Rand Paul Releases Fauci Diaries Showing Fame Focus as COVID-19 Deaths Topped 7 Million
1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 26
Summary
Days before Anthony Fauci’s Senate testimony, Rand Paul published diary entries portraying Fauci as increasingly preoccupied with his celebrity while the pandemic killed more than 7 million people worldwide and about 1.2 million in the United States.
April-to-July 2020 entries show Fauci tracking intense media attention, calling his fame “explosive,” saying Trump was “enamored” of him, and noting an invitation to appear on “Dancing with the Stars” as U.S. cases surged.
The journals also record Fauci’s worsening frustration with the Trump White House, including complaints that officials blocked television appearances and had “dropped out” as the country headed into a July 4 case spike.
Paul, who subpoenaed Fauci and has long accused him of dishonesty over COVID-19 origins and Wuhan gain-of-function research, released the diaries through the Senate Homeland Security Committee as part of an ongoing oversight investigation.
Do Fauci’s newly released pandemic diaries reveal hidden evidence on COVID origins, or mainly expose how crisis messaging broke down behind the scenes?
