Dr. Anthony Fauci: What Exactly Did Biden Pardon
On his way out of the White House on Jan. 20, Joe Biden issued a preemptive pardon for, among others, his chief medical advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci. The week before, the federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) took action that will help the nation recover from Dr. Fauci’s COVID regime.
HHS blocked the EcoHealth Alliance and its former president Peter Daszak from receiving any federal funds for a period of five years. Some representatives wanted a permanent ban, and they had a strong case.
EcoHealth was Dr. Fauci’s conduit to fund the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) to conduct gain-of-function (GOF) research, banned by the United States in 2014, which makes viruses more lethal and transmissible. The WIV, a collaborator with China’s military, had received a cargo of deadly pathogens courtesy of Dr. Qiu Xiangguo, the Chinese national who headed the pathogens program at Canada’s National Microbiological Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg.
In 2017-18, Dr. Qiu made at least five trips to the WIV, which collaborated closely with the Galveston National Laboratory (GNL), a creation of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which Dr. Fauci headed from 1984 to 2023. Despite the activity and connections, Dr. Fauci and Daszak maintained that the COVID virus arose naturally in the wild. When medical scientists found evidence of a laboratory origin, Dr. Fauci smeared them as “conspiracy theorists.” CDC director Robert Redfield even got death threats.
In 2020, Dr. Fauci imposed a draconian regime, shutting down schools, even though children were the least vulnerable group. The medical scientists of the Great Barrington Declaration (GBD), including Stanford medical professor Dr. Jay Battacharya, made a case for a more open and humane policy. NIH director Francis Collins smeared these scientists as “fringe epidemiologists” and tasked Dr. Fauci with a “devastating takedown” of the GBD group, most if not all more qualified than Fauci and Collins.
Dr. Anthony Fauci’s bio shows no advanced degrees in molecular biology or biochemistry, and Nobel laureate Kary Mullis, inventor of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, was on record that Fauci “should not be in a position like he’s in.” When critics took him to task, Dr. Fauci claimed they were attacking science itself.
Sen. Rand Paul, a medical doctor, charged that Fauci had lied to Congress about funding GOF in Wuhan but the Biden Department of Justice rejected two criminal referrals. Never held to account, the NIAID boss announced his retirement in late 2022 but he continued to receive a government-funded security and a transportation detail. In 2023, Sen. Paul authored Deception: The Great Covid Cover-up, which prompted no action from the Biden Justice Department.
In December 2024, Dr. Fauci authored a paper claiming that AIDS, like the COVID virus, was “zoonotic,” arising naturally apart from human agency. This contradicted his previous claim that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was the sole cause of AIDS, which had no animal model.
That same month, it emerged that Biden was considering a preemptive pardon for Dr. Fauci. Such a pardon, according to Sen. Paul, will “seal his fate as the architect, author and godfather of the pandemic. He’s the one who funded it. He’s the one who funded the research in Wuhan. He’s the one that allowed the research not to be scrutinized.” Biden’s pardon cancels the prospect of criminal charges against Fauci, whose network remains in place.
The head of bioethics for the NIH is Dr. Fauci’s wife Christine Grady. In her 1995 The Search For an AIDS Vaccine, Grady did not reveal that she had been married to Fauci for 10 years, a highly unethical act of deception. In that book Grady promotes the highly caustic AZT, Fauci’s drug of choice for AIDS, and approves of drug tests on children and pregnant women.
In 2012, when the NIH gave Grady the top bioethics job, the official NIH announcement made no mention of her book or her marriage to NIAID boss Dr. Fauci, a huge conflict of interest. Congressional investigators might ask Grady if her husband ever did anything with which she disagreed. That would include the funding of gain-of-function research at the WIV, sending seniors back into nursing homes, and mandating ineffective vaccines for children, the group least vulnerable to COVID.
Consider also the current NIAID director Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, a non-practicing physician and specialist in venereal disease. Like Dr. Fauci, her bio shows no advanced degrees in molecular biology or biochemistry, both vital for virology. During the pandemic, Dr. Marrazzo backed mask mandates and distancing rules that were simply made up and had nothing to do with science.
If confirmed for NIH director, Dr. Jay Battacharya might get Marrazzo’s take on the Wuhan issue. If the Stanford professor decides to dismiss Marrazzo and Grady it would be hard to blame him. With Dr. Fauci pardoned, the structures and cadres of white coat supremacy must not be left in place. Rest assured that the people will be watching.
