 Senator Paul. Dr. Fauci the idea that a government official like yourself would claim unilaterally unilaterally to represent science that any criticism of you would be considered a criticism of science itself is quite dangerous yeah central planning whether it be of the economy or of science is risky because of the fallibility of the planner would not be so catastrophic if the planner were simply one physician in Peoria then the mistakes would only affect that physician's patients the people who chose that physician but when the planner is a government official like yourself who rules by mandate the errors are compounded and become much more harmful a planner who believes he is the science leads to an arrogance that justifies in his mind using government resources to smear and to destroy the reputations of other scientists who disagree with them in an email exchange with Dr. Collins you conspire and I quote here directly from the email to create a quick and devastating published takedown of three prominent epidemiologist from Harvard Oxford and Stanford apparently there's a lot of fringe epidemiologists at Harvard Oxford and Stanford and you quote in the email that they were from Dr. Collins and you you agree that they are fringe and immediately there's this takedown effort a published takedown though you know doesn't exactly conjure up the image of a dispassionate scientist instead of engaging them on the merits you and Dr. Collins sought to smear them as fringe and take them down and not in journals in lay press this is not only antithetical to the scientific method it's a epitome of cheap politics and it's reprehensible dr. Fauci do you really think it's appropriate to use your four hundred and twenty thousand dollar salary to attack scientists that disagree with you that should be good the email you're referring to was an email of Dr. Collins to me if you look at the email that you responded to and hurried up and said I can do it I can do it we've got something in wire no no I think in usual fashion senator you are distorting everything about me did you ever object to dr. Collins his characterization of them as friends did you write back to dr. Collins they know they're not fringe they're a steam scientist and it would be beneath I did not that you responded to him that you would do it and you immediately got an article in wire you sent it back to him said hey look I've got him I nailed him in wired of all science that's not what went on you there you go again just the same thing every year and this wasn't this wasn't the only time so your desire to take down people incorrect as usual senator you are incorrect almost everything well no you deny you deny but the emails can tell the truth of this now this wasn't the only time your desire to take down those who disagree with you didn't stop with harvard oxford and stanford you conspired with peter dayzak you communicated with privately and other members of the scientific community that wrote opinion pieces for nature five of them signed a paper for nature an opinion piece 17 signed a paper that called it conspiracy theory the idea that the virus could have originated in the lab do you think words like conspiracy theory should be in a scientific paper senator I never used that word when I was referring to it you're distorting virtually everything did you communicate with the five scientists who wrote the opinion piece in nature where they were describing oh this there's no way this that was not me but I do you talk with any of those scientists but I keep that you keep the story the truth it is how you talk to any of the scientists privately yes wrote the opinion you did well what were they telling you privately well let me explain you know you're going back to that original discussion when I brought together a group of people to look at every possibility with an open mind so you not only you distorting it you were completely turning it around as most you scientists that came to you privately did they come to you privately and say no way this came from the lab or was their initial impression Dr. Gary and doctors that were involved was their initial impression actually that it looked very suspicious for a virus came from a lab senator we are here at a committee to look at a virus now that has killed almost 900,000 people and the purpose of the committee was to try and get things out how we can help to get the American public and you keep coming back to personal attacks on me that have absolutely no relevance to reality you think anybody has had more influence over this than you have do you think it's a great success what's happened so far did you lock down said for our kids do you think we slowed down the death rate more people have died now under President Biden that did under President Trump you are the one responsible you are the architect you are the lead architect for the response from the government and now 800,000 people have died right you think it's a winning success what you've advocated for government senator first of all if you look at everything that I said you accuse me of an a monolithic way telling people what they need to do everything that I've said has been in support of the CDC guidelines wear a mask get boosted and you've had to make it course take a look at everything I said be done by mandate when you've advocated that your infallible opinion be dictated by law right so again madam chair I would like just a couple of minutes because this this happens all the time you personally attack me and with absolutely not a shred of evidence of anything you say I would like to make something clear to the committee he's doing this for political reasons oh what you need to do is he said in front of this committee you think you're takedown of prominent epidemiologists was not you don't want me to finish you know what I'm gonna say that was the question and taking down