CIA whistleblower James Erdman III recently testified before Congress that Dr. Anthony Fauci intentionally influenced the intelligence community's analysis of COVID's origins, leveraging his position to ensure the IC consulted a curated list of conflicted scientists—including authors of the debunked "proximal origins" paper—resulting in a cover-up that wasted resources and failed to properly inform policymakers. Dr. Brian Hooker of Children’s Health Defense joins the show to explain that Erdman’s testimony exposes how Fauci used financial incentives and threats to ruin careers to force scientists to align with the false "natural origins" narrative, while also noting that no Democrats remained in the hearing room to even hear the testimony. Dr. Hooker confirms that Fauci's pardon from Biden extends back to 2014, precisely when Fauci began illegally funding gain-of-function research on SARS-CoV-2 through a CIA cutout called EcoHealth Alliance, after Barack Obama had banned such research. The whistleblower also revealed that several of the same scientists who helped Fauci rewrite the definition of gain-of-function research in 2015 to lift the funding pause participated in "Event 201," a 2019 pandemic tabletop exercise that curiously mirrored the events of the COVID pandemic.
