Fauci’s Resignation Won’t Stop Investigation Into Him for COVID-19 Origins, Says GOP

Although Anthony Fauci is attempting to flee the sinking COVID-19 ship, that won’t stop Republicans from investigating his ties to the pathogen’s potential (most likely) lab-leak origins and his reprehensible COVID-19 response.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) issued a blistering statement regarding Fauci’s imminent departure, saying the NIAID director will still be asked to testify despite his resignation later this year.

“Fauci’s resignation will not prevent a full-throated investigation into the origins of the pandemic,” Paul commented Monday in response to news Fauci was leaving his position.

“He will be asked to testify under oath regarding any discussions he participated in concerning the lab leak.”

Twitter users commented on investigating Fauci, despite his resignation.

Anthony Fauci’s resignation isn’t enough.

I believe he should be investigated, and quite frankly arrested, for what he put our country through.

Watching Dr. Fauci resign and sail off into the sunset after making millions off the government is a slap in the face.

Millions of Americans suffered as a result of Dr. Fauci's lies and tyrannical agenda. He deserves to be fired and investigated.

Just in time for the midterms, #Fauci announced he’s stepping down in December. I want his pension revoked, I want him investigated and measured for an orange jumpsuit, just in case. #FauciLiedMillionsDied

Sen. Rand Paul has engaged in multiple fiery arguments with Fauci over the NIAID director’s failed COVID-19 policies.

Becker News reported:

Dr. Rand Paul, a Senate nemesis of Dr. Fauci, has done more than harass the NIAID chief during Senate testimony. In July 2021, Sen. Paul announced that he was seeking a criminal referral for Fauci. He also vowed payback for Fauci after the midterm elections for misleading Congress about the SARS-CoV-2 virus’s origins.

“I will be chairman of a committee in the Senate. We will use the subpoena power to bring forth all the records,” he said.

“Right now they send us records. If we ask about their discussions, covering up where the virus came from, its origins in the lab, they white it all out,” he added.

In February, Dr. Paul promised a full investigation of Dr. Anthony Fauci and his activities as the nation’s top Covid doc.

“If we win in November, if I’m chairman of a committee, if I have subpoena power, we’ll go after every one of [Fauci’s] records,” Paul said in an interview with conservative podcast host Lisa Boothe. “We’ll have an investigator go through this piece-by-piece because we don’t need this to happen again.”

In a December interview with his father Ron Paul, a lifelong fighter for liberty in the United States, Rand Paul made his view of Fauci’s mishandling of the Covid pandemic clear.

Fellow Kentucky GOP Rep. James Comer additionally blasted Fauci’s ties with Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance and other suspect entities, saying those relationships will definitely come under close scrutiny.

“We need to know if Dr. Fauci concealed anything from government officials in order to shield the NIH’s cozy relationship with EcoHealth Alliance,” Comer tweeted Monday. “EcoHealth awarded taxpayer funds to the Wuhan lab to conduct risky research on bat coronaviruses.”
