Rand Paul Torches Doctors Warning of ‘S— Show’ if China Accused of COVID Release: ‘The Business of Science’
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., condemned a British doctor’s 2020 Slack message to other prominent virologists regarding the origins of the coronavirus released in connection with a House Oversight Committee hearing last week, saying it is another piece of evidence that public coronavirus narratives were based on business and money, rather than true science.
“This was never about science. This was about the business of science. It was about the money,” Paul, who has sparred with Dr, Anthony Fauci in several hearings,, fumed Monday on “The Ingraham Angle.”
“Follow the money trail, and you see millions of dollars exchanging hands in the first few months of 2020 to the people who came out and said ‘nothing to see here couldn’t have happened in the lab’.”
The missive from Dr. Andrew Rambaut suggested top scientists dismissed the Wuhan lab leak theory over political concerns, as some Republicans have alleged the messaging was meant to adhere to or mimic the company line from Dr. Fauci, then leading the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
“Given the s— show that would happen if anyone serious accused the Chinese of even accidental release, my feeling is we should say that given there is no evidence of a specifically engineered virus, we cannot possibly distinguish between natural evolution and escape so we are content with ascribing it to natural process,” Rambaut wrote in a Slack message to Drs. Kristian Andersen, Edward Holmes and Robert Garry, per a committee report.
