   Hello John,   
      
    JD> The claim against Fauci is that he knowingly lied to Congress when   
    JD> asked about the research at the Wuhan lab.   
      
   Congress is going to be mad as hell!   
      
    JD> It is now proven fact that the NIH WAS in fact funding research taking   
    JD> place there, which Fauci at first denied then admitted to, albeit   
    JD> claiming that the research wasn't "gain of function".   
      
   It is well known that NIH was doing this research and possibly more we don't   
   now about.   
      
    JD> That is now factually disputed by the NIH itself. The term "Gain of   
    JD> Function" is a term used by the NIH itself in defining the type of   
    JD> research that they are permitted to fund. It's illegal for them to do   
    JD> so. That's why Facuci denied doing so.   
      
   What makes you think it is illegal? I just read that in 2017 the NIH had   
   resumed funding gain of function research that was paused in 2014.   
      
    JD> Rand Paul was using the term as it came from the NIH.   
      
   Rand Paul and his ilk are a different issue.   
      
    JD> Then there is the lab funded by the NIH where research ws done on   
    JD> puppies who had their ability to make noises removed so researchers   
    JD> wouldn't be bothered by the sounds of them crying and whimpering.   
      
   This is terrible but this is not the issue here. Things like this probably   
   happen in research settings.   
      
    JD> No matter which way you slice this, the narrative has gone against   
    JD> Fauci and his supporters. Once there are crying puppies involved, it's   
    JD> all over ?   
      
   Wrong.   
      
    Ttyl :-),
