Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top medical adviser to President Biden, engaged in by-now-familiar recriminations on Thursday, clashing — as they have before — on the origins of the coronavirus.
— about how gain-of-function research could “cause a pandemic even worse the next time,” alluding vaguely to research he claimed involved viruses 15 times more lethal than the coronavirus.“Yes, our civilization could be at risk from one of these viruses,” Paul said. “And here you sit, unwilling to accept any responsibility for the current pandemic,” he added a little later, “and unwilling to take any steps to prevent gain-of-function from possibly unleashing an even more deadly virus.
Unsatisfied, Paul accused him of “defining away” the very idea of gain-of-function research and of trying to “cover your ass, basically.” He urged Fauci to resign, something the four-decade veteran of government service is unlikely to do as a result of political pressure. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, speaks during a Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing on Capitol Hill, Thursday, Nov. 4, 2021, in Washington.
