“The #Hegseth’s US Defense Dept and the National Institutes of Health ( #NIH ) have signed an agreement providing a “framework to collaborate on biodefense and pandemic preparedness”.

The deal could mean moving as much as $2 billion from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases— roughly one-third the budget of the agency Dr. Anthony #Fauci used to run— to the #Pentagon.”

#Bongino, who stepped down from the #FBI in January…, & other officials helped set in motion a sprawling & aggressive investigative effort that has outlasted his tenure, NYT has learned.

As part of that effort, FBI agents & federal prosecutors have sought evidence related to at least 8 #scientists, among them a Nobel laureate & influential former government researchers like Dr. #Fauci.

At one point, he squared off against an official who questioned the theory that he & many supporters of #Trump had long promoted∶ that the #virus had not merely leaked from a Chinese lab, but that American researchers, among them Dr. Anthony S. #Fauci, had orchestrated a conspiracy to cover up that fact.

The meeting became so heated that Bongino ultimately asked the ofcl to leave the room, an attendee said.

As Dr. Anthony Fauci has faced public scrutiny from congressional #Republicans, the #DOJ has pursued a quieter & more expansive effort against a wider circle of researchers.

I played a version of #TrivialPursuit from 1996 this past weekend. One question was, "What is the leading cause of death among adults age 25-44?"

Answer: #AIDS

Thankfully this is no longer the case. #AnthonyFauci contributed to President George W. Bush’s PEPFAR global anti-HIV/AIDS programs to help save millions of lives.

The #Trump and #MAGA attacks on public heath and attempts to tear down Fauci will make us less able to confront future global health crises.

"But the political heat around the famous doctor may also be an obstacle to something more important: full accountability across the public square over the pandemic, which might improve the federal response to the next emergency."

"'These attacks upon Dr. Fauci — it’s not just about him,' Democratic Sen. Andy Kim of New Jersey said at the hearing last week. 'It’s sending signals to others … our scientists, our doctors, our healthcare professionals, our researchers. (It’s) trying to show to them that if you don’t get in line with the politics, that you will also potentially be subject to attacks.'”

This guy is terrible at deflection and misdirection. He avoids answering questions directly, resorting to reverse blaming—a tactic the far right often uses. It’s infuriating. The decades of substance abuse clearly haven’t helped.

"#COVID ’s #Origins: what we do and don’t know"

Main points...

"Hypothesis one: animals infected with SARS-CoV-2 passed the virus to humans
Most of the peer-reviewed scientific evidence supports this hypothesis."

"Hypothesis two: SARS-CoV-2 was introduced into China’s animal markets from overseas through imported goods. In April last year, the Chinese government endorsed this route as the most likely source of SARS-CoV-2. But almost six years on from the start of the pandemic, we conclude that the available scientific evidence does not support this hypothesis."

"Hypothesis three: SARS-CoV-2 originated from an accidental lab-related event. Much of the information needed to assess this hypothesis has not been made available to the WHO or SAGO."

"Hypothesis four: SARS-CoV-2 originated from the deliberate manipulation of a virus in a lab. We did not find evidence to suggest that SARS-CoV-2 resulting from experimental manipulation was a more likely scenario than it emerging from naturally occurring mutations or recombination events."

Bottom Line: "Overall, perhaps the most important message to emerge from SAGO’s first term is that only rigorous scientific research, not conjecture or political opinion, will help to solve the mystery of where a virus estimated to have killed more than 20 million people by the end of 2022, and which cost the global economy up to $16 trillion, came from. If the world truly wants answers, it must deliver the information and data that make rigorous scientific research possible."

In other words... it is IMPOSSIBLE to say with certainty where/when #COIVD started. IMO, anyone who speaks with certainty is uninformed (most of us) or lying (#GOP #senators) at the hearing.

President Joe Biden issued preemptive #pardons Monday to retired Gen. Mark A. #Milley, Anthony S. #Fauci, members and staff of the Jan. 6 congressional committee, and #police officers who testified before the panel,
in an extraordinary move just hours before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.

In a lengthy statement, Biden explained that he was issuing the pardons not because of any wrongdoing by those included
but to protect them after they had served their country.

Biden’s decision comes after Trump has repeatedly threatened to go after those who have crossed him politically or attempted to hold him accountable for his role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

“These public servants have served our nation with honor and distinction and do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions,” Biden said in the statement.

“I believe in the rule of law,
and I am optimistic that the strength of our legal institutions will ultimately prevail over politics.
But these are exceptional circumstances,
and I cannot in good conscience do nothing,” Biden added.
