Back in May 2020, CNN used Fauci\u2019s statements on the issue as proof that then-President Donald Trump was spouting a ridiculous conspiracy theory:1<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cFor weeks now, President Donald Trump has been making the case that the coronavirus originated not in nature but in a lab in Wuhan, China,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>CNN wrote.\u00a02<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cEnter Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and perhaps the single most prominent doctor in the world at the moment. In an interview with National Geographic \u2026 Fauci was definitive about the origins of the virus \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what\u2019s out there now, [the scientific evidence] is very, very strongly leaning toward this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated \u2026 Everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature and then jumped species,\u2019 [Fauci said].<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Now, before we play the game of \u2018he said, he said\u2019 remember this: Only one of these two people is a world-renowned infectious disease expert. And it\u2019s not Donald Trump.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh, the difference a year can make. Mainstream media is finally forced to face the fact that Fauci and a number of other so-called \u201cexperts\u201d they\u2019ve paraded before their viewers and readers have been\u00a0no more reliable than your average armchair scientist.<\/p>\n<h2>Fauci Pulls Biggest 180 Yet<\/h2>\n<p>Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Fauci has been front and center, spouting recommendations, over time changing his mind again and again.<\/p>\n<p>A virtuoso of contradiction, he\u2019s flip-flopped on the usefulness and need for masks multiple times, from \u201cAmericans shouldn\u2019t be wearing masks because they don\u2019t work,\u201d to masks definitely work and should be worn by everyone, to you should wear not just one but two, for safe measure.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s gone from promising a mask-free existence once the vaccine rolls out, to insisting mask-wearing is still necessary after vaccination\u00a0<em>because vaccine-resistant variants might pop up<\/em>, to proposing we might need to wear masks\u00a0<em>every flu season in perpetuity<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>His biggest flip-flop to date, however, has to be his stance on the origin of SARS-CoV-2.\u00a0As reported by Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti in a May 24, 2021 \u201cRising with Krystal &amp; Saagar\u201d episode (see video above), Fauci is now claiming he\u2019s \u201cnot convinced\u201d the virus had a natural origin after all, and that we must continue to investigate \u201cwhat went on in China until we find out, to the best of our ability, what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Considering Fauci\u2019s opinion has been used by mainstream media pundits and fact checkers to censor any and all other experts \u2014 including people with far more impressive credentials than\u00a0Fauci, who at the end of the day is an administrator, a paper-pusher, not a working scientist\u00a0\u2014\u00a0this very public 180-degree turn is no doubt causing embarrassment among many mainstream reporters.<\/p>\n<p>Krystal and Saagar both look uncomfortable having to explain how the media, en masse, ended up being so wrong for so long.<\/p>\n<h2>Mainstream Media Scramble to Justify Their Errors<\/h2>\n<p>According to Krystal and Saagar, new information indicating\u00a0workers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) fell ill with COVID-like symptoms in November 2020\u00a0now make the lab leak theory the most plausible.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s so ironic about that statement is that this isn\u2019t new information that would definitively tip the scale. It\u2019s just that\u00a0now, all of a sudden, it\u2019s not being dismissed off-hand.\u00a0The weight of the evidence has, for over a year now, strongly leaned in the direction of SARS-CoV-2 being a lab creation that somehow escaped.<\/p>\n<p>Now, mainstream media are scrambling to save face, and it\u2019s rather hilarious to watch them trying to justify their previous refusal to do what journalists and reporters are expected to do: Report the facts without interjecting their own\u00a0personal opinions and biases.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you\u2019d be hard-pressed to find an unbiased news outlet these days \u2014 it\u2019s all tightly and centrally controlled, as detailed in \u201cReuters and BBC Caught Taking Money for Propaganda Campaign\u201d \u2014 so in all likelihood, the only reason mainstream media are now starting to report on the lab leak theory is because of\u00a0the success of alternative media.<\/p>\n<p>Their viewers simply aren\u2019t buying what they\u2019re selling anymore, so they have no choice but to acknowledge what a majority of people already know, or lose what little credibility they have left.<\/p>\n<h2>The Case for the Lab-Leak Theory<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qVVE6MD7tRw?wmode=transparent&amp;rel=1&amp;version=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In the video above, Freddie Sayers interviews\u00a03\u00a0Nicholas Wade, a former New York Times science writer, about the two primary origin theories.

