  1. 37:15 If research on gain of function is not done out in the open, will that prevent it from happening in the private sectors (or in some cave with bats somewhere in a mountain or underground? It is funny how so many pathogens come from bats that are not in contact with humans a lot, BTW. If they had not done research on transmissibility, would they know about the importance of the furin cleavage site, even? Would no one know about it? If people wanted to release a virus or wanted to mitigate the risk of being found out about when doing research with viruses, with lower risk viruses used in stock having less strict precautions than the bioweapon they were making, would they choose a place near a virology research center that everyone knows about, or would they take the risk of a spread starting somewhere else that could lead researchers to them? Would there be no motive to releasing a coronavirus in the vicinity of gain of function research if that research was poised to explore methods that could allow a vaccine to be made against their virus or that would allow it to be easier to identify an engineered virus? It's like the argument with guns, right? I still think that they gleam what we gleam from our research though, and it would be nice if scientists were not under so much pressure with limited funding, but the wicked have no interest in that.

  2. 1:09:44 (also see 2:31:01) Why can't we see an unredacted report? Some media sounds like it has given credence to the lab leak theory and as if intelligence agencies accepted the lab leak, but where actually has that been stated? In what I read, they didn't admit it at all, but they mentioned China blaming the west or imported frozen food (meaning then that China might have believed that it was a lab leak from elsewhere). In this hearing, from what I gathered about a virus as early as December 2019 or earlier in Wuhan. Did Fauci believed that the Wuhan Market was the amplifier? That was still only 8 or 9 miles from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, so is what Dr. Anthony Fauci was writing in his journal (if taken literally) suggesting something that still gives credence to a lab leak as more likely, anyway because of how close it was to that place, or is he just pointing out that these two things are coincidental and saying it like a narrative that he is hearing? Would a crazy person release it from the lab anticipating people wanting to abuse it (weaponize it), but it was a strain that they found in humans already? Has anyone else looked for L*GG in all 3 translation frames of Wuhan-HU-1 positive RNA strand? That is Luecine-(any amino acid [not just lysine/arginin/aspargine used for nsp3 cleavage sites in the polyprotein])-Glycine-Glycine (LXGG). Do you only find 5 occurrences in total in all ~30,000 amino acid positions (~10,000 x all 3 translation frames)? Three of them are the sites known to be cleaved by nsp3. A 4th position is in exon nsp1 but out of frame (genomic frame 0 instead of genomic frame 1). Then there is the 5th case that is also out of frame with translation in genomic frame 2 instead of genomic frame 1, BUT in the spike protein overlapping the furin cleavage site as LLGG overlapping "SPRRARS". I looked to see whether there might be other nsp3 cleavage sites for the heck of it, before knowing that X was suppose to equal R/K/N but it just really seems like another weird thing about this segment of the entire genome of Wuhan HU-1. Was it or could it function as an nsp3 cleavage site out of frame? Does it provide clues to its evolution or what? Despite have cggcgg in it, does that make it more or less plausible that it came from a coronavirus instead of a lab? Does Fauci sound in his journal like he didn't think that it was plausibly from a lab then after listening to (1:10:28 to 1:10:40 and to 1:10:59), and he wrote it in an electronic journal there at work? Listening to 1:11:55 to 1:12:13, and so doesn't this mean something then? Can we see the non-redacted document? Notice that when we hear this now, it might be perceived as political, just like Trump silencing the CDC in 2025 (making communications conditional) before a report or before some news outlets suggested that the lab leak hypothesis was accepted by the intelligence community. Is this how things are broken to people? Making sure that it looks political when they might be telling us something, like some partisan swing between personalities with one or the other being plausibly delusional or what? Can we know the facts? Who is really in control? Who learns from research in institutions from work done in labs but under scientists with pressures to publish for their institution and with students who want to graduate in academia? How smart do people have to be to read publications and know what to believe? What if all lab research were filmed and uploaded in real time if it is being paid for by our taxes? Is that feasible though with interdisciplinary work that might overlap with funding from private sources?

