuhan? They wanted to know whether their money funded experiments in Wuhan that made bad coronavirus' better able to infect humans. The answer is, yes."

While on Joe Rogan, we addressed that Fauci was "parsing words" and lying about gain-of-function research at Wuhan. "We all knew he was lying... He was trying to have a semantics type of argument." Today, May 11, 2026, the statute of limitations expires on prosecuting Fauci for allegedly lying to Congress about funding that risky research.

Here's what the Fauci hearing is really about: Can somebody who works for the President say "no" to him? And that president wasn't Trump. It was Obama. When the Obama administration banned dangerous gain-of-function research, Anthony Fauci and his cronies tried to bypass the order and do it anyways. Then under Trump, they tried to get DARPA to fund research into the exact same disease that led to COVID, but DARPA refused. Fauci thought he knew better than the commander-in-chief. After all, he is "THE SCIENCE." It seems like it didn’t matter who was in office, Fauci was ALWAYS going to do what he wanted.

🚨 RAND PAUL JUST NOW to Dr. Fauci: "The question is WHY? The only logical answer is that your primary concern was avoiding culpability! Your primary concern was HIDING the fact that YOU had approved the funding for this dangerous research. Your support of gain-of-function research is extensive and longstanding." "In 2011, your agency funded Ron Fouchier's laboratory when it mutated the avian flu and until it could spread through the air between mammals!" "This was the tipping point. This is when others became worried you funded this, you advocated for this." "The federal government's own biosecurity board, though, recommended withholding the details of these experiments because of the danger the research posed." "People were concerned that publishing it was publishing a roadmap to creating bio-weapons around the world. But you sided with the gain-of-function scientist Fouchier and argued that the benefits of publishing the research far outweighed the risk." "You defended this avian flu, transmissibility experiments as critical research. You wrote that even if a scientist became infected and triggered a pandemic, the benefits of the gain-of-function experiments outweighed the risk."

INFURIATING. Former CDC Director Robert Redfield reveals gain of function research is still happening under a different scientific definition: "The president has passed an executive order to stop the research, but the truth is this type of research is [still] being done. Part of the reason is the scientific community chose to change the definition." "If you start with a virus that's not pathogenic for humans and turn it into a highly pathogenic for humans, they say that's not gain-of-function research. In order for it to be gain-of-function research it has to be pathogenic from the beginning." "It's a false argument. Very disappointing. We ought to move away from this type of research."

I told Mark Halperin that this story didn't start in 2020. Anthony Fauci's advocacy for gain-of-function research dates back to 2010, when he funded research in the Netherlands that introduced eight-point mutations into bird flu to make it more infectious between mammals.

ARREST Fauci the LIAR. “Dr. Fauci demanded we place Blond Faith in him…and it was about huge amounts of money. Fauci LIED to Congress numerous times stating that the NIH doesn’t perform ‘Gain of Function’ Research. This is a CRIME…and a serious one…”

OBAMA was involved in the CREATION of U.S. BIOLABS conducting gain-of-function research of deadly pathogens across the world, especially in Ukraine using U.S. taxpayer dollars, through agencies like USAID. After the bioweapons convention ban ended in 2001 and after the anthrax attacks, Dr. Fauci essentially restarted the bioweapons arms race under the pretension of developing vaccines. In 2014, Obama moved Fauci's gain-of-function research offshore after Obama was essentially begged to shut down operations from over 250+ scientists because of the dangerous research Dr. Fauci was conducting. President Trump was the one who shut down gain-of-function research in the U.S. and abroad. DNI Tulsi Gabbard first exposed these labs in 2022 and now the proof of 120+ biolabs in 30+ countries, with a heavy focus on Ukraine, where the U.S. built and supported over 40 labs has been released and it all goes right back to the Obama administration and Dr. Fauci.

DANA BASH: “You want to end this gain-of-function research. Some scientists say, isn’t it better just to put better guardrails around it?” SECRETARY KENNEDY: “People have been trying to put guardrails around it for generations, and it hasn’t worked.” “And clearly, the COVID-19 pandemic and many other global pandemics that we have, have come from gain-of-function research.” “The RSV epidemic that we have, that is the biggest killer of kids in this country today came from these kind of experiments.” “The Lyme disease almost certainly came from this kind of research.” “And the scientists, who you say are ‘experts,’ are making the argument that this is necessary for pandemic response, cannot point to one instance in history where research that came out of this kind of experimentation has actually provided us something beneficial.”

Multiple people from the NIH testified that gain-of-function research was happening, directly contradicting Dr. Fauci’s position that this dangerous research was not taking place. We also have testimony from those who received these funds for the research. There’s no doubt that Anthony Fauci lied under oath to Congress.

Fauci funded Peter Daszak. Daszak funded gain of function research in Wuhan. Fauci claimed that never happened but we now know that it definitely did. Here's Daszak talking about gain of function research in 2016. In 2020 Daszak was chosen to lead the WHO team that investigated the origins of Covid. They didn't figure out the origin of Covid but they did rule out one possibility, that the virus came from the lab in Wuhan.

QUESTION: What happens if Fauci invokes the Fifth? SENATOR RAND PAUL: “I think the American people would be very disappointed if that happens.” “Somebody who works for 40 years for the government, I think they have an obligation to explain to Americans how the decision was made.” “Who made the decision? Why was the decision made to fund dangerous research in Wuhan, China?” “It was in a lower-level security lab, a lab that didn’t have adequate security. These were dangerous experiments.” “A lot of people think this began with COVID. It began 10 years before. It began with the question of whether we allow gain-of-function experiments on the avian flu.” “Ten years ago, they made it more transmissible through the air to mammals through NIH-approved funding that Dr. Fauci supported.”
