Rand Paul(@RandPaul):Great discussion with @stephenasmith on why I still have serious questions for Dr. Fauci. In 2010, before any pandemic existed, Fauci argued in The Washington Post that even a lab leak causing a pandemic would be worth the "knowledge" gained. That is not a pandemic-era mistake. That is a philosophy he held for over a decade and used as justification for funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan starting in 2014.
