this taxpayer money that was going to ecohealth that ended up in the wuhan lab? this was dr. fauci signs off on that and animal testing happening right here in the united states that could be considered gain of function research, reseason on beagle puppies. he is telling us he didn t know a lot of this stuff he just signed off the paperwork. where is the accountability? the buck stops with you the director of niad. todd: overeffort to bypass the freedom of information act laws that exist to give us the american people information. his right-hand man there dr. david morens emails leaked i learned from our foia lady here how to make emails disappear and another email suggesting that someone contact fauci through a secret back channel. now, moren, during his testimony was careful to avoid implicating
this hearing today, and what our expectations should be here. weir uncovering a lot of discrepancies between what dr. fauci has told the committee and what his senior adviser and other staff members at nih has told the committee trying to get to the bottom of the accountability, who is lying to this committee? who is committing perjury? who is responsible for the destruction of government records? whose idea was it to use a gmail, personal gmail instead of using government emails instead of freedom of information laws. that s what we are trying to uncover. also get down to the science component. told to fault science. now we find out 6 feet apart was a number they pulled out of thin air. dr. fauci and his scientists made hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties from the various pharmaceutical comp companies. were mandates given particular who i have they could enrich themselves? that s the other thing i would like to know. also, who is signing off on all
go after spillover, they thought they were protecting science. i think in reality what they did by not aggressively going after both hypotheses including the lab leak they hurt the credibility of science. bill: i learned from our foia lady that s quite a phrase how to make emails disappear after i m foiaed but before the search starts and i think we re all safe. what a lot of americans are wondering, if tax dollars went to the wuhan lab, we need to know. and if gain of function achieved this, we need to know. how much have you thought about how we prevent the next virus from happening? yeah, i think it s so important, bill. this as i wrote an op-ed in the wall street journal. i called for a moratorium on gain-of-function research. i think that research in my view, my opinion, is what caused
trouble misconduct by the doctor from eco health. in less than two weeks ago we heard from dr. morens about his straylation of the foia requirements and the potential destruction of federal records. both doctors deserve to be held accountable for betraying the public s trust. to hold them accountable is not anti-science, it is the defense of our federal scientific and research institutions, decades long legacy of advancing the scientific enterprise to safeguard human health. but baselessly suggesting without evidence that these discrete instances of misconduct are equivalent to our nation s scientists and public health officials causing the covid-19 pandemic, which has killed more than 1 million americans and
years. the scale of the effort to evade foia by some at the national institution of allergy and infectious diseases that s surprised even me. they were among your most senior and trusted staff at an agency you led for nearly 40 years and worked for you for decades. calendar shows you met with them multiple times a week during the pandemic and co-authored dozens of papers with dr. morens and directly imply indicates you, even the head of the naiad foia office was in on some of this conspiracy. my colleagues on the other side love the say we re always talking about conspiracy. when the facts lead you that your agency was involved in some form of a conspiracy related to covid origins, we have to follow those facts. it is hard to believe that all of this occurred without your knowledge and/or approval.
