Dr. Anthony Fauci heads the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and Congress is currently reacting to reports that he initially resisted a Trump-era order to cancel an NIH grant to EcoHealth Alliance linked to the Wuhan Institute of Virology [where the coronavirus likely originated] in April 2020.
EcoHealth Alliance is a nonprofit conducting research on coronaviruses and they had previously worked with the Wuhan lab, the place where a number of experts agree the pandemic virus originated from. Fauci later "reluctantly agreed" after learning then-President Trump was directly behind the order, according to an upcoming book by Washington Post reporters Yasmeen Abutaleb and Damian Paletta.

In their book titled, "Nightmare Scenario: Inside the Trump Administration's Response to the Pandemic That Changed History," Abutaleb and Paletta provide a behind-the-scenes account of how Old Doc Fauci and his colleagues at the NIH responded to the White House’s directive.
In June 2020, however, Fauci said the grant, worth a remaining $370,000, was "canceled because the NIH was told to cancel it," and he didn't "know the reason" behind the White House's order during a House Energy and Commerce hearing after Rep. Marc Veasey (D-TX), asked why the Trump administration cut off NIH funding for EcoHealth.
Lawmakers on the House Energy and Commerce Committee are now reacting to the book excerpt in comparison to Fauci's June 2020 comments before Congress and are repeating calls for an investigation into the virus's origins and Fauci's firing. Imagine that--Fauci lied.
Fauci did not immediately respond to inquiries from Fox News nor from Brain Flushings.
"Dr. Fauci is so obsessed with maintaining his own relevance and downplaying President Trump’s role in combatting this crisis that he’s once again been caught lying," Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA), told the outlet. "We need someone leading the pandemic response and our investigation into its origins who is more concerned with the truth than their own PR campaign. It’s time for Dr. Fauci to go."
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), said "there are many unanswered questions that can only be answered with a full investigation by Congress."

The truth is, if Fauci is somehow directly involved in the spread of the COVID-19 virus, he needs to be prosecuted criminally.
"It is perplexing that [House Speaker] Nancy ["Frenetic Hands"] Pelosi refuses to allow any formal investigation into the origins of COVID," he said, adding that "without a real complete and transparent investigation…we have not been able to get the answers the American people deserve," but Congress "will not stop working to get the facts."
Scalise and more than 200 House Republicans have called on Pelosi to direct committee chairs to investigate the origins of the virus and devote congressional investigatory resources to examining claims that the novel coronavirus pandemic stemmed from a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology which the Chinese Communist Party "covered" up.

Yeah, yah think?
Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), said the discrepancies between Fauci's hearing comments and the book excerpt "very concerning," and saying it "goes to show just how important it is to have full investigation into the origins of COVID-19."

"We owe it to the American people to find answers about how the pandemic happened and what Dr. Fauci knew and when he knew it," he said.
Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX), said he became concerned about early reports of COVID-19 when it was being described as a new respiratory virus in December of 2019, and in February of 2020, he "called on Energy and Commerce Committee Democrats to hold hearings to ensure that America was prepared if the virus came to our shores, and that we understood exactly of how this virus originated."
He added, however, that "committee Democrats … lacked the curiosity," for some strange reason.
The NIH’s decision to fund research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology is an ongoing point of contention between Fauci and several Republican lawmakers.
Something smells Fauci.
