Emails show Fauci, Collins plotting to circumvent ‘impressive’ data for COVID natural immunity

The Biden administration grappled with research suggesting natural immunity was more effective than COVID-19 vaccination shortly before federal vaccine mandates in 2021, admitting the rigor of the massive Israeli study and worrying it might undermine its promotion of one-size-fits-all vaccination, newly released emails show.

The Freedom of Information Act production to Protect the Public’s Trust, shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation, gives the most compelling evidence to date that federal officials knew their pending mandates were scientifically shaky yet repeatedly asserted in public – misrepresenting federal research – that natural immunity couldn’t match vaccine-acquired immunity.

The emails add heft to prior claims by a now-former Food and Drug Administration adviser, going back four years, that the feds ultimately rejected natural immunity as an exemption to vaccine mandates for bureaucratic reasons and kept pushing vaccines on all ages and conditions for the sake of simpler messaging, not science.

They also reaffirm the glaring lack of rigorous research by U.S. institutions on basic questions about SARS-CoV-2 and treatment outcomes, with many of the most important findings coming from abroad. The abnormally high risk of heart inflammation in young people post-vaccination, for example, emerged from Israeli data and institutions.

It’s just “more evidence that the public health bureaucracy was ripe for a thorough housecleaning,” Protect the Public’s Trust Director Michael Chamberlain told DCNF, blasting officials for trying to “bury what didn’t fit their preferred narrative” and Americans’ reliance on “Israeli research for their health information” despite billions in federal funding.

Rand Paul to Joe Rogan: DOJ Won’t Prosecute Anthony Fauci for Lying

Making an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience Tuesday, Sen. Rand Paul (R–Ky.) expressed his frustration that the Trump administration has failed to refer Anthony Fauci for criminal prosecution for lying to Congress.

Paul told Rogan that he believes Fauci’s blanket pardon—issued by former President Joe Biden during the waning hours of his presidency—should be challenged in court. Paul said he has provided Attorney General Pam Bondi with evidence that Fauci misled Congress about gain-of-function research and also instructed his deputies to destroy public records in order to stymie scrutiny.

“I’ve summarized it again in a criminal referral to Trump’s attorney general, and I still haven’t gotten action,” said Paul. “They ought to take it to court.”

Paul insisted that he couldn’t guarantee victory in court, given the sweeping nature of the pardon issued to Fauci. But he thought it was worth doing in order to see if the Supreme Court might narrow the pardon.

Reason‘s Christian Britschgi has argued that Fauci’s statements to Congress about whether the agency he oversaw funded high-risk gain-of-function research that could have caused the COVID-19 pandemic were certainly misleading. Moreover, the timeline of the Fauci pardon is quite suspicious, since it covers the period of time during which Fauci plausibly signed off on gain-of-function research despite a presidential executive order mandating a pause on such funding. The pardon window does not cover just his time as the nation’s top coronavirus adviser, nor does it extend to his entire career in government service: It dates to 2014, when President Barack Obama halted gain-of-function research.

Paul and Rogan also recapped many of the erroneous policies recommended by Fauci during the pandemic: made-up social distancing guidelines, mask mandate flip-flops, and vaccine requirements.

It’s always refreshing to see libertarian views being represented on such an important platform. And given President Donald Trump’s misguided zeal to enlist his Justice Department to investigate various political enemies for dubious reasons—James Comey, Letitia James, Jerome Powell, and others—it’s disappointing that the DOJ isn’t contemplating action against Fauci, who is a much more deserving target.

Maybe Bondi just has her hands full drawing black lines all over the Epstein files.

Fauci Warns “Normalization Of Conspiracy Theories Threatens Democracy”

Dr. Fauci warns the “normalization of untruths and conspiracy theories” could collapse democracy.

“Do not accept the normalization of untruths as something that’s normal… from things as ridiculous as that COVID vaccines have killed more people than COVID.”

“And when you normalize untruths, then no one knows what really is true.”

“And guess what? When you look at history, when that happens, that’s when democracies fall apart.”

This clip is from a conversation with Dr. Anthony Fauci at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, as part of the Dr. Lawrence H. and Roberta Cohn Forum series.

It was moderated by Bailey Bowcutt, a PhD candidate at the school, and focused on Fauci’s career in public health, including topics like communicating science and addressing misinformation.

Calls for Anthony Fauci be prosecuted amid Trump’s autopen declaration… while Biden also faces charge threat

Right-wingers are demanding that Anthony Fauci be brought up on charges after President Donald Trump said he revoked all of President Joe Biden‘s autopen-signed executive orders and pardons.

