No matter how much the far-right gets to yell at Fauci, they’ll never be satisfied.
This week, the former head of the U.S. pandemic response testified before Congress’ Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. The committee originally was launched by House Democrats to investigate former President Donald Trump‘s administration’s response to COVID-19. Now helmed by Republicans, it is looking into … former President Donald Trump’s administration’s response to COVID-19.
While Dr. Anthony Fauci was technically under Trump’s employ throughout the pandemic, he nevertheless became a right-wing boogeyman for his stances on masks, social distancing, vaccines, and the virus’ origin. And yesterday, Republicans were ready to take him to task.
The hearing went viral for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) refusal to refer to him as a doctor. His written testimony also revealed fascinating information, including the fact that the CDC didn’t have any science to back up its social distancing claims.
But while Fauci was dragged for masking in schools, pushing for a vaccine, and undermining Trump (who had the ability to fire him every single day of the pandemic), some extremely far-right wingers felt Republicans on the panel dodged the biggest issue.
The concern stems from a long-standing conspiratorial obsession that the U.S. (and, by proxy, Fauci) funded clandestine mobile biological weapons labs in Ukraine.
“Russian Military claim one of the main reasons they moved into Ukraine was because of US bioweapon development … We are in a proxy war with Russia, and on the verge of WW3, over these labs, and NOBODY brought it up?” Bioclandestine remarked on his Substack, saying Congress was “looking in the wrong direction.”
The post goes on to tie both Jeffery Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell and Hunter Biden to COVID-19, but the gist is that the U.S. is skirting international treaties by making biological weapons of mass destruction in Ukraine. And testing novel coronaviruses like the one that kicked off the pandemic.
Russia also accused the U.S. of running the labs, however, little proof has been offered.
But BioClandestine’s righteous furor that Fauci was let off the hook for starting World War 3 sparked anger online.
“No one asked Fauci about the bio labs. Oddly, @congressdotgov didn’t ask ANY questions about the Biolabs created in Ukraine & WuHan, to evade the US Laws…” wrote one.
“These committees are looking in the wrong spot…Is nobody going to ask Fauci about the biolabs in Ukraine?” asked a Gab poster.
“DO BETTER REPUBLICANS!” hollered a third.
Which just goes to show that no matter how much the far-right gets to yell at Fauci, they’ll never be satisfied.
These same biolabs were in Ukraine during Trump’s presidency, but they only become important after a huge propaganda push by russia, after they invaded Ukraine in 2022. Of course the usual suspects, motormouth Marge and her pro russian bottom feeders, believe everything coming out of mafia land, despite not one shred of evidence being put forward regarding bio weapons.
