In a surprising turn of events, the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic has uncovered evidence suggesting that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, made a covert visit to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Allegations have emerged that he used his influence to exert pressure on analysts to dismiss the lab leak theory, which proposes that the virus originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. This revelation has raised serious questions about the objectivity of the scientific investigation into the origins of COVID-19.
Chairman Brad Wenstrup, who leads the Select Subcommittee, has expressed his concerns regarding this startling disclosure in a letter addressed to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General. He has underscored the importance of conducting an unbiased and impartial investigative process, one that remains free from any undue external influence. It is paramount that the American people can have faith in the outcome of this investigation, and Dr. Fauci's actions have cast a shadow over that trust.
Just a fortnight ago, Chairman Wenstrup had already written to the CIA Director, seeking answers in response to allegations made by a whistleblower. These allegations contend that CIA analysts were financially incentivized to reject the lab leak theory. According to the whistleblower, a majority of the COVID Discovery Team, comprising seasoned officers with scientific expertise, were inclined to believe that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan. However, the senior officer on the team disagreed and insisted that the virus had zoonotic origins.

It is important to note that Dr. Fauci had a vested interest in avoiding a comprehensive investigation into the Wuhan Institute of Virology. This facility had been involved in potentially hazardous gain-of-function research, which had received substantial funding from Fauci's NIAID and the National Institutes of Health. These financial connections raise legitimate questions about his motivations for downplaying the lab leak theory.
In early 2020, Fauci even collaborated with Facebook to suppress any discussion of the lab leak theory on the platform. Fortunately, Facebook has since reversed this stance and will no longer remove posts discussing the possibility of COVID-19 being of human-made or manufactured origin. However, this reversal follows months of suppressing vital information and stifling public discourse.
The revelations surrounding Dr. Fauci's undisclosed visit to the CIA and his efforts to quash the lab leak theory are deeply disconcerting. They underscore the need for a thorough investigation into the origins of COVID-19, one that remains untainted by political interference. The American people deserve to learn the truth and to hold accountable those responsible for the far-reaching impact of this pandemic. It is a moment for transparency, integrity, and justice to take precedence.