  3. 2:36:36 It really would be nice to know what happened. It is interesting to me that a nurse told me a year earlier that they wouldn't be surprised if a 2nd SARS-CoV epidemic or pandemic happened and that it was probably fake and something else like it might be a way to alleviate healthcare or something, but, regardless of what is the case, it is interesting to consider the ethics of having scapegoat cover virus if that happens, if another pathogen is contained that has bioterrorism or bioweapon potential if we do not get immune to that strain 1st. What country would we be hiding it from though, and is that really plausible since countries all over the world can sequence it, right, but I still remember the expressions and general feeling that graduate students might not believe what they were saying about sequencing technology at an academic institution, and also the weird graduate school interviews that seemed like they might be selecting for people who are not literally listening to what they were told, but, regardless, I bet that it might have been a tough position to be in to decide whether herd immunity and selection for virus variants that are not as bad and it becoming endemic was better than closing everything down. There is a lot that we don't know probably, but it should matter a lot to people that research is transparent with more funding and more disciplined educated and passionate American people who are whistleblowers displacing people who are chicken (and might not even be from our country who can go home to their own countries [which has been the case for a long time] but with government funding from tax dollars) and do what is expected of them rather than what the rules tell them to do. More people need to be into science, and more of the humanities/etc. need to be displaced by real technical education. How much waste isn't there in university curriculi? Entertainment needs to go away and people need to wake up to how disadvantaged the populous is against technological innovations that we never learn about because all of our future possible solutions to problems that have not happened yet are being evaluated before consumer demand or other events or controversies curb evolution of research and innovations.

  4. I didn't get that kill injure jab! It didn't set right with me after hearing Fauci say in 2017 that there would be a pandemic break out during President Trumps Presidency 🙄 Hmm
    I thought to myself how does he know that 🤔 However it was not about Covid 19 at all! It was about that vaccine the whole time!! Mr. I plead the 4th hould be arrested immediately!!
    MUDERER!! Most everyone knows it!!! angry 😠 😡 EVIL 😈

  5. But I guess we can't expect much better behavior for the country that has a leader that's best friends with the most evil man in the world Mr Benjamin Netanyahu God damn man is being charged and known for committing more war crimes that are most heinous than anybody else in world history he's nothing more than a new Hitler

  6. And I definitely hope Canada decides to stop sharing water with you because we're going to need it we're not giving it to you for your fucking data centers and if you want it back I think we should charge you triple for all the tariffs you've been fucking ass with sound about Fair? If you're so fucking good on your own then leave Canadian stop needing Canadian resources they're not for you and you're not paying anywhere is near what it's worth anyway we should be charging you more you want to keep hitting us with tariffs I think we should double the cost of everything you get from us that sounds like us being Pricks right back doesn't it I damn well hope you fucking charge you more than that just for being assholes thinking you have the right to punish the world with you fucking tariffs just another bunch of greedy Pricks on this planet that want every fucking dollar for themselves are you getting to hit the whole fucking world is done with you by now why do we want to be associated with a fucking country that they decided to blame 9/11 on everybody else when you were to blame and killed over 2000 year old people you definitely don't see that happening over in Canada we care about our people at least you guys are willing to drop them like flies for 50 cents on the dollar

  7. And I definitely hope Canada decides to stop sharing water with you because we're going to need it we're not giving it to you for your fucking data centers and if you want it back I think we should charge you triple for all the tariffs you've been fucking ass with sound about Fair? If you're so fucking good on your own then leave Canadian stop needing Canadian resources they're not for you and you're not paying anywhere is near what it's worth anyway we should be charging you more you want to keep hitting us with tariffs I think we should double the cost of everything you get from us that sounds like us being Pricks right back doesn't it I damn well hope you fucking charge you more than that just for being assholes thinking you have the right to punish the world with you fucking tariffs just another bunch of greedy Pricks on this planet that want every fucking dollar for themselves are you getting to hit the whole fucking world is done with you by now why do we want to be associated with a fucking country that they decided to blame 9/11 on everybody else when you were to blame and killed over 2000 year old people you definitely don't see that happening over in Canada we care about our people at least you guys are willing to drop them like flies for 50 cents on the dollar

  8. I've never seen a country acts so fucking entitled like a child. You're worse than the last two new generations that have come out in just about as smart too you think they're entitled you guys are the most entitled white people on the planet and you can't stop bragging about it like you think he's a shit well we definitely agree you're the shit because there's definitely a smell over here code for the fact that the entire fucking world not just you

  9. Oh and let me guess I'm sure by the end of this interview you're probably going to insist that the United States is the only one that deserves to be compensated for this too because I guarantee you're going for money and you're going to keep it all for yourself like the rest of the world don't matter even matter but that's okay we're used to our neighbors next door Being Greedy fucking pricks good old divided States of America people that can't think of anything but themselves. Real good examples of the fucking Globe you are you are not the power of the globe and you are not considered the smartest people by far because something tells me opinions vary vastly around the world right about now I almost want to invite those illegal Muslims into Canada rather than have you guys next door

