Anthony Fauci faces contempt vote over hidden lab leak data
- Internal records reveal federal officials coordinated to bury COVID-19 lab leak evidence.
- Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times during congressional questioning.
- Researchers drafted a natural origin paper in 45 days despite private engineering concerns.
Congressional investigations unveiled private messages confirming top federal health officials deliberately suppressed COVID-19 lab leak evidence.
On the No Agenda Show, hosts detailed how Anthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment rights 111 times before Congress when pressed on discrepancies between his public assertions and private writings. Senator Rand Paul called for a contempt vote after Fauci's private entries acknowledged the virus likely escaped from a Wuhan facility funded by the agency.
Four days later on TFTC: A Bitcoin Podcast, analyst Jessica Rose outlined how researchers rushed the initial natural-origin paper through peer review in 45 days. Internal Slack channels show co-author Christian Andersen privately warned that the virus's furin cleavage site pointed to potential genetic engineering.
"The paper was written to kill a hypothesis."
- Jessica Rose, TFTC: A Bitcoin Podcast
Despite those private warnings, Andersen and his team published their paper declaring a natural origin following a teleconference with Anthony Fauci, Francis Collins, and Bill Gates in February 2020. Rose explained that cementing a natural origin narrative was treated as essential to secure public acceptance for upcoming mRNA shots.
Federal border records further document illicit biological movements prior to and during the pandemic. Customs and Border Protection intercepted undeclared coronavirus samples from China at Detroit Metropolitan Airport in 2018. By 2021, Health and Human Services officials bypassed customs protocols to clear EcoHealth Alliance president Peter Daszak arriving from Doha.
Pressure within federal agencies extended directly to clinical trials. Disclosed emails revealed Fauci told trial directors his foot was on their neck to accelerate Moderna's timeline. Similar regulatory shortcuts continue, as the FDA approved an mRNA flu vaccine using active comparators instead of inert placebos, hiding higher mortality rates.
On No Agenda, host Larry Blydener pointed out that corporate news networks remain financially bound to pharmaceutical advertising, insulating federal officials from direct media scrutiny.
Institutional authority yields when internal records replace public narrative.

#781: The Truth About Fauci with Jessica Rose • Aug 10
- Jessica Rose asserts the Proximal Origin paper was rushed through peer review in 45 days to cement the natural origin narrative. Slack messages reveal co-author Christian Anderson worried the furin cleavage site was a definitive sign of laboratory engineering.
- Bill Gates sent a multi-page memo to Anthony Fauci on April 22, 2020, outlining global vaccination strategies. Other emails reveal Anthony Fauci pressured clinical trial directors by telling them his foot was on their neck to speed up Moderna trials.
- The FDA approved an mRNA flu vaccine on August 5, 2024, despite clinical trial data showing more deaths in the mRNA group than the active comparator group. Jessica Rose calculates the trials hid a 30 times higher death rate by omitting saline placebos.
- US Customs and Border Protection intercepted suspected coronavirus vials arriving from China in Detroit in 2018. The materials were destined for researcher Fang Li at the University of Minnesota, who was funded by National Institutes of Health grants.
- An HHS email from January 11, 2021, reveals EcoHealth Alliance president Peter Daszak bypassed customs inspections when arriving from Doha. High-level security officials overrode agricultural specialists to waive bags containing potential biological materials.

- Marty Bent argues Bitcoin will emerge as the ultimate victor in global finance because central bankers are actively devaluing fiat currencies.
Censorship (1)
- Ian Lipkin was added to the Proximal Origin paper against the other co-authors' wishes, who referred to Lipkin as the butt lesion in Slack messages. Lipkin later defected from the group by publicly questioning the paper's natural-origin conclusions.

- Merriam-Webster altered the official definition of vaccine on January 26, 2021. The updated entry redefined a vaccine as an injection that stimulates an immune response rather than one that provides explicit immunity.
- Drew Wiseman informed Anthony Fauci on February 8, 2021, that mRNA lipid nanoparticles accumulate in the placenta, fetus, uterus, and ovaries. Jessica Rose connects this biodistribution to the rise in female reproductive issues and stillbirths reported since 2021.
- Kevin McKernan discovered that Pfizer and Moderna vials are contaminated with plasmid DNA, including the SV40 promoter. Jessica Rose warns this mammalian promoter is highly oncogenic and may explain shifts in post-vaccination cancer distributions.

1892 - "Kill Switch" • Aug 6
- Rand Paul is calling for a Senate vote to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after Fauci pleaded the Fifth Amendment 111 times. Rand Paul argues Fauci's private diary contradicts his public assertions regarding COVID-19 origins.
- Larry Blytner highlights the tight alliance between pharmaceutical corporations and the deep state. Larry Blytner notes that the United States and New Zealand are the only two nations globally that permit direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising on television.
