Letter Shows Fauci Lied to Congress about Gain of Function Research

A new letter out Wednesday from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) offers more evidence Anthony Fauci lied to Congress in repeatedly denying that federal health agencies ever funded “gain of function” research.
“The NIH has not ever and does not now, fund gain-of-function research,” Fauci said in May during a back-and-forth with Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul when challenged on an annual $600,000 grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) through EcoHealth Alliance, a New York-based non-profit. “Senator Paul, with all due respect, you are entirely and completely incorrect.”
Five months later, during which new details would emerge to show Fauci lied and would lie again, the NIH has now seemingly contradicted the director of the agency’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
In a letter to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, NIH Principal Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak contended EcoHealth failed to comply with a mandated report as stipulated by the grant that would have triggered a supplemental review process for “gain-of-function” research.