  10. What is shity fucking interview you can't get over insisting that it only matters the American fucking people cuz you just keep saying it all through the whole interview like the rest of the fucking world don't matter. No wonder you're starting to discuss Canada and the rest of the world. Nothing but a bunch of bragging perks with nothing to show for it except poor leadership and conceit have to fucking bullshit in the world is your goddamn fault anyway

  11. Man do we ever get so fucking sick of the goddamn American public thinking that they're the only fucking people that matter why when you talk about this do you specify that only the American people deserve a goddamn apology or explanation for what happened the whole fucking world deserves an apology stop acting like you guys are at the Forefront of everything on this planet because you guys might have been the shit 20 years ago but now that you guys have had what three or four of your past leaders have been fucking pedophiles leading the country and you still want to act like you're the only people on the planet that matter I'm pretty sure the whole fucking world right now is pretty tired of you guys acting like you're the shit and you're the only one that matters the whole fucking world deserves an apology and an explanation on this stop acting like you were the only ones fucked over but you can see the Pricks the whole fucking world's mad stop acting like a marriage is so great when you got a fucking child sex trafficker for a fucking leader and a fucking movie and music industry that's so fucked up in Satan that Satan gets a hard on and blushes every time he hears the word America cuz you guys are seemingly his biggest promoters and source of his fan base you guys can't get enough of Satan and his worship. Stop acting like you're everything stop acting like you're the only one that matters because your old best friend is next door because you guys seem to think you can charge tariffs and punish everybody because you feel like it but if they try to get you back you fucked them even worse so if I were you you do good to remember that Canada supplies about 40% of your electrical supply for the east coast of your country maybe we'll just triple the cost of that or we'll just fucking take it back so you can't have it at all cuz you seem to think you're the shit in Canada is nothing you better keep in mind that we're practically your enemies now and we're still being civil letting you have those resources something tells me you don't fucking deserve him when we should take him back and I'm pretty sure we're going to be taking it back because we're not going to give you guys any more water to find your fucking data centers that need a million gallons a day because Canada's got its own problem now with data centers cuz now we have a bunch too and then 3 to 5 years we're all facing drinking water shortage and it's going to be a crisis and a half is that why you guys are all the sudden promoting to save the glaciers now. Why don't you just stop building all the fucking data centers instead cuz nobody wants to fucking things anyway. You'd be surprised how many people in Canada are walking away from digital technology altogether and going back to a basic analog life because we're getting a little sick of all your technological advancements to keep fucking this world into a little hole thinking you're making things better when every time you advanced technology more you're fucking tripling the trouble and you don't even care that all you're doing is extinct in the human race a lot sooner than we should be and you still think you're the shit you better think again you're not the only country that matters and you're not the only one that deserves an apology so why don't you stop thinking you're the big man and start acting like the entire world deserves an apology and the United States is not the only country that fucking matters or exists enough people hate you already so stop acting more and more conceited every time we see you like you think you're the only one that matters we're sick of it and get rid of your pedophile leader actually all four of them that you had lately should be killed. Pedophile for a fucking leader and you guys still think you're better than everyone yeah at operating a sex trafficking ring

  12. dr Mengele was a "doctor" as Fauci claims to be. In actuality Fauci is "Dr. Death" as he brought the death to who knows how many while enriching himself. see this: "The last name Fauci is a southern Italian and Sicilian occupational surname. It comes from the Sicilian word fauci, which means "sickle". Historically, the name was given to a person who made sickles or worked as a farmer using a sickle. In standard Italian, the word fauci can also mean "jaws" or "throat""

  13. Sick & tired the serial killer Anthony Fauci invoking Fifth Amendment right!! Handcuff & lock him up send to GITMO for the rest of his life!! Thank you Senator Josh Hawley, Bernie Moreno, Rand Paul🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 . So sick & tired listen to Anthony Fauci keep saying he hold the 5 Ammendment!! American did not want him to appology because so many American people died!! Anthony Fauci getting rich from lot of people died!! He is an evil needs treason please!! In 2015 Anthony Fauci & Barrack Hussein Obama went to China Wuhan City funding Chinese people make Wuhan Virus spread all over the world killed a lot of peoples!! Dr Anthony Fauci he is serial killer!! Fauci he is an evil needs treason please!! We don't need Anthony only apology!! We want him in jail for the rest of his life!! Dr Anthony Fauci he is serial killer!! Arrest Dr Anthony Fauci please! Next people should be Bill Gate!!

