The NIH either funded so-called gain-of-function research to juice up bat coronaviruses in China, or it didn\u2019t. Turns out it did. And it did it by exploiting a loophole in an Obama-administration ban on the Frankenstein research put in place in 2014.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fauci\u2019s defensive answer at the Poynter event this month was in response to a mild-enough question about the coronavirus: \u201cAre you still confident that it developed naturally.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rattled by the morning\u2019s confrontation with Sen. Paul, Fauci for the first time admitted he was not at all confident the virus had \u00addeveloped naturally and maybe, just maybe, it could have come from a lab leak. But he still tried to have the last word against Paul.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the real unfortunate aspect of what Senator Paul did is he was conflating research in a collaborative way with Chinese scientists which was, you\u2019d almost have to say if we did not do that we would almost be irresponsible because SARS-CoV-1 [the coronavirus responsible for the 2003 Asian SARS outbreak] clearly originated in China and we were lucky to escape a major pandemic so we really had to learn a lot more about the viruses that were there, about whether or not people were getting infected by viruses, so in a very minor collaboration as part of a subcontract of a grant, we had a collaboration with some Chinese scientists. He conflated that .\u2009.\u2009. therefore we were involved in creating the virus which is the most ridiculous majestic leap I\u2019ve ever heard of.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"Security personnel gather near the entrance of the Wuhan Institute of Virology during a visit by the World Health Organization team in Wuhan in China's Hubei province on Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2021.\" class=\"wp-image-18355568 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/faucis-lies-694.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/faucis-lies-694.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/faucis-lies-694.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/faucis-lies-694.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/faucis-lies-694.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Security personnel gather near the entrance of the Wuhan Institute of Virology during a visit by the World Health Organization team in Wuhan in China\u2019s Hubei province on Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2021.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP Photo\/Ng Han Guan<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Methinks he doth protest too much.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Paul, a medical doctor, did not allow Fauci to slide away as usual from a direct answer to the crucial question: did American taxpayers fund dangerous research to \u201cjuice up\u201d bat viruses in the Wuhan Institute?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He answered no.
