AMAC Exclusive – By W.J. Lee
Well over three years after the first recorded case of COVID-19 in the United States, Americans are still learning shocking new details about the complete lack of honesty and integrity displayed by some of the most prominent members of the scientific and medical community during the pandemic.
Last month, Sen. Rand Paul, (R-KY), asked Matthew Graves, the top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., to investigate Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, for lying to Congress.
In a letter to Graves, Paul alleges that Fauci lied about his knowledge of gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and cites a portion of the U.S. Code which states, “whoever makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation” before a House or Senate committee is subject to criminal fines and up to five years in prison.
Paul’s letter stems from a report from the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released in July which found that Fauci pressured eminent scientists to disregard their own evidence pointing to a lab leak origin of the virus. Instead, according to the report, they published “one of the single most impactful and influential scientific papers in history” that argued for a natural origins genesis of the virus that was “not based on sound science nor in fact.”
Why would our nation’s top scientists commit intentional scientific malpractice? Fauci and former NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins said in private emails they wanted to protect China and the international scientific community, with Collins fearing that “the voices of conspiracy will quickly dominate” – voices that, in the case of those arguing that the lab leak theory should be investigated, turned out to be likely correct.
These recent revelations are yet more evidence that the actions of Fauci and others throughout the pandemic were complicated by a desire to cover for themselves and their peers, not the pursuit of truth and accountability.
While congressional Republicans have rightly continued to work to reveal the truth about what Fauci knew and when, another, perhaps more concerning question is why other top scientists were so quick to capitulate to Fauci’s non-scientific, political conclusions.
For example, Dr. Kristian Andersen emailed Fauci on January 31, 2020, to report his team had found the virus’s genome to be “inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory” – suggesting that the virus did not arise naturally and instead appeared engineered.
But then a bizarre thing happened. Within four days, Andersen co-wrote an influential article promoting the natural origin theory and repudiating his own lab leak hypotheses by calling it a “crackpot theory,” in another email on February 4.
What changed his mind? No new evidence came to light in that short timeframe.
Yet one significant development in those four days was a teleconference between Andersen’s team and their funding agency – headed by Fauci. After the meeting, Anderson fell in line.
So much for the sacrosanct scientific method and corroboration by independent research. Money apparently speaks loudly and the potential threat of pulled funding is deafening.
But the pandemic didn’t spawn this problem, even if it revealed how deep the rot goes.
Nicholas Wade, the famed former editor at the New York Times, Nature Journal, and Science Journal, testified before Congress in March that our scientists’ coronavirus doublespeak, at the behest of Fauci, is a symptom of a much larger problem in America’s scientific research apparatus.
“Scientists,” Wade said, are “easily kept in line because of their dependence on government grants. They hesitated to dispute a position that had the backing of powerful scientific officials, such as Fauci and Francis Collins…Hearing few or no dissident voices from the scientific community, the national media swallowed the natural origin story unskeptically.”
Wade’s testimony highlights the alarming truth that Americans may not be able to rely on scientists to independently verify findings because of the way government grants work.
Similarly the funding for pharmaceutical research often comes from corporate interests that cause “sponsorship bias” in the conclusions.
Reforming the top American research apparatus to follow its own scientific method is a must. We would do well to learn from one of the oldest scientific communities in the world, the Royal Society of London, founded in the 1660s.
Its Latin motto, “nullius in verba,” translated to mean “take nobody’s word for it,” establishes the duty a scientist has to be loyal to the facts. Each member is to withstand the domination of authority by verifying findings with their own independent work.
This is the structural reform our nation’s top research agencies need. It’s time for an American scientific declaration of independence from the bonds of manipulative bureaucracy.
W.J. Lee has served in the White House, NASA, on multiple political campaigns, and in nearly all levels of government. In his free time, he enjoys the “three R’s” – reading, writing, and running.
The reality is Dr. Fauci has escaped accountability for his actions and will never be held accountable. It doesn’t matter what evidence surfaces of his numerous lies before Congress and the American people. He won’t be prosecuted for his actions. Just like Lois Lerner and others in the federal government that violated their oath of office and where people died or their lives were permanently changed, there will be no so-called day in court. The “punishment” for their actions is a early retirement, at full pension, plus either a book deal or some other means of financial renumeration for their service to the left.
Now Fauci is apparently trying to remake himself as a so-called climate expert, as he tries to make a buck off of promoting the climate change hoax. So, expect him to start raking in speaking fees or on-air TV consulting gigs for hyping climate change to the stupid half of the general public. Cha-ching, cha-ching.
At age 70, I am pretty sure that the medical field will never gain back my respect. Because, I have 8 autoimmune diseases I need to see a few of my specialists once, maybe twice a year. I smile and nod as they talk, let them write as many scripts as they want. Let them suggest whatever. When I leave I decide if the scripts are going in the trash can, same with all their advice. Honestly, I feel better today than I have felt in the many years leading up to Covid. I am 70, unjabbed and never been tested. I’ve had a cold or two, but nothing unusual. I might add that I lost 55 lbs and the pulmonologist is blown away by the improvement in my lungs. Just my story.
For Fauci to be walking free right now speaks volumes of how government is complicit in this virus that was unleashed for political purposes . Until this illegal gain of function(to produce a bio weapon) that was funded by the American people there will be no confidence of the people going down the road. Fauci is back at it suggesting masks once again. Despicable to say the least!
Something about this cover photo speaks a thousand words. Does it not?
