Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. believes that Dr. Anthony Fauci asked former President Joe Biden for a preemptive pardon because he knew he could be held liable for his role in gain of function research.
“It was in this country, they started doing it in 1947, the military and the intelligence agencies, in order to develop bioweapons. In 1969, President Nixon banned it all, shut down Fort Detrick, shut down all the labs, and then signed the Bioweapons Convention,” he said when he appeared on Fox News.
“That ban lasted until 2001, and after the anthrax attacks, Anthony Fauci began, essentially, restarted the arms race, and the bioweapons arms race, and did it under the pretension of developing vaccines, because it’s the same science, say you develop bioweapons and vaccines. In 2014, three of his bugs escaped, and 300 scientists wrote letters to President Obama asking him to shut down Anthony Fauci. President Obama declared a moratorium, but instead of shutting down his experiments, he moved them offshore, mainly to the Wuhan lab,” the Health and Human Services Secretary said.
“And now, you know, the principal institutions of our government, the CIA, the FBI, the State Department, Department of Energy, all say that it is most likely that those experiments resulted in the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in 2019. So President Trump today moved to shut down this kind of research in this country, and to stop funding it abroad,” he said to host Laura Ingraham.
“Do you think this is the reason that Anthony Fauci was given a pardon by Joe Biden, and that, in some ways, linked to this gain-of-function funding?” the host wondered.
“Well, you know, I don’t know what was going on in Joe Biden’s head, but I think that Anthony Fauci probably asked for that pardon knowing that he had some liabilities here that were more than reputational. They were legal liabilities,” he said.