Fauci, who led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for nearly 40 years, received an autopen-signed pardon right before Trump retook the White House on January 20.

Because Trump has long argued that the autopen signatures should not be treated as authentic – while also factoring in Biden’s cognitive decline – Republicans are voicing their belief that Fauci could be prosecuted for alleged wrongdoing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Marjorie Taylor Greene led the charge, writing on X Friday that if ‘autopen pardons are repealed then prosecute Fauci for crimes against humanity’. The Daily Mail approached Greene’s office for further comment.

Nicolas Hulscher, an epidemiologist who works with the McCullough Foundation, said it was ‘time to PROSECUTE Anthony Fauci.’

The McCullough Foundation is known in part for spreading the unsubstantiated claim that vaccines are leading cause of autism.

Another account on X pointed out that Fauci has been referred for criminal charges by Senator Rand Paul, who claims the doctor lied to Congress about gain of function research in Wuhan, China.

Some US intelligence agencies, including the FBI, CIA and Energy Department, all believe with varying degrees of confidence that the SARS-CoV-2 virus could have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

FDA Chief: Fauci ‘100% Involved” In “Massive” COVID-19 Origins Cover-Up

Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary accused former top health official Dr. Anthony Fauci of orchestrating a “massive cover-up” of the origins of Covid-19. In an interview with “Pod Force One” podcast, Makary said that Fauci, who served as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease during the pandemic, worked to suppress the Wuhan lab-leak theory.

“One thing that’s extremely obvious that very few people realize, and certainly hardly anyone in the medical establishment where I come from realized, is that [Fauci] was involved in a massive cover-up of the origins of COVID, a massive cover-up,” Makary, who previously served as a professor at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, told host Miranda Devine.

“Whether or not he was involved in the experiments or funding the experiments that led to the origins of COVID, he was clearly 100% involved in the cover-up,” the FDA head added.

Fauci’s Lies Are Catching up with Him

ver the last year, it has become abundantly clear that Dr. Fauci lied and gaslit Senator Rand Paul during sworn Senate testimony during July of 2021, stating “Sen. Paul, you do not know what you’re talking about, quite frankly. And I want to say that officially, you do not know what you’re talking about.”

But it turns out that Senator Paul did know what he was talking about, and it was Fauci who was lying and deflecting, much as he did during his sworn testimony in the case of Missouri vs Biden. Or maybe it was just a memory failure, as Fauci repeatedly claimed during his Missouri v Biden testimony.

Here is the infamous 2021 exchange, as spun by ABC News:

“On May 11, you stated that NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Paul said. He claimed that gain-of-function research — which could, in theory, enhance the transmissibility of a virus — was performed in the lab and referred to an academic paper by a Chinese scientist, which he then asked to be entered into the record and for a copy to be given to Fauci.

“Dr. Fauci, knowing that it is a crime to lie to Congress, do you wish to retract your statement of May 11, where you claimed at the NIH never funded gain-of-function research and move on?” Paul said, repeating his unsupported accusation. <Note: in the paragraph above, ABC news documented that this was actually an accusation supported by a specific reference>

Fauci flatly rejected Paul’s suggestion.

“Sen. Paul, I have never lied before the Congress. And I do not retract that statement,” he said.

Paul suggested Fauci and the NIH could be partly responsible for the pandemic and the deaths of 4 million people worldwide.

The virology expert <Note: I would not call Fauci a virologist. He is a physician and a politician/administrator. This is a form of the logical debate error of “appeal to authority”> explained that the paper Paul referenced does not represent gain-of-function research, and when Paul interrupted, the shouting match ensued.

“Let me finish!” Fauci said, when Paul tried to interject. “Sen. Paul, you do not know what you’re talking about, quite frankly. And I want to say that officially, you do not know what you’re talking about.” <Note: and that is an classic example of diversion, gaslighting, and academic bullying.>

Continuing their ongoing feud, the two argued over the definition of gain-of-function. NIH Director Francis Collins, in a statement earlier this year, warning of misinformation, said, “neither NIH nor NIAID have ever approved any grant that would have supported ‘gain-of-function’ research on coronaviruses that would have increased their transmissibility or lethality for humans.” <Note: It is now clear that this was another lie>

But Paul would not be swayed.

“You’re dancing around this because you’re trying to obscure responsibility for four million people dying around them from a pandemic,” Paul said.

