Dr. Fauci and Research at Wuhan

August 12, 2026

The recent Senate Hearings (2026)  highlighted the fact that Dr. Fauci’s diary entries contradict many of his previous public statements on NIAID funding at Wuhan and the actual origins of the pandemic. Left totally unresolved, however, is the nefarious role of several private universities and U.S. intelligence agencies in all of this deadly nonsense.

Real Anthony Fauci: Bi... Kennedy Jr., Robert F. Check Amazon for Pricing. Beginning around 2002–and then continuing despite the Obama Administration’s explicit prohibitions on the funding of “gain of function” (GOF) research in 2015–there were dozens of grants by the NIH and the NIAID to researchers at the University of North Carolina (Dr. Ralph Baric and confederates) and to top Chinese biologists at the Wuhan facility for GOF  virus studies involving a”spike” protein.

The CIA  was involved in all of this. They saw the possibility that the breakthrough GOF research might produce a highly infectious virus that could, perhaps, be used as a bio-weapon. They were also involved because a highly infectious virus prudently requires an antidote vaccine to contain any accidental virus outbreak (lab leak). So decades before the “official” announcement of the Covid 19 vaccine (December 2020), the groundwork research at Wuhan had already been accomplished.

For decades, Dr. Fauci–as Director of NIAID for 38 years–repeatedly made million-dollar grant and funding decisions involving Covid and Covid vaccine research.  Some of this was done through third parties. Yet Fauci HAD to know exactly what was really going on at Wuhan. And he repeatedly lied or played word games with  RandPaul in all of his previous Senate testimony about such delicate matters, feigning ignorance of anything truly sinister.  No wonder he wanted total immunity going back to 2014 and pleaded the 5th (against self-incrimination) this time around. He knew his goose was well cooked.

Deception: The Great C... Paul, Rand Check Amazon for Pricing. The bottom line is that the Covid virus AND the antidote vaccine were BOTH developed directly out of the GOF research (partially U.S. funded) that had been ongoing at Wuhan for years.  That Covid/vaccine research was then  “shared” with pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna that allowed them to do human trials, obtain emergency FDA approval and actually market a Covid vaccine for the general public in December, 2020. That timeline is the ONLY reasonable way that the Covid 19 vaccine could have been brought to the market in only 14 months. Recall that  President Trump said at the time that no vaccine in the history of medical research had ever been developed so quickly. To anyone who knows anything about the development of a novel vaccine, that should have raised red flags to the moon and back. Yet the MSM swallowed Trump’s medical miracle whopper without even a second thought.

I can’t take credit for any of these conclusions. The credit belongs exclusively to Robert F. Kennedy Jr in his all-but-ignored 2023 book “The Wuhan Cover-up and the Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race”. Kennedy’s book names names and connects the dots and provides enough footnotes to satisfy any Ph.D review committee.  Yet the book was buried by the MSM because its facts and conclusions did not fit the government narrative about the origins of Covid, the CIA’s involvement or the timeline development of the Covid vaccine.  No one can claim to speak with authority on this subject without reading  Kennedy’s book.
