(New York Post) Bad enough that Anthony Fauci and other top officials flouted the law by funding gain-of-function research at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, where the COVID bug is believed to have originated.
But their attempt to cover it all up only compounded the horror, making it more difficult for honest researchers to understand the virus’ origins.
Now that it’s all in the open, those officials need to pay.

At a House hearing last week, emails revealed that a key Fauci aide at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. David Morens, used a “secret back channel” to hide evidence that a grantee had funded the dangerous research.
Morens bragged about deleting “smoking gun” messages related to COVID’s origins — in blatant defiance of record-keeping laws and in an attempt to obstruct a House probe — to protect Fauci and other colleagues.
He also used a private email address to avoid Freedom of Information Act requests.
In a Sept. 2021 message, Morens noted that he’d “always communicate on gmail because my NIH email is FOIA’d constantly” and he’d “delete anything I don’t want to see in the New York Times.”
In a Feb. 2021 email, he wrote that he “learned from our foia [sic] lady here how to make emails disappear after I am foia’d.”
Could evidence of a coverup be more blatant?