FAUCI COVID COVERUP: Fauci Directed Colleagues to DESTROY Federal Records – Then Denied It Under Oath

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) released emails revealing Dr. Fauci directed colleagues to delete emails and records – despite denying he did this under oath.

“Newly released emails show Fauci directed colleagues to “delete this after you read it”—dating back to Feb. 2020,” Senator Rand Paul said.

“He denied it under oath. These documents are now public, and Fauci will finally testify before Chairman Rand Paul,” he said.

Fauci instructed his colleague at the NIH to “delete” his email addressing the soaring death rate in New York City.

Call me “full of sh*t,” spin the numbers, and order your staff to “delete this after you read it.”

“The coverup began while the virus was barely on America’s radar. Just one day after the Feb. 1, 2020 Proximal Origins call, Fauci, Francis Collins, and Jeremy Farrar plotted how to “get ahead of the science and the narrative” under WHO,” Rand Paul said.

“Please delete this after you read it,” Fauci wrote.

Anthony Fauci’s explosive secret emails exposing COVID ‘lies’ are uncovered: ‘delete this email after you read’

Emails unearthed by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee appear to contradict testimony previously given by Dr. Anthony Fauci on Capitol Hill.

Kentucky Republican Rand Paul sent a letter Tuesday to the former COVID-19 response director with new demands for him to appear before the committee and tell the truth about efforts to conceal information from Congress about deleting official records.

During a testimony given to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic in June of 2024, Fauci was asked if he ever deleted official records, worked to obstruct Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests, or deleted communications relating ‘to the Wuhan lab or the origins of the virus’, all of which he denied.

Yet, Paul provides two examples of instances when Fauci instructed fellow government employees to conceal information relating to their work.

In the letter, the Kentucky Republican notes that in an ’email dated February 2, 2020,’ Fauci ‘directed then-NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins to “Please delete this e-mail after you read it.”’ 

‘In another email dated July 20, 2020, to an NIH employee [Fauci] stated, “I do not want to engage any more with this nonsense. And so, please delete this e-mail after you read it.”‘

Paul is now calling on Fauci to respond in the next two weeks to the committee’s inquiries about past statements he has made under oath.

The Homeland Security Committee leaders are also seeking to have Fauci appear in front of Congress again before the end of the year, and have sent him dates in October, November, and December to appear before the committee.

Biden Chief of Staff Jeff Zients Who Also Served as Biden’s COVID Response Coordinator Pardoned Dr. Tony Fauci with an Autopen

Jeff Zients is a former Obama and Biden official who served as the Chief of Staff for Joe Biden.

In December 2020, Zients was named as the presumptive coordinator of the COVID-19 response team and counselor to the president.

Jeff Zients was later promoted to Joe Biden’s Chief of Staff from February 2023 until the end of his failed presidency in January 2025 when Joe Biden left office.

In May 2021, Jeff Zients was pushing for COVID boosters ahead of the Biden FDA approval for the shots.

Then FOX News host Chris Wallace roasted the Biden administration for pushing the dangerous COVID boosters early as the Biden team insisted “we will listen to the scientists and we are not going to get ahead of the science.”

Now, according to emails leaked to The New York Times, we discover that Biden Chief of Staff and former coordinator of the COVID-19 response team, Jeff Zients, was a key official in the pardon of Dr. Tony Fauci!

Zients approved of the use of the autopen to pardon Dr. Fauci and others.

Rand Paul Says he will Reissue Criminal Referral of Autopen Pardon Recipient Anthony Fauci to Trump DOJ Amid New York Times Confirmation that Fauci Pardon was Not Approved by Biden

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) announced on Monday that he will once again submit a criminal referall of Dr. Anthony Fauci to the Deparment of Justice after the New York Times reported that White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zeints approved of Dr. Fauci’s pardon. 

Previously, Rand Paul referred Fauci to the Department of Justice for prosecution, following his testimony on the NIH’s role in funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab in 2021.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the New York Times also reviewed some of the emails that the National Archives handed over to the Trump DOJ as part of their investigation into the autopen scandal and confirmed that Fauci’s pardon was not approved by Biden. Rather, “White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zeints actually approved pardons for Dr. Fauci and others on January 19,” they report.

“Biden did not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons that applied to large numbers of people, he and aides confirmed,” the Times reported.

Joe Biden told the New York Times that he “orally granted all the pardons and commutations issued at the end of his term” and lashed out at President Trump as a “liar” for claiming the autopen was used without his authorization.
