Rand didn't do himself any favors with how he formulated his questions, but Fauci was not very responsive.

So Fauci uses his own weirdly specific definition of "Gain of Function" to avoid being clear about what research they were paying for in Wuhan.

"Molecularlly impossible for the reported strains" blah blah blah. Did they use transgenic mice with the ACE2 receptor? Is it possible the Chinese were doing similar research on unreported strains?

Rand Paul hasn’t done himself any favors since some point in year one of Trump’s presidency. These guys all seem to understand they can’t be against Trump because their constituents will not like that, and it just seems to bring out their inner extreme, because what else have they got?

I'm glad he's pressing on this issue. Eco health certainly shouldn't get any additional grant funding without getting to the bottom of this.

He’s a senator, he didn’t have to purposely & politically trash Dr. Fauci to press the issue. He’s been acting out against Fauci for some time now. Never agreed with him but also never saw him as this type.

There's a certain lack of curiousity in most other political corners. Fauci is a bureaucrat, protecting other bureaucrats, fuck him. He should have been put out to pasture after his AIDS fearmongering.

Fauci's smart. He knows he can wait this out. Now that the red team is anti-CRT 24/7, all he has to do is stall and use semantic games until the evidence is "lost" and he's off the hook. EcoHealth on the other hand should have been raided by the FBI months ago to save whatever data still might exist.

Seems like I'm reading about a lot of Republicans doing an about face on the vaccine lately. Scalise decided to get it, Hannity saying it's safe, McConnell warning about the Delta variant.

Could be very memeable, though.

I don’t know about you guys but I feel weirdly the exact same as I did like 2 months ago before I got vaxed. Wow that is so weird.

This is par for the course. The US Govt needlessly delayed everything by months at every step of this pandemic. Why should foreign aid be treated any differently?

And really, if there ever was a place to require vaccines, prisons would be it.
