Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director Dr. Anthony Fauci contradicted several of his past statements from the COVID-19 pandemic when he testified before Congress on Monday.
The former top pandemic adviser to two presidential administrations, who retired in 2022 after nearly four decades at the head of NIAID, faced sharp questions about the reversals from Republican members of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.
“Americans were aggressively bullied, shamed, and silenced for merely questioning or debating issues such as social distancing, masks, vaccines, or the origins of COVID,” Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) said in his opening remarks to Fauci, 83.
“You took the position that you presented ‘the science’ and your words came across as final and as infallible in matters pertaining to the pandemic,” the chairman added before he and other Republican panel members recounted those statements.
