'Fauci Should Go:' Rand Paul Accuses the NIAID Director of Obfuscation on the Wuhan Lab

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has demanded that Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser, should be fired for allegedly "obfuscating the truth" about U.S. funding of research at China's Wuhan Institute of Virology just before the emergence of COVID-19.

"The nicest way to say this, I think he's obfuscating the truth," Paul told the Christian Broadcasting Network on Tuesday. "The people who supported funding for gain-of-function, the creation of super viruses, who supported funding for the Wuhan institute, should immediately be relieved of their responsibilities... Dr. Fauci should go."

Fauci has denied that funding he helped approve as the longstanding director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases went to "gain-of-function" experiments that could make viruses more deadly or transmissible, calling Paul's claims "entirely and completely incorrect" during a Senate hearing earlier this month.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
