Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has announced plans to use his new position as chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to investigate Dr. Anthony Fauci's actions at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Paul aims to delve into the origins of the virus and the involvement of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in funding potentially dangerous viral research in China, specifically focusing on gain-of-function research. He intends to issue subpoenas to gather documents and hold hearings to scrutinize the decisions made by Fauci and other NIH leaders during the early stages of the pandemic.
