The Facts

  • Dr. Anthony Fauci testified Monday before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, facing tough questions from Republican lawmakers over his role in the government’s response to COVID-19.

  • The hearing was Fauci’s first public appearance since he stepped down as director of the National Institute on Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in 2022 – a position he held for 38 years. He faced questions about the lab-leak theory and his previous statements on the pandemic.


The Spin

The House’s investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the government’s response confirm the suspicions of millions of Americans who didn’t accept the establishment’s propaganda. From enforced social distancing to mask mandates for children to forced inoculations, it appears that the government was making up arbitrary rules at best, and at worst, exercising brutal tyranny.

Like usual, Republicans went full tin foil hat during Dr. Fauci’s hearing, espousing conspiracy theories that have no basis in reality. The pandemic started more than four years ago, and nothing suggests that Fauci or any government officials were involved in a cover-up scheme or lab leak of the coronavirus. When Republicans weren’t yelling over him, Fauci was able to disabuse their arguments and explain how his agency was able to save the lives of millions by promoting safety measures and vaccinations.
