Rand Paul’s claim that Fauci helped fund gain-of-function research is based on the two men using different definitions of gain of function research. While Paul’s definition makes more sense based on a casual hearing of the phrase “gain-of-function”, other epidemiologists agree with Fauci’s definition, which is based on how it was defined by the Department of Health and Human Services it. The HHS definition required a policy to enhance potentially pandemic pathogens, while experiments Fauci was involved in were on viruses that had not been shown to have this potential due to not being shown to infect humans. Both the NIH and independent screeners agreed it was not gain-of-function based on the HHS guidelines.

Despite some back and forth early on, the evidence now best points toward natural origins for Covid-19, not a lab leak.

There’s no evidence that the virus’s Fauci was involved in evolved into Covid-19.

Paul claims Fauci is a liar, rather than recognizing the regulatory definition that the employee of the government was using. Fauci was using the definition of his employer, which was determined by a formal three-year deliberative process.

This definition was put into effect during the first Trump administration.

Tulsi Gabbard released a lot of files and said they held damning evidence about Fauci. But this wasn’t true. Many people just took her word for it rather than seriously going through the files.

The six-feet guidelines were based on studies on how aerosol viruses spread. The claim they had no basis in science is false.

Fauci stated masks are for healthcare workers but not needed by everyday people before Covid became a global pandemic. As the virus spread, there was more people-to-people transmission, and masks became more available…he advised people to wear masks.

People cherry pick mask studies. The most comprehensive narrative review and meta-analysis of the studies found that masks work.

Rand Paul made false claims about Covid during the pandemic, Fauci pointed out why he was wrong, making anyone in the know see that Rand looked like an idiot. Rand then went on a warpath and is still trying to destroy Fauci.

Comparing Sweden to other Scandinavian countries, which are more similar to Sweden in many ways relative to the United States, Sweden had the highest Covid death rate, and Sweden itself has concluded that its strategy was bad. In Sweden’s second Covid wave, they implemented stricter policies! They corrected course, yet people still claim Sweden’s first wave policies were a success and something to be emulated.

The evidence also supports lockdowns preventing Covid-19 deaths.

Rand Paul is obsessed with prosecuting Fauci, and then Paul and his fellow Republican senators wonder why he pleaded the fifth when they dragged him before them after he no longer worked for the government. While working for the government, Fauci has directly answered many many many questions before Congress.
