Fauci invokes Fifth Amendment in Senate hearing on COVID

Wednesday, July 29, 2026

Dr. Anthony Fauci on Wednesday during a Senate hearing on COVID-19 invoked his constitutional right not to answer questions. "On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the constitution," Fauci repeatedly said to questions posed by Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Sen. Rand Paul. Paul, a doctor and Kentucky Republican, continued undeterred, continuing to ask Fauci such questions about so-called gain-of-function research, which helps scientists learn about the direction of a pathogen but also brings a high risk of it becoming widespread.

Under the current administration, Fauci has a reason to do so.

Fauci's attorneys probably have more sense than Dr. Sen. Rand Paul's lawyers. Let's not forget Sen. Paul's own history with scientific credibility.

FTA: "First some background: Paul's claim that he is a 'board-certified' ophthalmologist is tied to his certification by the National Board of Ophthalmology. Yet that's a group that Paul himself founded in 1999; he also serves as its head."

Has nothing to do with why Fauci is pleading the 5th. But I do agree that his lawyers are smart in not letting him talk.

Didn't Fauci receive a pre-emptive pardon from Biden?

Since the thread link is a nothingburger joke, here's an actual article on topic:

"Paul has an "unhinged obsession with me," and his motive for the hearing is to "get me to say something " anything " that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, quote, behind bars, unquote," Fauci said.

"Although it pains me to do so ... under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions," Fauci said.

"Paul also ordered Fauci's lawyer removed from the committee room for trying to speak.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said the hearing is part of a "campaign against science" that "has made this country less safe."

"If there are valid scientific questions about the origins of this pandemic ... they should certainly be addressed, but not in a show trial, not as part of a continuing vendetta against a single individual," Blumenthal said."

"This funding sparked a fierce political and legal battle over whether the experiments technically qualified as "gain-of-function".

Senator Rand Paul has aggressively campaigned against former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, accusing him of funding dangerous "supervirus" engineering and trying to cover up a lab leak.

Dr. Fauci has consistently maintained that the NIH-funded research did not meet the strict regulatory definition of dangerous GoF enhancement, making a pandemic strain molecularly impossible to emerge from those specific trials."

Fauci aka "Mr. Science". The nation's "leading expert" in COVID contracted COVID 3 times after being vaccinated and boosted 6 times. He had a pulmonary embolism 6 months after his second Moderna shot. This was, of course, not publicized.

Speaking of lame conspiracy theorists...

"There is no public or medical record showing that Dr. Anthony Fauci suffered a pulmonary embolism, and claims stating otherwise are unsubstantiated rumors.

The unverified claim regarding a pulmonary embolism appears to misinterpret or falsely connect unrelated historical news coverage, such as the federal pause on the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in April 2021 due to extremely rare clotting events

.No credible or official documentation supports the assertion that Dr. Fauci experienced this specific medical event." per CBS news

The nation's "leading expert" in COVID contracted COVID 3 times after being vaccinated and boosted 6 times.

Did he get hospitalized? Did he die on a ventilator?

His job obviously brought him into contact with the disease multiple times and yet the vaccine appears to have worked as advertised for him. It kept him out of the hospital and off a ventilator.

The COVID vaccine is effective at reducing the effects of COVID. It does not prevent you from getting it, it reduces the severity of the infection.

Republicans can lie with impunity while IN Congress but if Dr Fauci had misspoke or gotten a date or time or minor fact wrong when speaking to Congress he would have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law for it.

Put up or shut up.

Please make sure that the "studies" are created by real people in real peer-reviewed journals.

I always appreciate you getting me back in touch with why the sane world hates MAGA.

Ivermectin doesn't do anything to COVID.

Blaming Trump classic misdirection

The best Covid misdirection came from Trump.

It's a Democratic hoax.

It's only 15 cases and we'll soon be down to zero.

It'll disappear in warmer weather.

Ivermectin is a cure!

Hydroxychloroquine is a cure!

Injecting bleach is a cure!

Bright lights is a cure!

Masks won't do anything!

The Woodward interview really sunk him.

This is an incredibly unscientific take.

As a scientist, you don't say something doesn't work if you don't know, you don't call it a dewormer for cows.

Someone here keeps claiming RightWingers are in a cult but the evidence is pointing clearly at the Lumpers.

I don't really know what to think of Fauci overall. There is a lot of negative ---- on him out there.

Serious question-like what?

Everything I've seen is misrepresented or misinterpreted by people who either don't know better or who have a narrative to spin.

What you're not taking into consideration is Covid was a very active discussion on the DR 6 years ago and one one is buying your bullshht.

You should go back to X.com where you can impress Gen Z with your revisionist bullshht.

The only reason why I think Republicans are going after Fauci is they attack " intellectuals. They feel frightened by things that they don't understand and they are lashing out. In other words. Fauci is smarter than they are.

The nation's "leading expert" in COVID contracted COVID 3 times after being vaccinated and boosted 6 times. He had a pulmonary embolism 6 months after his second Moderna shot. This was, of course, not publicized.

Fauci was a major source of the misinformation, but Democrats and their allies helped spread and enforce it.

Social media was pressured to suppress information that did not fit the Democratic narrative. This very site fell directly in line.

Businesses were shuttered unnecessarily. Children were kept out of school far longer than necessary. People who questioned any of it were mocked, censored or accused of endangering others.

The list goes on.

The question is why did Democrats embrace and spread so much misinformation?

Some were undoubtedly frightened and simply believed what they were told. But I believe there may also have been a deeper motive perhaps not always fully conscious.

The shutdowns weakened the economy, increased dependence on government checks and expanded demand for government programs. That outcome fit perfectly with the political philosophy of those who believe government should play a much larger role in people's lives.

Why were so many Democrats determined to keep everything shut down for so long, even as the damage became increasingly obvious?

I am not claiming that every Democrat participated in some coordinated conspiracy. I am asking whether Democratic leaders recognized that the crisis created an opportunity to expand government dependence and then exploited that opportunity, despite the hardship it caused.

Conspiracy theories are not automatically true, but neither are they automatically false.

Read what I am actually saying, and not what you want to believe I am saying.

In early 2020, Fauci recorded in his diary how much he was able to make the stock market drop with his lie that covid was 10x more deadly than the flu.

It wasn't a lie, s*^%bag. It was early data backed with low N results.
