  1. ‘we were never sending money ‘
    ‘yes you were, it was a subgrant ‘
    ‘ok let me explain why we sent them money..’

    1. @Jake Hildebrand because you dont have a claim to dispute, just because you make a statement doesnt make it true to what the world saw what happened. But I dont expect much from a party that believes in nothing but conspiracies.

    2. @Scurra I’m amazed how politics seems to turn off the critical thinking part the brain. Watch it again (better yet, watch the unedited exchange). Dr Fauci admitted to quite a few things:
      1. Fauci admitted the US funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology (though a sub-grant). He only admitted that after denying that the US directly funded it.
      2. Fauci admitted that the US conducted gain of function research (in the US). He only admitted that once he denied that the NIH conducted gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
      3. Fauci admitted the US shared gain of function research with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. He didn’t admit that until pressed by Senator Paul.
      4. Fauci admitted that there is a not insignificant possibility that COVID (which has killed over 4 million people) was created (through the use of gain of function research) in the Wuhan Institute of Virology and released.

    3. @Gee Lee lol I love how you just go straight to insults instead of explaining how it’s cherry picked and then you try to throw the “you’re dumb” argument without even giving one ounce of a fact. Truly interesting

    4. @Jake Hildebrand “…gain of function research.” Dr. Fauci does not say the NIH never provided a grant to the Wuhan Lab, he is saying they never provided money for the specific type of research Rand Paul is alleging. By not providing the entire quote, you are cherry picking to try to push your narrative.

    1. @Jamtommy sad to see fauci is disrespected in his own country. You have no idea of this man’s works. Medical students from all over the world follows him and you say he’s a fraud. Sad.

    2. @Mohammed Afshin Going to med school is irrelevant when speaking in argument. It aids in your knowledge, but it by no means is the final say

    3. @Carol Skillen What is yours?

      The fact is, Fauci has backpedaled multiple times. And a matter of the Wuhan Lab is unrelated to immunology and directly related to shady business dealings. Which a politician should know quite well so guess who has the expertise here 😉

      Either way mate, Fauci fudged up

  2. This video is so out of context it’s mind blowing. Show the whole thing instead of putting little clips together to make it look entirely differently

    1. It’s cnn. If it wasn’t for cnn then the far left sheep wouldn’t believe in the conspiracy theories about the QAnon conspiracy theories

    2. It’s called propaganda brainwashing and they even admit it but you can’t tell the CNN viewers cause they are too far gone.

    3. @Johnathan Leonardo Why are you discussing Fox? This is a video from CNN that was edited to change meaning and promote their political agenda. And you, instead of having the fortitude to stand up to these liars, deflect in order to defend them. Grow a spine and demand integrity from the media. Otherwise, you are just as pathetic as they are.

    1. @D E Who talks like that? Straighten out that fedora and get back to your D&D session before your mommy decides you don’t need any more chochie milk tonight.

    2. If it was a decent republicans asking questions we would take it more seriously but this conspiracy clown who promoted the big lie no. It’s a shame because some of his suspicions may turn out accurate

    3. Big Mike:. The editing has nothing to do with the end result. You can go watch the whole thing unedited and you still won’t understand it any better because we don’t know who is telling the truth. The reporter Josh on this story said that if the NIH has the information it should release it.

    4. @Tor Guy Everything… hasnt your 6th grade teacher ever told you _almost_ never to make arguments in absolutes

  3. They’ll kill this josh guy for expressing any nuance at all. Did you see the Karen? She was like this is not the script this is not the script

    1. There an old episode of Stargate SG-1 called the Aschen vaccine where a hostile alien race uses a vaccine as a front to cause mass sterility. Coincidence?

    1. If that’s what you believe is going on here, then you shouldn’t have any complaints. Aren’t you used to believing whatever you’re told? Don’t lie now. Do not lie.

    2. There an old episode of Stargate SG-1 called the Aschen vaccine where a hostile alien race uses a vaccine as a front to cause mass sterility. Coincidence?

    3. it was an accident at worst it could not be an intentional power grab. dont you dare insult saint fauci by attributing to him any type of ill motive.

  4. Thankfully I watched this unedited…..makes a difference! Can’t believe the hatchet job CNN did on the editing.

    1. @steve jette My 2 cents (watch it for yourself to make up your own mind): Dr Fauci was not transparent, equivocating that the NIH (specifically) did not fund (directly) gain of function research (which he narrowly defined) at Wuhan Institute of Virology (specifically). When Sen Paul pressed Dr Fauci:
      – Dr Fauci admitted the NIH funded gain of function research (in the US).
      – Dr Fauci admitted that he knew gain of function research was shared with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
      – Dr Fauci admitted supporting the Wuhan Institute of Virology through a sub-grant from the EcoHealth Alliance (not directly from the NIH).
      – Dr Fauci admitted that there is a not insignificant possibility that COVID was created and released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

      So, bottom line: there is a possibility that NIH funded research from the US was used to create COVID-19 at the Wuhan Institute of Virology where it was, in turn, released. To further complicate Dr Fauci’s life, his gain of function research was stopped under the Obama administration and restarted under the Trump administration through a loophole that stated “an exception from the research pause may be obtained if the head of the U.S. government funding agency determines that the research is urgently necessary to protect the public health or national security.'” Dr Fauci signed off of the exception to restart the banned gain of function research.

      Obviously, not a simple issue of a personality clash between Sen Rand Paul and Dr Fauci as CNN would like to spin this.

  5. Show the whole thing instead of putting little clips together to make it look entirely differently

    1. @steve jette This guy again, you’re just either too lazy or too f*cking clueless to find it yourself. Or maybe you’re a news outlet sheep?

    2. There an old episode of Stargate SG-1 called the Aschen vaccine where a hostile alien race uses a vaccine as a front to cause mass sterility. 👽

  6. YOU CAN WATCH THE FULL VIDEO ON C-SPAN. ALL THE VIDEO CLIPS THAT THESE NETWORKS USE, COME FROM THE FULL VIDEOS THAT ARE PUBLIC FOR US ALL TO VIEW, C-SPAN.

    1. who is they? what makes you think ‘they’ know? People in power, people in the govt are just as clueless as anyone else. It’s mostly just theater.

  7. Dr Fauci’s name and NIH literally appear in the published journal of the Chinese scientist in Wuhan. Crediting Fauci for funding the research.
    He is credited in the footnotes by her.
    Rand Paul caught him in several untruths…. that should be noted

    1. Oh no a disease expert said we should fund the research into diseases what a crazy concept next Paul is going to tell us what letter comes after A in the alphabet

  8. Ok now that half the people commenting woke up can we continue this trend for all CNN videos coming forward. If they did this good of editing on this video trust me they’ve done the same to the rest
