Anthony Fauci, top adviser on COVID-19 under both Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden, was in the hot seat this week, facing intense criticism from congressional Republicans as well as unending praise from congressional Democrats. Monday's hearing, organized by the House Oversight Committee's Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, functioned as a quintessential example of the extreme polarization that characterizes modern U.S. political discourse; for half the country, Fauci is a villain—for the other half, he is worthy of sainthood. Occupying the former camp, Rep. Marjorie Taylor ...

In a now-infamous 2021 exchange with Sen. Rand Paul (R–Ky.), Anthony Fauci—the former longtime head of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and former chief medical advisor to the president—said that the National Institutes of Health (which oversees NIAID) "has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology." We now know this is not true. A treasure trove of documents uncovered by congressional investigators and dogged investigative journalists has established that the NIAID was funding gain-of-function research on bat...

Fauci responded, implausibly, "None on my part." This strains credulity; many, including those questioning him yesterday, have point...

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is based on an important principle: any document that the public pays for belongs to the public. Whenever a government official writes or records something as part of their taxpayer-funded duties, ordinary citizens have a right to request a copy, with some exemptions for privacy and security. Politicians, of course, hate that kind of accountability. And every so often, they get caught hiding their official correspondence from FOIA requesters. Hillary Clinton's attempts to stash State Department emails on a private server were a major scandal during the 201...

Sen. Ted Cruz(R-Texas) said that the former chief medical adviser to the president, Dr. Anthony Fauci, should face criminal charges for “lying under oath” to Congress about the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic. Cruz made his arguments at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland. “There has been no person who has done more to destroy trust in the scientific and medical community than Dr. Anthony Fauci who told millions of Americans lies willingly, knowingly, glibly, supremely arrogantly,” Cruz said. Cruz’s arguments came just days after the Department of Energy (DOE) con...

He told PBS Newshour on Tuesday that the U.S. is “out of the pandemic phase,” but sought to clarify that those comments don’t mean it’s fully over when talking to The Associated Press Wednesday. “We don’t have 900,000 new infections a day and tens and tens of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands of deaths,” he said. “We are at a low level right now. So if you’re saying, are we out of the pandemic phase in this country? Yes, we a...
