‘Science Doesn’t Belong To Any One Person’: Lawmakers Grill Fauci On Pandemic Origins

Lawmakers grilled Dr. Anthony Fauci, who served as chief medical advisor to President Biden during the COVID-19 pandemic, for his assertions that he wasn’t responsible for the six-foot social distancing rule and other policies during his Monday testimony to the House Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.

The subcommittee’s chair, Ohio Republican Rep. Brad Wenstrup, took aim at Fauci’s infamous “I represent science” comments in his opening remarks.

“Science doesn’t belong to any one person,” Wenstrup said.

Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin later offered the first trickle of what would become a torrent effusive praise and penitence from the subcommittee’s minority side.

"Dr. Fauci, You deserve better than this," Democrats keep saying.

Reminder that this is the OVERSIGHT committee, which is supposed to provide oversight of the government.

When Fauci's contacts in the Democratic Party and the media are long gone, historians are going to marvel…

“The investigation of Dr. Fauci shows he is an honorable public servant who has devoted his entire career to the public health and the public interest and he is not a comic book supervillain,” Raskin claimed. “He did not fund research to create the COVID-19 pandemic. He did not lie to Congress about gain of function research in Wuhan and he did not organize a lab leak suppression campaign.” (Read more from “‘Science Doesn’t Belong To Any One Person’: Lawmakers Grill Fauci On Pandemic Origins” HERE)
