Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday defended the US giving hundreds of thousands of dollars for research at a Wuhan lab studying whether bat coronaviruses could be transmitted to humans—saying that it would have been “negligent” not to do so. “It was a… proposal that was peer-reviewed and given a very high rating for the importance of why it should be done,” Fauci told CNN anchor Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.” “[The proposal was] to be able to go and do a survey of what was going on among the bat population because everyone in the world was trying to figure out what the original source

Comments:

Our national policy of keeping blatant criminals in power and in the public eye, while at the same time pressing false charges against innocent people (our rightful president being one example, the January 6 protestors another), is likely part of a demoralization effort. Is this government worth saving? How hard would we fight to prevent a foreign power from bringing us liberty, or to stop the usa from handing national control to the UN?

Scientists should NEVER be trusted with public health matters without civilian oversight and civilian veto-power. Most grant reviewers are way too buddy-buddy with grant applicants.

it's OUR fault. If we had not banned the research as too dangerous he and his bud's would not have had to take it (and the money) to continue their personally invested research to China. Then the chinese military would have had to steal the info to weaponize the virus instead of learning it in house.

The research is not legal in the U.S., Dr. Fauci, which is why you sent the money through a subcontractor to China. You funded the research, Dr. Fauci, not everyone in the world. You, Dr. Fauci and the Chinese, caused all these deaths and economic damages, not the unvaccinated. The unvaccinated are not causing anybody to get sick. Dr. Fauci and the Chinese are doing that. But the western governments are afraid of the Chinese, so they blame their own citizens, who they can bully they think without consequences. They can bully maybe until the end of their terms, then they are going to see how popular they are.

Who were the peers who reviewed these things? Were some of them Chinese -- the very people whose lives are threatened by their own government if they do not toe the government's line? Such a peer review is not worth the paper it is printed on.

Fauci needs to go. It is long past time. If he doesn’t have the sense to know that entrusting a thuggish, dishonest, slipshod, murderous government whose own country is filthy and disease-ridden with research that has the potential to kill millions of innocent people he is negligent or worse. After he leaves he needs to be tried for manslaughter at least 250,000 times. That isn’t even considering any blood money he personally may have made off the deal.

The problem is that China was on the "Honor System" and officials in the US government KNEW that. Who had the authority to provide money for "research" without US health agencies having any oversight? For months we were told China "wasn't cooperating." Really? A hot dog stand is obligated to allow random inspections of facilities in the name of public health. Someone in our health bureaucracy needs to be hauled into court and before Congress to explain how NOT cooperating with the US was even an option when the grant was awarded.

The question frame should have included why Fauci chose to fund a Chinese Communist Party lab, directly associated with the Chinese military that seems to be spoiling for a fight with the US military, the victim of an on-going progressive emasculation campaign.

Wait, what? I thought his story was we were not funding Wuhan. If we wanted to fund research why go the the REDS? Do we not have the best researchers here in the USA? I can think of only one reason why they were funding China, that was the one world commie government conspiracy that involved the Democrat party, the deep state and China.

It was against the law to do this type of research. He knew that and moved the research to China along with some of out tax dollars and then lied about it. Why isn't he in jail?

San Francisco is considering a congestion pricing plan that would charge motorists for entering the busy downtown core—but only if they make more than $46,000 per year. The San Francisco County Transportation Authority is leading the city’s study on the proposal to charge a fee to any drivers who enter the downtown zone, details of which were reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. London has used a similar congestion charge scheme for nearly a decade, but it does not include an income threshold. New York City is currently considering a daily charge of $14 for motorists who enter certain parts of Manhattan.

Parents of children seem to be evenly split on whether or not their kids will be receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, a new poll finds. The new survey, conducted by CS Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health at Michigan Medicine, found that 39 percent of parents said their children already gotten a coronavirus shot. However, 40 percent of parents also said it was 'unlikely' that their children would be getting vaccinated.' Meanwhile, among parents of children ages three to 11, parents are split 50/50 about whether or not their child will get a COVID-19 vaccine once it is approved for their age group.

In 2020, 385 active-duty soldiers died by suicide, marking a steep increase from the 326 cases reported by the Pentagon in 2018. “I’m deeply concerned about the suicide rates, not only here but across the force,” Austin said over the weekend on a visit to the Eielson air base in Alaska. Since 30 December, at least six soldiers have died by probable suicide in Alaska.(Snip) According to the defense department, stress factors for troops include the unpredictability of life in the military.

Atlanta—An Atlanta restaurant is making the bold decision to serve only customers who are fully vaccinated. Argosy Restaurant and Bar, located in East Atlanta Village, is one of the first businesses in Georgia to mandate with signs that say “No Vax, No Service.” The company owner made the decision earlier this week after he and several of his employees, who were all fully vaccinated, contracted the virus as breakthrough cases. “I think it’s a bunch of crap,” said David Carpenter. “It’s everybody’s choice, that’s what I think.” “I personally don’t have a problem with it because I’m fully vaccinated,” said Megan Mewbron.

It was supposed to be a fun Saturday out of town. By the time the family accounted for its 18 members in the parking lot outside the building where the shooting occurred, they were in shock and ready to go back home. How could they have expected a shooting? They were there for pizza and games. Others were there for birthday parties. It was 4 p.m. in the afternoon. “It’s really pathetic and pitiful to me,” Shauna West, 42, said of the shooting inside America's Incredible Pizza Company in Memphis.

The massive immigrant legalization program that Democrats plan to include in their upcoming budget would overwhelm the government’s citizenship agency, adding millions of new cases to an agency that is already running well above its red line, according to a secret internal study. That secret study estimated an 11 million man-hour shortage at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in 2020, according to data reviewed by The Washington Times. That was before the pandemic slammed the agency, further skewing its finances, and before the Biden administration added to its burden with a relaxed approach to border jumpers and plans to expand refugee admissions. “If anything, it got worse

Nancy Pelosi used to point her angry finger at Donald Trump, but she leaves him for dust when it comes to busting norms, dividing Congress and causing mayhem. If anyone is to blame for the hyper-partisanship in Washington these days, it’s the spiteful House speaker. She behaves more like a Mafia don waging a gang war than a dignified, fair and honest presiding officer, which is what the speaker’s role requires. Pelosi abuses her power in ways that once were unthinkable. Her speakership has been the antithesis of Lincoln’s entreaty to “the better angels of our nature.”
