Fauci Blasts Rand Paul: ‘You Do Not Know What You’re Talking About’
Fauci has to be one of the most patient individuals on the planet. Putting up with paul’s b.s. time after time. Looks like he’s finally had enough.
@Miles Townsend If anyone’s a liar here. IT IS YOU. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT.
@Julie Crane be sure get your kids vaccinated to with that experimental drug…
@giles ashton youtube does not let me provide links. Watch anything but MSNBC and you might get some real information and not pure propaganda.
@Blue Socks 😂 sure, sure.
@Marie Ross No cure for stupidity, sorry.
Not knowing has never stopped Rand Paul yacking on before.
@I. D. Standing next to the Trump mob, just line the lot of them up and lead them through the big metal gate with razor wire all around the fence. Trump gets the added bonus of his wall , well four of them and a locked door.
You all are a joke. Go watch the whole exchange. Go read the fauci emails. Stop being a a fanboy and licking boots like these people are family members while real family meme era are dying
@Nhung Ngo dummy alert. Herd immunity will be achieved by the deaths of the unvaccinated. Do your part. Democrats thank you.
@The Greatest Oh bullshite. I watched the whole exchange. It was embarrasing with Paul trying to threaten Fauci with arrest and prison for “lying”. That’s rich coming from one of the biggest lying hypocrites in the Senate. The guy’s got more than a few screws loose.
Remember when Raccoon Rand caught Covid and showed up at Senate maskless? He’s dumber than a bag of hammers. But the same idiots who give their SS checks to Televangelists love him! God Bless Dr. Fauci
Dr. Anthony Fauci having to explain virology and how and why things are done to try and fight the outbreak of a pandemic to senators is like Neil Degrasse Tyson having to explain astrophysics to a two-year-old…
@ROFFLESTOMP Lol. Q comes from the southern poverty law center. It’s sad that you fall for Q.
Let’s not insult two year olds!
@GeorgiaBessie – Rand Paul must be the most powerful genius in the world if he could do the cliff notes, pass all the exams and residency and then practice medicine for 30 years
@MrLobo1776- they need conspiracy theories to win elections now
@psycobleach46 tullis- Fauci did lie to Congress. Let’s see if any indictments come down.
Nope, the Soviets don’t attack their own
Whoa!!! Tell the truth and shame the devil.
@Franklin Tower dummy.
@Robert Mahler Ofcourse they don’t. They are already at peace being the posterboys for the Idiocracy; and they are sooo proud of it.
@Franklin Tower- this is what I expect from MSNBC. They lie to protect democrats. Fools
@fpeletz – no dum dum. He precisely said the video was edited. Watch the entire video. Rand Paul exposed Fauci lying to Congress.
@sfamerken12 – 😆🤣😂 oops!
Time for the Democrats to follow suit and call these republicans what they are. Bipartisanship is dead.
I love how Dr. Fauci is now able to speak his mind. Think about how many lives would have been saved if he could have done that from the start.
Good! call these idiots out! Give FOX a “how disrespectful” sound bite but still you are a liar message.
Exactly. I agree. I lost my sister and brother in the same weekend. They could still be here making my day hearing their voices and seeing their faces instead of living in a memory
Imagine if Dr. Fauci didn’t funnel US taxpayer money to the Wuhan lab for gain of function research. Fauci is literally the reason for the pandemic.
I hate Rand Paul! Fauci funded gain of function research at the Wuhan lab. That doesn’t mean he created this virus! The Wuhan lab deleted their database in 2019. China is a black box! They’ll never prove Fauci helped berth this bioweapon.
Yep. if he’d done it at the start tho, he’d probably have been ‘disappeared’.
As a senator ran paul can lie with impunity, but remember he represents and reflect the character of the voters who elected him.
@Louis Tully reason why people are not getting vaccinated..lol
No one trust the liden biden team..
Facts..
@Louis Tully You missed the part where he stated it is “molecularly impossible”, something which clearly has no meaning to those with little clue about virology and immunology. You cannot use facts, so you resort to false witness, TruPublican.
@Toasty MacNickels Dr. Chi & her team admit they covered up the viral engineering. but sure, keep up your racist belief that it came fron bat soup😂
@Jeremy Saunders A lot more times trump has been c o m p l e t e l y wrong.
@Jeremy Saunders Please present your facts.
To be fair, it’s Rand Paul. He *never* knows what he’s talking about – which doesn’t seem to be any impediment for the voters of his state, who keep putting That oaf in power. That.
Where is he wrong with anything that he said in the hearing?
Hill billy Kentucky keep sending you’re trash to Washington dc
They vote R in Kentucky automatically even though they’re slipping further back every year.
It about time Dr. Fauci fights back with facts and the Rand Paul still yapping
Well done, Dr. Fauci. Rand needs to be put in his place. I’m truly impressed that you have been able to remain civil in the face of this man’s nonsense.
This isn’t the first time he’s had to put Paul in his place. Thank you, Dr. Fauci!
@sfamerken12 no do you’re own research. You can literally copy and paste.
reparations from the Wuhan virus please.