these three prominent Emma TV epidemiology if you would please I'm gonna allow this the Dr. Fauci to respond we have a number of senators who would like to ask questions and I would like him to be able to respond please do so the last time we had a committee of the time before he was accusing me of being responsible for the death of five four to five million people which is really irresponsible and I say why is he doing that there are two reasons why that's really bad the first is distracts from what we're all trying to do here today is get our arms around the epidemic and the pandemic that we're dealing with not something imaginary number two what happens when he gets out and accuses me of things that are completely untrue is that all of a sudden that kindles the crazies out there and I have life that threats upon my life harassment of my family and my children with obscene phone calls because people are lying about me now you know I guess you could say well that's the way it goes I can take the hit well it makes a difference because as some of you may know just about three or four weeks ago in December 21st a person was arrested who was on their way from Sacramento to Washington DC at a speed stop in Iowa and they asked the police asked them where he was going and it was going to Washington DC to kill Dr. Fauci and they found in his car an AR-15 and multiple magazines of ammunition because he thinks that maybe I'm killing people so I asked myself oh really what why would senator want to do this so go to Rand Paul website and you see fire doctor Fauci with a little box that says contribute here you can do five dollars ten dollars twenty dollars a hundred dollars so you are making a catastrophic epidemic for your political game so they have politically attacked your colleagues and in a politically reprehensible way things like the recommendations okay you won't defend it no one argue it I'm just simply turn around this hearing we have a number of just one one more minute I really appreciate your response but we do have a number of questions from senators and we do have a second round and I'm being asked to make sure that we everybody has their time so thank you thank you very much for allowing me we will move to all right so you know I commented kind of live there but I do want to end on this he complained and whined there at the end that oh you can't criticize me you can't you can't say these things or raise these questions about me and Congress you can't do that because there's people making threats against me and supposedly some guy with a gun with his car filled with AR-15s he probably had some bump stocks in there as well was pulled over and told the police that he was going to kill dr. Fauci well it's funny that you're complaining about this you're getting scrutiny and you're saying that you're above the scrutiny because this happened is making people crazies out there think that dr. Fauci is killing people well brand Paul and other Republican senators were shot at by a Democrat yelling this is for health care because he was led to believe by Democrats and their state media mouth pieces that Republicans wanted everybody to die because they opposed Obamacare the FBI originally said that that was just suicide by cop and they just sort of forgot about it it fell down the memory hole but then later a couple years later they actually had to come out and admit that that was domestic terrorism so spare me your excuses in your whining Fauci because the guy you're talking to has actually been shot at by the crazies created by the people that love and adore you second Fauci kept defending himself by claiming that the accusations coming from Rand Paul and the questions he was asking weren't part of reality were just in his imagination or had no evidence this is just absolutely false especially when we're talking about the emails that Rand Paul was referring to now I'm not going to read all these emails I'll put a link to it in the description and pin comment but just a couple of these that I found very interesting so in February of 2020 dr. Fauci and dr. Collins and at least 11 other scientists convened a conference call to discuss COVID-19 it was on this conference call that doctors Fauci and Collins were first warned that COVID-19 may have leaked from the WIV and further may have been intentionally genetically manipulated again it's unclear if dr. Fauci or dr. Collins ever passed these warnings along to other government officials or if they simply ignored them so then in April of 2020 more than two months after the original conference call dr. Collins emailed dr. Fauci expressing dismay that the nature medicine article which they saw prior to publication and were given the opportunity to edit did not squash the lab leak hypothesis and asks if the NIH can do more to quote put down the lab leak hypothesis the next day dr. Collins explicitly asked for more public pressure dr. Fauci cited the nature medicine paper from the White House podium likely in an effort to further stifle the hypothesis that COVID-19 leaked from the Wuhan lab then just a couple weeks later he does an interview with National Geographic and just straight up says that there's no scientific evidence the coronavirus was made in a chinese lab so it's very telling to me that Fauci who is unelected is being so combative with a man who is elected to represent the people and instead of just graciously answering the questions he goes on the attack after the elected representative i just have a real problem with that and Fauci to me the way he was acting tells me that he is guilty of something so yeah pretty interesting exchange there between Rand Paul and Fauci which is what we've come to expect i think that's all i have for this one i'm gonna go work on some more videos if you enjoyed it please hit that like button and leave me a comment to let me know what you think
