Rand Paul Issues Warning To Anthony Fauci: “When we get in charge, we’re going change the rules and you will have to divulge where you get your royalties from”
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Dr. Anthony Fauci had a heated today during a Senate committee hearing. Paul grilled Fauci about royalties from big pharma before warning Fauci things would be different when the GOP takes charge.
Paul said: “When people decry vaccine hesitancy, it’s coming from the gobbledygook that you give us. You’re not paying attention to the science.
“The very basic science is that previous infection provides a level of immunity. If you ignore that in your studies, if you don’t present that in your committees, you’re not being truthful.”
“I have never, ever denied fundamental immunology. In fact, I wrote the chapter in the Textbook of Medicine on fundamental immunology,” Fauci said.

Paul said:
“We’ve been asking you and you refuse to answer whether anybody on the vaccine committees gets royalties from the pharmaceutical companies.
“I asked you last time and what was your response? ‘We don’t have to tell you.’
“But I’ll tell you this, when we get in charge, we’re going change the rules and you will have to divulge where you get your royalties from, from what companies, and if anybody on the committee has a conflict of interest.
“We’re gonna learn about it.
“I promise you that.”

I'm doing everything I can to hold Fauci accountable. In today’s hearing he tried to give excuses but words don’t lie! https://t.co/iqJzaV3BEM
