Weapon of Truth: Aiding and abetting the crime – 'You fooled Americans, apologize now!"

"Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Dr. Anthony Fauci clashed during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing examining the origins of Covid-19. During the hearing, Paul renewed his longstanding accusations that Fauci misled Congress about Covid-19 research and the origins of the coronavirus. Fauci firmly denied the allegations, maintaining that he has testified truthfully and rejecting claims that he attempted to mislead lawmakers."

"There will be another pandemic. There will be another crisis. And there will again be officials who insist that uncertainty must be hidden for the public's own good. They will demand obedience. They will invoke science. I am the science as though it were a commandment. They will argue that officials cannot be questioned because questioning them would undermine public trust. They have it backwards. It is secrecy that destroys trust. It is arrogance that destroys trust. It is censorship that destroys trust and it is the refusal to admit error that destroys trust. That loss of trust may be your most damaging legacy. Trust can't be ordered. It has to be earned. No scientist is above scrutiny. No government official is beyond accountability."
