Republicans Call for Fauci to Be Fired Over Wuhan Lab Controversy
Republican lawmakers have intensified their calls for Dr. Anthony Fauci to be fired after he defended the flow of $600,000 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, the lab at the heart of controversy over the still-unexplained origins of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
Fauci, director of the NIH, said in testimony before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Health & Human Services on May 25 that it would’ve been “almost a dereliction of our duty” for the NIH not to collaborate with Chinese scientists to study how the virus might jump from animals to humans.