  14. Fauci not only made money during Covid, but he helped create the Pandemic intentional or not. He profited personally off of Asian investments and USA grants money, which may have been given to him in return for leaking the USA Army biological weapon. And he approved funding usa tax dollars over 1 million to Wuhan China govt. Lab. And he tried to hide that from usa public medical information systems. That is Treason. Its like giving away our military secrets to a Communist Military hostile takeover Chinese govt. that kills its own citizens if they disagree. And potentially Americans if they resist in the future. They supplied AK47s to N. Korea and N. Vietnam during both wars, mfg. The AK47 which killed more American troops than any other gun in history. Then they paid off Faucimfor the Covid Formula, a previous US Army Military doctor and chief medical officer of USA. ….lol….😮

  15. Imagine being so terrified of telling the truth, that you won’t even admit to the color of your tie. Your denial to speak is speaking in volumes to the American people Fauci. He is a malignant tumor on the ballsack of America. Find him in contempt. The fifth amendment protects you from incriminating yourself, Fauci has been pardoned, he quite literally CANT incriminate himself.

  16. This hearing changes my mind on the lockdown. We should have stayed open so that we could maximize the number of old people and antimaskers/antivaxxers dying. Clean them out.

  17. Everything is scripted and the people are just being distracted by these plays… nothing will be done… only more theatrical plays that ends with more distractions from the propaganda machine.

    They don't address the issue with the food shortages, only chemicals and gmo products are rampant, creating more sickness and deaths that could be reduced.

    Your politicians aren't there to help you, they are there to make money and deals so they can live a more comfortable life.

    If they did care, they wouldn't allow this farce.

    "Ignorance is bliss…" they say, as it is conditioned to play automatically.

  18. I NEVER TRUSTED FAUCI & THE REST OF THE LIARS, I THANK GOD NOR ME OR MY FAMILY TOOK ANY OF THESE VACCINES. I NEVER GOT COVID AND OUTTA MY KIDS AND IMMEDIATE FAMILY THAT DID NOT TAKE THESE VACCINES ONLY 2 OF MY SONS HAD MILD COVID LIKE THE FLU THAT GOES AROUND EVERY YEAR. THIS MAN AND THE ARMY BEHIND HIM KARMA WONT BE GOOD, I GAVE UP MY CAREER AT THE TIME BECAUSE NO ONE ON THIS EARTH WOULD TELL ME OR MY FAMILY IF WE DID NOT TAKE THESE JABS WE COULD NOT WORK. GOD IS A GOOD GOD MY DAD HAD A STROKE A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE LOCK DOWN AND THEY HARRASED ME ASKING TO GIVE HIM THE VACCINES AND I TOLD THEM HELL NO & MY DAD LIVED FOR A LIL OVER 3 YEARS AND THEN PASSED BUT NEVER ONCE CAUGHT COVID WHILE HE WAS AT A PRIVATE SUBACUTE. FAUCI YOU NEEED TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF, YOU AND THAT ARMY THAT WAS BEHIND U ARE DISGUSTING. TRUST ME GOD HAS THE LONG WORD AND BECAUSE OF U ALL SO MANY PEOPLE RAN TO TAKE THESE JABS BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED ALL THE LIES YOU WOULD TELL. I NEVER ONCE TRUSTED U NOR THE REST OF YALL, AND NEVER EVER WILL. I WOULD SAY SOMETHING ELSE TO YOU BUT I WILL BE NICE..

  19. Someone suggests that someone crazy might have released the virus from a lab, but actually, were they crazy? If this was just a control or to rebuild something else or test some kind of method, so that they could develop a bioweapon much worse, maybe they were just really smart.

  20. If everyone had just refused to go along with it, like some of us did (even though we were ejected from our families and society at large) none of this would ever have happened. When people think that the government, the pharmaceutical industrial complex and the media care about their wellbeing more than their own family members do we run into serious trouble. Because that is just downright weird and delusional. I seem to remember Trump being very zealous about his operation Warpspeed to get everyone vaxxed. Why isnt he on trial?

  21. You supported this doctor with the vaccines you took? Why do you go against him now? Want the cake and eat it, too? There was a time you could say NO to this doctor and his vaccines. Now is not the time anymore.

  22. Speaking as someone viewing this from the outside, it would appear that the Democrats need reminding that they tried to convict Trump of Russia collusion incessantly for the best part of a decade.

    There appears to be far more substance to this accusation, which has been going for a fraction of the time, than the unrelenting and groundless pursuit of the President.

  23. These Democrat senators are absolutely soulless and deplorable. They know the truth and they just don't care. They look at the American people as a roadblock to their power agenda.
