Timing of #NIH's announcement that Jay Bhattacharya has started as the new director is ... not exactly opportune. Bloodletting today at NIH & its sister agencies, #CDC & #FDA. Many NIH center directors, including Jeanne Marrazzo of #NIAID, have been put on admin leave. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/jay-bhattacharya-begins-tenure-18th-director-national-institutes-health

Whenever Dr. Fauci was actually allowed to respond to questions from Republican lawmakers,
he took the opportunity to push back on many of the conspiracies about his role in the pandemic.
Rep. Nicole #Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) attempted to press Dr. Fauci over claims that Covid-19 originated from a research laboratory, or the so-called “lab leak” theory.
“I don’t think the concept of there being a lab leak is inherently a conspiracy theory,” Fauci responded.
“What is conspiracy is the kind of distortions of that particular subject, like it was a lab leak and
I was parachuted into the CIA like #Jason #Bourne
and told the CIA they shouldn’t be talking about a lab leak.”
When asked if he received any royalties from Big Pharma since 2021, Fauci responded that he’s made “zero” dollars in pandemic royalties.

As head of #NIAID and a presidential adviser, Fauci helped guide the public during the pandemic on measures to avoid infection,
such as mask-wearing and maintaining physical distance.
But at a May 22 hearing, Wenstrup said Fauci’s NIAID “was, unfortunately, less pristine than so many, including the media, would have had us all believe.”
In his letter to Bertagnolli, Wenstrup said there was evidence that a former chief of staff of Fauci’s might have used intentional misspellings
— such as a variant of “EcoHealth”
— to prevent emails from being captured in keyword searches by FOIA officials.
WHY WERE MORENS’ EMAILS ALARMING?
The emails show a pattern of trying to shield communications from public disclosure.
“We are all smart enough to know to never have smoking guns,
and if we did we wouldn’t put them in emails,
and if we found them we’d delete them,” Morens wrote on June 16, 2020.
“The best way to avoid FOIA hassles is to delete all emails when you learn a subject is getting sensitive,” he wrote on June 28, 2021.
Some of Morens’ emails included sexual or sexist remarks, including one from December 2020:
“Beverage is always good, and best delivered by a blonde nymphomaniac.”
In another email, discussing how former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky got her job, he remarked,
“Well, she does wear a skirt.”
Morens apologized at the May 22 hearing and called some of what he wrote “misogynistic.”
“Some of the emails I’ve seen that you all have provided look pretty incriminating,” he testified.
Asked if he ever sent information related to covid to Fauci’s personal email, he said he didn’t remember but might have.
Morens said some of his comments were “snarky jokes” intended to cheer up his friend Daszak, the EcoHealth president, who was receiving death threats over media coverage of his organization’s relationship with the Wuhan lab.
Morens testified that he didn’t knowingly delete official records.
#Ross, the North Carolina representative, said the emails
“inflict serious damage on public trust for the entire scientific enterprise.”
She said the dangers can be seen in eroding public confidence in vaccines, contributing to recent outbreaks of measles.
Rep. Debbie #Dingell (D-Mich.) said Morens showed disdain for the Freedom of Information Act.
The subcommittee’s investigation has been an unfounded effort to pin the blame for the pandemic on NIH and NIAID, and Morens’ emails have helped blur the issues, she said.
DO THE EMAILS REVEAL THE ORIGINS OF COVID?
No, as Democrats have emphasized.
In a way, Morens’ correspondence undercuts allegations that people at the top of NIAID covered up a lab leak in Wuhan.
None of Morens’ emails describe any effort to suppress evidence of a lab leak and, in an email sent from a private account,
he ridiculed the idea, calling it “false to the point of being crazy.”
But the subcommittee’s senior Democrat, Ruiz, criticized Morens for dismissing the lab leak theory.
“Unless and until we see specific evidence on the origins” of the virus that causes covid, “the scientific process requires that we examine all possible hypotheses with objectivity,” Ruiz said.

"DOCUMENTS LINK POTENTIAL #COVID PATIENT ZERO TO U.S.-FUNDED RESEARCH IN WUHAN"
"The #funding came in three grants totaling $41 million, doled out by #USAID and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, or #NIAID"
"That report includes allegations about the #Wuhan labs’ collaboration with #ChineseMilitaryScientists, buttressing what had once been dismissed as a fringe conspiracy theory: that the #virus was connected to #bioweapons research."
