The said admission came nearly four years after prompting the publication of the now infamous "Proximal Origin" that attempted to vilify and disprove the lab leak hypothesis. According to Westrup's release, Fauci played semantics with the definition of a "lab leak" in an attempt to cover up the inaccurate conclusions of the said paper. (Related: Fauci conspired with virologists to TRICK world in Wuhan COVER-UP.) Furthermore, the "six-feet-apart" social distancing recommendation promoted by federal health officials "sort of just appeared" and was likely not based on scientific data, as per the transcribed dialogue with the retired government official. The 83-year-old Fauci also admitted that America's vaccine mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic could increase vaccine hesitancy in the future. Previously, he advocated "that when you make it difficult for people in their lives, they lose their ideological bullshit, and they get vaccinated." Some other highlights in the interview included Fauci denying allegations that he visited the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the pandemic or influenced the CIA's investigation into the origins of COVID-19. Also, when American universities approached him, he advised them to impose vaccine mandates on their students. "Dr. Fauci's transcribed interview revealed systemic failures in our public health system and shed light on serious procedural concerns with our public health authority," Westrup concluded. "It is clear that dissenting opinions were often not considered or suppressed completely. Should a future pandemic arise, America's response must be guided by scientific facts and conclusive data." The congressman added the committee was frustrated with Fauci's inability to recall COVID-19 information that is important for the investigation. Nevertheless, he appreciates Fauci's willingness to testify privately and stated that he looks forward to speaking with him further at a public hearing this year. Fauci became a politically polarizing figure during the pandemic. He was vilified by those opposed to lockdowns, masking rules and vaccine mandates while being idolized by those who agreed with the government's actions. Sen. Rand Paul, who has publicly lambasted the former NIAID director, said in an appearance on "The Ingraham Angle" that Fauci has always lied to the public. "The one thing that's consistent about Anthony Fauci is that what he says in private is largely true, what he says in public is largely a lie," he said.?DR.
