Dr. Anthony Fauci is set to testify before Congress, facing scrutiny over his role in the origins of COVID-19 and related research. Recently released transcripts reveal Fauci's controversial statements, including his admission of not being familiar with certain scientific research and his denial of involvement in NIH grants for the Wuhan lab. Fauci also acknowledged Jeremy Farrar's significant role in the Proximal Origin$ paper, which discusses the origins of COVID-19. Critics, including Senator Rand Paul, accuse Fauci of lying under oath and covering up information about gain-of-function research funded by the NIH. Fauci admitted to learning about the DEFUSE proposal from the press and confessed that the six feet social distancing rule 'sort of just appeared.' The upcoming hearing is expected to address these allegations and Fauci's handling of COVID-19 guidelines, which he admitted were not always based on scientific data.
