A viral video showcases numerous times outgoing NIAID director Anthony Fauci lied to Congress about the National Institutes of Health funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, after Twitter CEO Elon Musk lodged similar accusations at the former Biden Covid-19 task force leader.
The video compilation comes as Musk ran afoul of liberal leftists for tweeting, “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci,” prompting Ariz. Sen. Mark Kelly (D) to admonish him for the supposed micro-aggression.
I strongly disagree. Forcing your pronouns upon others when they didn’t ask, and implicitly ostracizing those who don’t, is neither good nor kind to anyone.
As for Fauci, he lied to Congress and funded gain-of-function research that killed millions of people. Not awesome imo.

Responding to Kelly, Musk replied, “I strongly disagree. Forcing your pronouns upon others when they didn’t ask, and implicitly ostracizing those who don’t, is neither good nor kind to anyone.”
“As for Fauci, he lied to Congress and funded gain-of-function research that killed millions of people. Not awesome imo.”
Many users on Twitter lauded Musk’s efforts to hold Fauci to account.
Here’s a video of Fauci at an NIAID Advisory Council Meeting discussing the NIH’s funding of gain-of-function back in 2018.
Also, here’s EcoHealth Alliance’s Peter Daszak admitting his “colleagues in China” performed research into gain-of-function and spike proteins.
Indeed, it’s a new day on Twitter in terms of censorship when its CEO is calling out Fauci for gain-of-function research, as doing so on the platform about 2 years ago would have resulted in a ban.
