Dr. Anthony Fauci will loom large over a House Oversight hearing Wednesday on the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, despite not actually attending.
The former longtime head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is under fire after reports emerged that he prompted the drafting of a scientific study dismissing the lab-leak theory at the height of the coronavirus pandemic.“Dr. Fauci lied about tax dollars funding research in Wuhan, repeatedly denied the lab-leak theory,” said Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, New York Republican. “Now we know he commissioned a paper to disprove it and push his narrative.
The paper came only days after he and other public health officials were warned the virus could have been genetically manipulated before emerging from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. At the time, Dr. Fauci did not disclose that he was involved in the commissioning of the paper. The new evidence and the timeline will be a focal point of the Oversight subcommittee’s hearing.
While GOP lawmakers have promised to subpoena or compel him to testify, that has yet to happen. The delay, in part, comes because of the competing jurisdictions between various House Committees.
