Just like the climate debate, the crooks are the ones claiming they are “the science” even as they destroy it.
It’s a sacred shield to fend off questions they don’t want to answer.
Rand Paul claims Fauci is acting like the ‘all-high priest’ of science and it’s ‘dangerous’
The Daily Mail
‘It’s sort of a way of ending all debate because if you attack him or have any debate over any of his edicts or his mandates, you’re attacking science,’ Paul said on Tuesday.
‘But this is a very, very dangerous sort of idea. The idea that a government bureaucrat represents science and that he is now untouchable – that it is sort of like you are now contradicting the all high priest of science, if you say anything.’
Ted Cruz wants to know: did he or didn’t he fund Gain of Function research?
Sen. Ted Cruz brands Fauci ‘the most dangerous bureaucrat in the history of America’
The Daily Mail
[Ted] Cruz told Sean Hannity: ‘I’ve got to say, Dr. Fauci, I think, is the most dangerous bureaucrat in the history of the country. He talked about hurting science but I don’t think anyone has hurt science or hurt the credibility of doctors more than Dr. Fauci because throughout this pandemic, he has been dishonest, he’s been political, he’s been partisan.’
Referring to that interview, Cruz continued: ‘(Fauci) said, I represent science. I am science. I was laughing. It’s like Louis XIV, the sun king in France saying “I am the state.” It is this delusion of grandeur.’
There’s a five year jail term for lying to Congress.
Cruz also highlighted what he claims was a breach of a US law – 18USC, Code 1001 – made by Fauci when he told a Senate hearing in May that the National Institutes of Health, of which he serves as a director, did not fund ‘gain of function’ research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Chinese lab that COVID may have leaked from.
‘You stated that we don’t fund gain-of-function research, the NIH stated that we do fund gain-of-function research. They can’t both be true. And if you lie to Congress, it’s a felony.
This is why we have to win the science debate, not just the economic ones.