This ongoing effort to get to the truth and to defend the truth in connection with the coronavirus is appreciated. Very good article Mr. Lee .In the last paragraph — ” This is the structural reform our Nation’ s top research agencies need.” That is a profound statement actually , taking into consideration what exactly Public Health involves . A declaration of independence specifically pertaining to freedom from manipulative bureaucracy — sounds great, that is the right spirit ! In the spirit of everything that encourages good character, good citizenship, respect for law and the will of God, respect for life and liberty. May God bless America and may God bless AMAC for defending the principles of Faith, Family and Freedom. The topic of Legal Epidemiology is interesting and important, it would be great if more people with.Conservative beliefs were to get involved in that field .Praise for everyone who is doing what is right and responsible in order to keep the United States of America the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. May the principles of Honor, Honesty, Integrity, Courage and Loyalty be thought of as aids to navigation to keep the Nation on the right course.

You might note only one state didn’t buy Fauci’s blabber and didn’t shut his state down. DeSantis and Florida.
Fauci should be indicted, tried, and convicted. Period.
Unfortunately Fauci, Gates and the rest of their cohorts have been and will continue to get away with their illegal schemes and deception against Americans. The Republicans in Congress flap their lips a lot but we have yet to see indictments and prosecutions.The DOJ and FBI are run by extreme Leftist Democrats who have no desire to prosecute all involved or even begin investigations. The Republicans are gutless and few have the stomach to get involved and upset the “Good Ole Boys Club” in the Senate and the House which leads us to one conclusion, we need Donald Trump in the White House. We need a proven leader that is willing to stand up for us, our rights and our country. There can be no doubt money talks in politics and this is why we need Trump, he doesn
t need their money, he cant be bought (unlike Biden) he loves America and the American way of life and he will start to clean the DC cesspool from day one! The Left has systematically hit us on all sides with election tampering, destruction of the Constitution and our institutions, our granted freedoms, our rights and our childrens rights to a good education. Wake up America! Wake up!Fauci needs to go to Jail !
For those of us who were paying attention and seeking all available information on the internet rather than listening to “the authorities,” it was clear, by March of 2020, that we were being lied to – by everyone, about everything. Covid was/is the biggest conspiracy of all time and the greatest crime against humanity ever committed. All of “the authorities” were in on it. That includes governments and government agencies (especially health-related agencies), elected officials, the media, academia, and most sadly of all, the medical profession. Those who did not initially go along with the scam were coerced (bribes, threats?) Into going along. The few who still refused were censored, silenced, deplatformed, fired, and decredentialed. Now that so much information about the scam has come out, the truth is known, but those behind the conspiracy are still lying and running cover for each other. They know that the moment one of them admits the truth about the scam, they all go down and go to jail forever. That is why the lies and the scam will continue forever.
For me there’s no “question” for scientists. If you have anything to do with Fauci you’ve relinquished your privilege to be referred to as a “scientist”.
I’m 75 and I took two of the jabs because they (Dr. Fauci and his team) terrified me with all of their lies about Covid!! I trusted these “experts” and what they told me!! But now, 3 years later, after seeing all of this information and evidence, I do believe the Dr. Fauci, the CDC, NIH, WHO all conspired along with the Wuhan Lab in China to defraud the world for their personal gain while millions suffered and many died!! But, sadly, there will be no accountability for any of those people for any of their wrong doing!! I have no faith or trust in the elite of the medical community!!! I have no faith or trust in the federal government!!! I’ll never believe another word they say!!
Get lost Fauci and stay lost! The entire World would have been a better place without you in it!!
Fauci and Biden family hi fiving each other
Fauci is almost as Bad as Biden! Lied to the American people, and trying enrich self.
Dr. Fauci Deceptive? . . . He can’t help it, he hasn’t told the truth since graduating college!
I’ve said from the get-go that Fauci is a fraud. The truth is finally….slowly….trickling out. The real/legitimate research came from some of our scientists/physicians here, who were immediately vilified and often stripped of their medical credentials. Researchers in Europe were the first to make the ground-breaking discoveries re: this deliberately weaponized virus and the killer vaxx (that did nothing but destroy the vax’d persons immune system…cause cardiac problems, create blood clots, etc. I think Fraudci needs to be charged and tried before a military tribunal for treason….as well as many others who perpetrated this massive hoax on humanity.
Don’t forget the entire medical establishment that went along with the cure that kills and banned unvaccinated patients from hospitals. Let’s include both APA’s who validate the lie of transgenderism when once upon a time it was a diagnosed mental illness.
Dr Deep State Fauci and the medical alphabet agencies have put American’s at great risk. Most people will no longer believe anything they put out. That’s very dangerous for the citizens of this country. It’s like the little boy that cried wolf, or chicken little. If there is something really serious most people will fluff it off as more propaganda.
Exactly the same problem is observed with the “global warming/climate change” scientific community. Government money keeps them quiet about the truth of the matter.
He’s crooked and so are all his associates. Hang them.
A picture tells everything two liars together laughing it up big lies to the American people both should be in jail for what they have done.
Excellent article.
Everything Fauci, CDC, and WHO have said are nothing but lies. Check Fauci’s bank account and you’ll see he’s still getting kickbacks.
Check pharmaceutical companies CEO’s bank accounts and see how much they are still getting in kickbacks.
God’s judgement day is coming quickly. He alone is good, loves and wants to save everyone, but will only save those who come to Him through His Son, Christ Jesus. He says all have sinned and fallen short of His glory. His salvation is a gift, pure and simple, but we must ask Jesus to save us in order to get this gift. There is nothing you can do to be saved other than ask Him to save you. After you are saved you will want to please Him by doing good. He doesn’t count our good deeds until we’ve asked for salvation. These people who lie, cheat, steal, etc. will have a big surprise if they don’t turn around and ask for salvation.
Science is NOT served in our system as explained in this article. The FED needs to be cut back in this and many other areas. Civil servants like Fauci serve their own and their sponsors interests. Save us from this perversion!
Fasci has done to the term science what Biden has done to the term democracy.
