Dr. Anthony Fauci and Sen. Rand Paul got into another verbal jousting match this month, once again over gain-of-function research, the apparent fact that Fauci’s office greenlighted taxpayer subsidies for research on bat viruses in China, and the possibility that this research led to a lab leak that gave way to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Paul accused Fauci of refusing to admit that the Wuhan research was too dangerous to fund, urging Fauci to resign. But the bat research and alleged U.S. role in the origins of COVID-19 are far from the only scandal facing Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
