developments we go to matt finn in our west coast newsroom. the national institute of health now admits that u.s. tax dollars were used to fund a limited experiment at the wuhan lab to test its spike proteins from coronavirus is in china were capable of binding to humans. director from the nih states that lab mice that were infected with a modified bad virus became sicker than mice that were given an unmodified bad virus however the nih claims that these particular bad virus is tested in the wuhan lab could not have become the covid virus and the director also claims the nih granted funds to a new york city-based nonprofit eco-health which then sub granted money to the wuhan lab and without being transparent about the testing taking place. all of this information comes as dr. fauci repeatedly denied that u.s. dollars were funding gain-of-function research at the
wuhan lab. senator rand paul that the charge on the idea that the coronavirus came from the wuhan lab and has since tweeted i told you so doesn t even begin to cover it here. senator paul had this to say tonight on fox news prime time. they still to this day are trying to get around the truth. they say it was unexpected that it gained function. how do you know if it s unexpected or not? it is unknown. when it gained function that is something that actually is expected is expected. senator paul questioned dr. fauci about u.s. dollars playing for gain-of-function research at the wuhan lab in may and again in july. knowing that it is a crime to lie to congress, do you wish to retract your statement of may 11th where you claimed the nih never funded gain-of-function research in wuhan? i have never lied before the congress and i do not retract that statement. top scientists including dr. fauci and his boss, nih

effectiveness. laura: hypersonic missiles, now this? come on, i am billions of dollars down a rat hole and the american people are the ones being surveilled. the whole thing, the media did have a role in propping up fauci s big live, watch. nothing brings out senator paul s propensity to act like an ass like a congressional hearing. the media trying to make fauci a covid bogeyman. there s nothing to prevent he keeps embarrassing himself. rand paul, stop it, you look like an idiot. laura: congressman, they are collaborators. they have and i don t think that is any surprise to any good fox beer but here s the bottom line, they knew all along that tax dollars were going into this lab. we wasted months and months and months of investigation to try to prove what they knew all along, that tax dollars were going to this lab and they were
