During this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) argued there was evidence at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic that former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci “orchestrated” a cover-up.
According to the Kentucky Republican, Fauci was aware of evidence that tied him to “dangerous” research on the virus.
“What about Anthony Fauci’s accountability, and is the media complicit?” host Maria Bartiromo asked.
“What we know is, from the very first days of the pandemic in January 2020, that Anthony Fauci orchestrated an elaborate cover-up,” Paul said. “He knew there was a problem. At 3:00 in the morning, he was emailing somebody on January 31. And that person was head of the committee that was supposed to review dangerous research, the P3CO committee, the potential pandemic pathogens. It was supposed to look at this dangerous research. But Fauci allowed it to go around that.”
