Kentucky’s Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul is going on the attack over the origins of the coronavirus pandemic with an expose on what he said are the U.S. government agencies that conspired with labs in Wuhan, China, to engineer a “highly transmissible” form of the virus.
Sen. Paul took to his X account on Tuesday to bring attention to his charges, taking particular aim at Dr. Anthony Fauci, the now-former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
“Newly obtained documents confirm yet again Fauci lied about COVID,” Paul wrote on X. “Fauci’s NIH lab was a partner with Wuhan on a proposal to engineer a highly transmissible coronavirus in 2018. But he wasn’t alone, 15 government agencies knew about it and said nothing.”
“Americans deserve answers,” he concluded. Paul, who tangled repeatedly with Fauci while Fauci was the public face of the government’s response to COVID, also published a commentary piece Tuesday on Fox News laying out more specifics. The bare-knuckle headline showed it wasn’t going to pull punches: “The Great COVID Cover-up: Shocking truth about Wuhan and 15 federal agencies.” In the piece, Paul wrote that “my investigation has recently discovered government officials from 15 federal agencies knew in 2018 that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was trying to create a coronavirus like COVID-19.” He wrote that it was called the DEFUSE project.
“Disturbingly, not one of these 15 agencies spoke up to warn us that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been pitching this research,” Paul wrote. “Not one of these agencies warned anyone that this Chinese lab had already put together plans to create such a virus.” (Read more.)