So I have only clues, not conclusions, to offer. But those clues point in a specific direction.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>In summary, the preponderance of clues leans toward SARS-CoV-2 originating in a lab, most likely the WIV, and having undergone some sort of manipulation to encourage infectiousness and pathology in humans.<\/h4>\n<p>As just one example, there\u2019s research dating as far back as\u00a01992\u00a0detailing how\u00a0inserting a furin cleavage site right where we find it in SARS-CoV-2\u00a0is a \u201csure way to make a virus deadlier.\u201d One of 11 such studies was written by\u00a0Dr. Zhengli Shi, head of coronavirus research at the WIV.<\/p>\n<p>The arguments laid out in support of natural origin theories, meanwhile, are grounded in inconclusive speculations that require you to throw out scientifically possible scenarios. From a scientific standpoint, doing so is ill advised.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cIt seems to me that proponents of lab escape can explain all the available facts about SARS2 considerably more easily than can those who favor natural emergence,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Wade writes.\u00a07<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Fauci Pulls 180 Turnabout on Gain-of-Function Backing, Too<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xw0n3HZXLmo?wmode=transparent&amp;rel=1&amp;version=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Getting back to Fauci, he\u2019s also now\u00a0denying ever having\u00a0funded gain-of-function research, even though there\u2019s irrefutable evidence that he did.\u00a0As reported by the National Review:8<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cDr. Roger Ebright, a professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Rutgers University and biosafety expert, is contesting \u2026 Fauci\u2019s testimony before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee on [May 11, 2021].<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Dr. Fauci\u2019s claim \u2014 made during an exchange with Senator Rand Paul<\/em><em>\u00a09<\/em><em>\u00a0\u2014 that\u00a0\u2018the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology\u2019 is \u2018demonstrably false,\u2019 according to Ebright \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A research article written by WIV scientists, \u2018Discovery of a rich gene pool of bat SARS-related coronaviruses provides new insights into the origin of SARS coronavirus,\u2019\u00a010<\/em><em>\u00a0for example,\u00a0qualifies as gain-of-function and was clearly a product of NIH-funding.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ebright insists that the research can be classified as gain-of-function under a number of different definitions, including those found in two pieces of Department of Health and Human Services guidance on the subject.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The first<\/em>\u00a0<em>details the Obama administration\u2019s 2014 decision to halt domestic gain-of-function research, which it defines as that which \u2018may be reasonably anticipated to\u00a0confer attributes to influenza, MERS, or SARS viruses such that the virus would have enhanced pathogenicity and\/or transmissibility\u00a0in mammals via the respiratory route.\u2019\u00a011<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The second \u2014 drafted in 2017 as Fauci was pushing to renew government funding for gain-of-function research \u2014 provides a definition of what are called \u2018enhanced potential pandemic pathogen (PPP)\u2019 or\u00a0those pathogens \u2018resulting from the enhancement of the transmissibility and\/or virulence of a pathogen.\u2019\u00a012<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ebright claims that the work being conducted at the WIV, using NIH funds originally granted to Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance, \u2018epitomizes\u2019 gain-of-function research under the definition HHS provided in its guidance, and is the exact kind of research that led the Obama administration to conclude that gain-of-function was too dangerous to continue domestically.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Fauci and NIH Try to Redefine \u2018Gain-of-Function\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Essentially, Fauci is now trying to redefine what \u201cgain-of-function\u201d actually is.\u00a0However, as explained above, the type of research Fauci has been funding at the WIV has always and repeatedly been referred to as gain-of-function.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci appears to have been, at best, mistaken while sparring with Senator Paul \u2026 At worst, he was playing tenuous word games meant to deceive. ~ The National Review<\/p>\n<p>It appears as though Fauci and National Institutes of Health director\u00a0Dr. Francis Collins\u00a0are preemptively trying to position themselves in such a way as to distance themselves from future blame, should the lab leak theory be proven true. In a May 19, 2021, statement, Collins backed Fauci\u2019s convoluted word-wrangling and attempts at rewriting the definition of gain-of-function research, stating:\u00a013<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cBased on outbreaks of coronaviruses caused by animal to human transmissions such as \u2026 SARS and \u2026 MERS, NIH and the NIAID have for many years supported grants to learn more about viruses lurking in bats and other mammals that have the potential to spill over to humans and cause widespread disease.