“We were told gain-of-function research was safe. Now we're learning the Pentagon solicited proposals for the very experiments that could have created COVID.”

“My committee combed through millions of COVID documents, and what did we find? Anthony Fauci destroyed records. He told others to delete emails. And then he told them to delete them from deleted files. He and his allies privately doubted the "implausible" line on a lab leak”

“COVID didn't just expose a virus. It exposed how quickly Washington will strip away your basic freedoms the moment it's given an excuse. Lockdowns that closed churches while liquor stores stayed open. Mandates that cost people their jobs. Restrictions with no science behind them, just fear and control. We cannot treat that as normal. Liberty doesn't survive if we forget how easily it was taken.”

“Even Biden’s COVID coordinator, @ashishkjha , is saying what most of us have said all along: the pandemic was very likely the result of an accidental lab leak.”

“The far-Left would rather be contrarian than correct: Anthony Fauci gets a crown, basic biology is thrown out the window, and we’re told socialism is the answer to all our problems.”

“Those of us who questioned “the science,” the origins of COVID, and the unnecessary vaccines were called conspiracy theorists, murderers, and told we didn’t care about our family, friends, or neighbors. Like so many of us, @AaronRodgers12 was vindicated.”

“Why did a private citizen with no official public health role get security clearance to sit in on government pandemic discussions? Bill Gates helped shape COVID policy, and Americans never got to vote on it.”

“The HSGAC hearing with Anthony Fauci wasn't about relitigating COVID for its own sake. It was about accountability. Fauci said one thing publicly and another privately. He coordinated to control the narrative. He shaped guidance around politics instead of truth. If we don't demand real accountability and reform, nothing stops the next unelected bureaucrat from doing the exact same thing.”

“Despite being a private citizen with no public health role, Bill Gates was involved in high-level COVID briefings and played a direct role in shaping America’s pandemic response.”

“Anthony Fauci told Congress that NIH "has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research" in Wuhan. His own diary says 10 of 12 experts believed an accidental lab release was likely because gain-of-function research was going on for years in Wuhan. He had a chance to tell the American people the truth, under oath. Instead, he pled the Fifth 111 times.”

“I think he knows that he's guilty of having funded dangerous research that led to the pandemic. I think the evidence is now so overwhelming.”

“The Boston Herald is right. Americans have a right to be skeptical of the decisions and recommendations Dr. Fauci made. We deserve to know the truth about what took place, especially when he was saying one thing publicly and something completely different in his diary. https:// bostonherald.com/2026/07/31/edi torial-when-follow-the-science-becomes-i-plead-the-fifth/ …”

“Great question from @stephenasmith : who decides what counts as gain-of-function research, scientists, Congress, or a jury? My answer: stop hiding behind the definition. EcoHealth's own emails thank NIH for turning their "gain-of-function" money back on. Fauci's team used the term themselves. The real question was never semantics. It was whether this research was dangerous and whether it should have been funded at all.”

“Read this Fauci diary entry closely. Officials would not admit the vaccine was not stopping spread because it might weaken the legal case for mandates. That is not science. That is a cover-up to justify coercion.”

“Great discussion with @stephenasmith on why I still have serious questions for Dr. Fauci. In 2010, before any pandemic existed, Fauci argued in The Washington Post that even a lab leak causing a pandemic would be worth the "knowledge" gained. That is not a pandemic-era mistake. That is a philosophy he held for over a decade and used as justification for funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan starting in 2014.”

“Remember: Anthony Fauci was all about “following the science,” until it came to vaccines. He was all about forcing you into compliance, even though we all knew infection was the best protection.”

“The kids who lost a year or more of school didn't get a vote on lockdowns. They're the ones paying the price today, in learning loss and isolation, for decisions made by bureaucrats – like Anthony Fauci – who never once had to answer for them.”

“Anthony Fauci is fully protected by a sweeping pardon, immune from prosecution, and he still refuses to comply with a lawful subpoena. That's the very definition of contempt for the American people. On Thursday, the HSGAC will vote to hold him in contempt.”

“Like I told @DanaPerino and @BillHemmer : If you have nothing to hide, you don't need a blanket shield from prosecution. Anthony Fauci got one anyway, and nobody will say why. What we do know is he spent years deleting emails, deleting them again from the deleted folder, and asking others to erase voicemails. That silence tells you everything.”

“My plan, moving forward, is for the HSGAC to vote on contempt charges for Anthony Fauci. Once it passes the committee, we would send the referral directly to the DOJ for prosecution.”

“It's one thing for me to say Fauci looked evasive in that hearing room. It's another for an independent body language expert to review the tape and describe visible signals of deception the moment the tough questions arose.”

Free speech & the media 1 quote

Posted it themselves Aug 2

“Every American who watched the legacy media cover COVID owes it to themselves to read Fauci's own diary. It reads less like a public health record and more like a group chat between Fauci and the anchors who were supposedly holding him accountable. They had dinners during quarantine, texts calling Fauci the better man, and an anchor thanking him for dodging a hard question. Meanwhile, CNN and ABC have gone almost completely silent on their own reporters' role in this. If they wonder why nobody trusts them anymore, they should start with their own archived text messages.”
