Washington Post Fact-Check Confirms NIH Funded Painful Beagle Experiments in Tunisia
Jun 7, 2024, 04:39 PM
The Washington Post recently published a fact-check on allegations that Dr. Anthony Fauci, as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), approved and funded painful experiments on beagles. The fact-check revealed that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) did indeed fund such research in Tunisia, contradicting earlier denials. Internal communications showed that NIH officials admitted they had no proof to refute these claims. The controversy, dubbed 'BeagleGate,' has been a significant PR issue for Fauci and NIAID. Critics, including @WhiteCoatWaste, have long accused the NIH of attempting to cover up the experiments. Dana Milbank, who previously debunked the story, has faced calls for retraction. The fact-check also highlighted the role of RepMTG in bringing attention to the issue and noted the reliance on statements from experts in previous reports.
