Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) confronted Dr. Anthony Fauci on the National Institute of Health’s involvement in funding gain of function research at the Wuhan biolab in China.
During a hearing with the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions on Tuesday, Paul asked Fauci if he still supported the NIH’s funding of the Wuhan lab with taxpayer money.
“Dr. Fauci, do you still support the NIH funding of the lab in Wuhan?” Paul asked.
“Senator Paul, with all due respect, you are entirely and completely incorrect. The NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Fauci claimed.
