They didn\u2019t look at this research at all because they never reviewed it. So no one reviewed this to say it wasn\u2019t gain-of-function research. They didn\u2019t review it, period.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>\u201cSo we learned a lot of things, but I think we reconfirmed that Dr. Fauci is not being honest with us,\u201d <\/strong>Paul urged, adding \u201cYes, the NIH <a href=\"https:\/\/summit.news\/2021\/09\/10\/former-fda-commissioner-fauci-funded-gain-of-function-on-even-deadlier-mers-like-coronaviruses\/\">funded gain-of-function research<\/a>.
