Nearly Half Of Voters Want Dr. Fauci To Resign

This story was originally published by the WND News Center.

Nearly half of voters believe Dr. Anthony Fauci lied about U.S. funding for so-called “gain-of-function” research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which many scientists believe to be the origin of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Rasmussen poll of 1,000 likely voters found 49% believe Fauci hasn’t told the truth about the funding, and 46% want him to resign.

Fauci has declared under oath in congressional hearings that the National Institutes of Health has not funded gain-of-function research. But last week NIH has admitted in a letter to the leading Republican on the House Oversight Committee that the U.S. funded an experiment at the Wuhan lab in which a bat coronavirus was modified, creating a virus that made mice “sicker” than the original virus.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., demanded over the weekend in an interview with Axios that Fauci be fired for “lack of judgment” for the research funding.

Paul, who has pressed Fauci in numerous Senate hearings on Wuhan lab funding, said Monday that the White House adviser’s National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases also funded “deadly and unnecessary” experiments on beagles.

The NIH, according to documentation unearthed by a group called White Coat Waste, spent $424,555 on research in which live beagle puppies were eaten by parasite-infected flies. Researchers cut the dogs’ vocal cords to stop them from barking, and they later were killed and dissected to examine the efficacy of a potential vaccine for lymphatic filariasis.

Fauci also recently has been accused of spending more than $16 million in taxpayer money in 2018 to experiment on monkeys with toxic brain injections. However, the Associated Press and others reported the National Institute of Mental Health — not Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases — carried out the experiments.

But both the NIMH and the NIAID are part of the National Institutes of Health.

A third accusation recently reemerged that centered on Fauci, as director of the NIH anti-AIDS effort in the 1980s, sponsoring clinical drug trials to treat foster children in New York City who had HIV/AIDs.

A 2005 BBC documentary titled “Guinea Pig Kids” charged the trial targeted minority children, that many died from lethal doses and children were ripped away from their families.

2009 investigation by the Vera Institute of Justice, an independent nonprofit national research and policy organization, concluded those claims were false. The researchers said that while 105 of the 532 children in the trials or observational studies died, none of the deaths was caused directly by clinical trial medication.

However, the New York Times reported in 2009 that the VERA researchers were barred from examining medical records. And the head of the VERA Institute, Vera Myles, admitted that many more children had died than had been listed in their report, noted investigative reporter Liam Scheff.

And the VERA probe found that protocols to ensure that consent was given to enroll the foster children in the program were not always followed.

See Sen. Rand Paul’s interview with Axios:

On Wednesday, two top House GOP leaders called on the Justice Department to follow up on the NIH’s admission it funded the non-profit EcoHealth Alliance’s collaboration with the Wuhan lab in conducting gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses.

Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and James Comer of Kentucky, the ranking members respectively on the House Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight Committee, asked Attorney General Merrick Garland in a letter to look into whether EcoHealth had broken federal laws against grant fraud, the Washington Examiner reported.

Also on Wednesday, Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, noting the NIH recently refuted Fauci’s claims that it never funded gain-of-function research, asked  Garland at a Senate hearing if he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Fauci for lying to Congress.


EDITOR’S NOTE: Last year, America’s doctors, nurses and paramedics were celebrated as frontline heroes battling a fearsome new pandemic. Today, under Joe Biden, tens of thousands of these same heroes are denounced as rebels, conspiracy theorists, extremists and potential terrorists. Along with massive numbers of police, firemen, Border Patrol agents, Navy SEALs, pilots, air-traffic controllers, and countless other truly essential Americans, they’re all considered so dangerous as to merit termination, their professional and personal lives turned upside down due to their decision not to be injected with the experimental COVID vaccines. Biden’s tyrannical mandate threatens to cripple American society – from law enforcement to airlines to commercial supply chains to hospitals. It’s already happening. But the good news is that huge numbers of “yesterday’s heroes” are now fighting back – bravely and boldly. The whole epic showdown is laid out as never before in the sensational October issue of WND’s monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “THE GREAT AMERICAN REBELLION: ‘We will not comply!’ COVID-19 power grab ignites bold new era of national defiance.”