@Covid is a Chinese Biological Attack What proof…? Are you hallucinating?
It is amazing they are still people believes in CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC they edited the entire video just like they did in Trump speech saying “to peacefully protest make your voice heard” if you watch the entire video of Fauci and Dr. Rand Paul you can tell Fauci was lying it was obvious it is sad people who believe what CNN, MSNBC and CNBC will never know.
@Rino Ponce well if we keep on posting truth maybe we can break through to the gullible and save our country 😉
You know you crossed a line when someone as easy going as Fauci raises his voice in anger. I wish some DOJ personal would get their backs up a touch.
@psycobleach46 tullis Indulge me what is “Your truth”. A nd please elaborate, no long drawn hate speeches, just the truth as you see it. Thanks.
@Ragnar Lothbrok if you would be so kind as to guide me to the video you are referring to, I would like to form my own opinion. I am not leaning to any side on this. I will remain neutral until I get all pertinent information. So, if you please?!
@Sun Tzu you need to be more specific
@psycobleach46 tullis Fauci’s involvement with the Wuhan lab. You know, the one that weaponized the virous. Is that specific enough? This is playing cards with my sisters kids….
@Sun Tzu Fauci has NO direct involvement with Wuhan lab. The virus was NOT weaponized again you are posting lies, how about you back up that claim.
The NIH grant that funded the project said it would study “the risk of future coronavirus (CoV) emergence from wildlife using in-depth field investigations across the human-wildlife interface in China.” The grant description included this line: “Test predictions of CoV inter-species transmission. Predictive models of host range (i.e. emergence potential) will be tested experimentally using reverse genetics, pseudovirus and receptor binding assays, and virus infection experiments across a range of cell cultures from different species and humanized mice.”To some experts, that certainly sounds like gain-of-function research, though we should note that, based on what has been disclosed publicly by WIV, none of the virus samples used to conduct these experiments were or could have been transformed to be the new coronavirus that causes the disease covid-19. But Robert Kessler, a spokesman for the nongovernmental organization EcoHealth Alliance that NIH funded, said claims about funding gain-of-function research are based on a misunderstanding of the grant’s role in the research. He said EcoHealth provided WIV $133,000 a year, except for $66,000 in 2020 (when the grant was terminated by the Trump administration), for a total of about $600,000.
“The NIH has not funded gain-of-function work,” Kessler said in email exchanges. “EcoHealth Alliance was funded by the NIH to conduct study of coronavirus diversity in China. From that award, we subcontracted work with the Wuhan Institute of Virology to help with sampling and lab capacity.” He said the citation in the paper was mainly the result of researchers’ desire to cite any possible research that contributed to the findings, with much of the funding coming from the National Natural Science Foundation of China. (Another funder listed was USAID’s Predict program, which helped collect animal viruses and also funded EcoHealth.)
Poor Dr. Fauci. This man has one of the most well respected and significant healthcare professionals in the country for decades and all sudden he has deal with the age conspiracy theory, where the genuinely stupid have every platform possible available to them. He must be so stressed, frustrated and confused. I hope he doesn’t have a breakdown. He’s not a politician. He’s was likely unprepared for medicine to become a political matter.
You mean like how he politicized the Covid crisis? I’m kind of confused with your comment..
@I’m Old Greg he did not politicize it. Trump and company did.
So well said. How did America get like this? Your enemies must be rejoicing
Telling Rand Paul he doesn’t know what he’s talking about is the understatement of the century.
@Ish modz a Ioser
@Aedammair Ornóra wow all those questions that . So sad. I thought it would have had a witter end . Too much to expect from a trumper I suppose
@Ish modz Trump is the famous person if not in the world, then in the USA. He was the president of the USA. But who are you? A worm!
@Aedammair Ornóra does fame make him a good person . A good leader . Im interested in why you support him . What has he done for you and your county . Has he made your life better ?
@Aedammair Ornóra
Private house?
It’s about time,
Everyone should call them LIARS publicly and to their face.
This needs to be repeated every minute until it sinks in to their followers.
@kev c that is because it didn’t happen, how about you back up that claim with some proof of your own, seeing how made the CLAIM first. Like is said chinese news years celebrations were over in Jan. LOL, you have NO idea what gain of function does do you? I can tell by your comment.
@MrLobo1776 i am NOT writing a paper, an essay or anything of the sorts, I don’t need to use perfect grammar. As usual you fall back on crap comments instead of backing up your claims typical of your kind.
@kev c how about you post some FACTS, you know BACK UP your claims, so far all you have is lie.
@Dennis- 😆🤣😂 Fauci lied to congress
followers? i do not follow no one as; politics is not a religion to me, however i do want to know why those funds came from Fauci’s organisation
So, this “Fauci Ouchy,” that they are referring to is their butts hurting.
good one!
“You do not know what you are talking about” is screamed at Rand Paul every moment – by his hair.
When someone with a PhD tells you “you do not know what you’re talking about” they’re probably right.
Paul is one of those “SmartStupid” fools, smart enough to graduate from Duke Medical School, stupid enough to forget all the science he was taught there. He is just taking up space in this world without adding any value to it.
