Dr. Anthony Fauci, former top COVID-19 response expert in the United States, is set to testify before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on June 3. The hearing follows revelations that Fauci admitted to making up certain COVID-19 guidelines, including the six-foot social distancing rule and masking for children, without scientific evidence. Fauci's testimony is expected to address these admissions, as well as his role in the origins of COVID-19 and potential cover-ups. Republicans have released a transcript of a January interview where Fauci stated he did not recall how the six-foot rule came about. The hearing will also scrutinize Fauci's involvement in gain-of-function research and his communication practices, including the use of personal emails by his deputy, David Morens, to avoid FOIA requests. Chairman Brad Wenstrup will lead the questioning, and Fauci is expected to deny any wrongdoing, including claims related to NIH funding.

Rep Lesko (R-AZ) asks Fauci about gain of function and his emails. Repeats questions from before. Nothing about lockdowns and societal ramifications from corona lunacy. GOP is now 0-5. Fauci is making easy work of them. This isn't a serious hearing.

NEW: Dr. Anthony Fauci *DENIES* any knowledge of top aide Dr. David Morens' actions during the Covid pandemic. Dr. Morens verified that the NIAID was funding "gain of function" research. https://t.co/WtQkCrZ46t
Morgan Griffith (R-VA) is 3rd GOP rep to question Fauci. It's all about gain of function virology debate. Nothing about holding him accountable for lockdown tyranny. Swing and a miss. 0-3 for GOP reps so far. This is a raging dumpster fire of a hearing.

Dr. Fauci lied from day one. Social distancing & mask mandates had no actual science behind it — he just made it up. Schools were shut down. Soldiers were fired for refusing the vaccine. Free speech was silenced. It was never about “science”. https://t.co/wPlttoKmoi
Chairman Wenstrup (R-OH) is first to question Fauci All questions are about GOF, asking Fauci about grants to China, bioweapon talk. Not promising. Nothing about merits of lockdowns, masks, societal ruin, etc. Very disappointing start. Legitimizing pandemic hysteria.