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>However, neither NIH nor NIAID have ever approved any grant that would have supported \u2018gain-of-function\u2019 research on coronaviruses that would have increased their transmissibility or lethality for humans.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In other words,\u00a0both admit they funded research at the WIV and other places, but they insist none of it was gain-of-function specifically, so even if the COVID-19 pandemic turns out to have been the result of a lab leak at the WIV, Fauci and Collins had no part in the creation of that particular virus \u2014 or any other virus capable of causing a deadly pandemic \u2014 and should not be on the list of people to be held accountable.<\/p>\n<h2>Wordplay Won\u2019t Save Fauci<\/h2>\n<p>Considering what the NIH has stated previously, and what we already know about the coronavirus research the NIAID\/NIH funded, Collins\u2019 statement appears to be a desperate lie, issued to prop up Fauci\u2019s indefensible stance that no gain-of-function research was ever funded.<\/p>\n<p>For example, as reported by the National Review,14\u00a0we know that\u00a0the WIV received NIAID\/NIH funding to create novel chimeric SARS-related coronaviruses capable of infecting both human cells and lab animals.\u00a0\u201cChimeric viruses\u201d refers to artificial man-made viruses, hybrid organisms created through the joining of two or more different organisms. This is precisely what gain-of-function research is all about. So, as noted by the National Review:15<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cFauci appears to have been, at best, mistaken while sparring with Senator Paul \u2026 At worst, he was playing tenuous word games meant to deceive.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, Fauci and Collins have good reason to develop sudden amnesia when it comes to the definition of complicated words like \u201cgain-of-function.\u201d While statistics have been massively manipulated to overcount COVID-19 deaths, there\u2019s no doubt that this pandemic has been one of the most destructive in modern history.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, we can blame global and regional leaders for playing along with the globalist game to use a hyped-up pandemic to justify a\u00a0Great Reset\u00a0of our global economic and societal systems, but without doubt,\u00a0the creators of this virus will not get off scot-free, and neither will those who enabled its creation. And those people may well include Fauci and Collins at the NIAID and NIH.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of it all, should SARS-CoV-2 be deemed a man-made bioweapon, even if its release was a total accident, which appears to be the case, a number of individuals stand to lose their careers, and perhaps their freedom, as the punishment for having anything to do with the creation of biological weapons includes both potentially hefty fines and lengthy jail sentences. The Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989 states:16<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cWhoever knowingly develops, produces, stockpiles, transfers, acquires, retains, or possesses any biological agent, toxin, or delivery system for use as a weapon, or knowingly assists a foreign state or any organization to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for life or any term of years, or both.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Gain-of-Function Research Is the Real Threat<\/h2>\n<p>I believe research cooperation and sharing between nations is such that blame will ultimately be shared by multiple parties. The key issue, really, if SARS-CoV-2 did in fact come from a lab, is how do we prevent another lab escape? And, if it turns out to have been a genetically manipulated virus, do we allow gain-of-function research \u2014 based on the conventionally accepted definition \u2014 to continue?<\/p>\n<h4>I believe the answer is to ban research that involves making pathogens more dangerous to humans. As it stands, the same establishment that is drumming up panic by warning of the emergence of new, more infectious and dangerous variants is also busy creating them.<\/h4>\n<p>World leaders need to realize that funding gain-of-function research is the real threat here, and take action accordingly to forestall another pandemic. As long as researchers are allowed to mutate and create synthetic pathogens, they\u2019re creating the very risk they claim they\u2019re trying to prevent. We got off easy this time, all things considered. The next time, we may not be as lucky.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/beforeitsnews.com\/alternative\/2021\/06\/the-fall-of-saint-anthony-fauci-will-mr-flip-flopper-go-to-jail-videos-3751879.html\">https:\/\/beforeitsnews.com\/alternative\/2021\/06\/the-fall-of-saint-anthony-fauci-will-mr-flip-flopper-go-to-jail-videos-3751879.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Biggest Flip-Flop Ever &amp; Who\u2019s Going to Jail?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-67882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=67882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67882\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=67882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=67882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=67882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
