US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard Declassifies Records On Fauci’s Role In COVID Origins Debate

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Thursday declassified hundreds of pages of records related to the origins of COVID-19, releasing documents that she says reveal how federal officials and outside scientists shaped the government’s understanding of the pandemic.

The documents focus heavily on the debate over whether COVID-19 emerged naturally or leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

Gabbard said the records expose years of censorship, secrecy and efforts to suppress competing theories about the virus’s origins.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused tremendous hardship and pain for millions of our fellow Americans and for countless people around the world,” Gabbard said in a statement.

After years of lies, censorship, and cover ups, the American people deserve transparency, truth, and accountability,” she added.

According to Gabbard, investigators reviewed documents and interviewed whistleblowers who claimed they faced retaliation for challenging conclusions favored by senior public health and intelligence officials.

Much of the newly released material centers on former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci and his interactions with intelligence agencies during government reviews of COVID-19’s origins.

The records show Fauci repeatedly directed intelligence officials to scientists associated with the influential March 2020 paper “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2.”

That paper argued a laboratory origin was unlikely and became one of the most influential scientific publications of the pandemic.

Documents previously obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests showed some authors privately discussed the possibility of a lab leak while publicly supporting a natural-origin explanation.

The newly declassified records indicate Fauci encouraged intelligence officials to consult several of those same scientists during a 90-day origins review ordered by former President Joe Biden.

In June 2021, Fauci recommended that intelligence officials speak with Scripps Research virologist Kristian Andersen, the lead author of the paper.

Other records suggest Fauci also pointed officials toward work conducted by Tulane University virologist Robert Garry, another co-author.

The documents further show Fauci received intelligence briefings during the review process.

Gabbard argued that Fauci’s involvement created a potential conflict of interest because his agency had funded coronavirus research that involved collaborations with researchers connected to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The records also reveal significant disagreements within the intelligence community.

Scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s Z Division concluded in May 2020 that the Wuhan lab possessed all the necessary conditions for an accidental release of a modified coronavirus.

We assess that all the necessary conditions for an accidental release of a laboratory-modified coronavirus were present at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in mid-to-late 2019,” the report stated.

The analysts based their findings on scientific literature as well as classified intelligence information.

However, other intelligence agencies disagreed with aspects of that assessment, particularly regarding whether a precursor virus existed at the Wuhan facility.

The documents suggest officials at the National Intelligence Council and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence often relied on outside academic experts rather than biological weapons specialists from agencies such as the FBI and the National Center for Medical Intelligence.

The records also reveal that University of North Carolina virologist Ralph Baric, who worked with Wuhan researchers on coronavirus projects, advised intelligence officials multiple times during the pandemic.

Baric served on the Biological Science Expert Group, which provides scientific expertise to intelligence agencies.

Another section of the records references intelligence reports involving researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology who reportedly became ill during the fall of 2019.

While the underlying intelligence remains classified, the references appear consistent with earlier reports that several Wuhan researchers experienced symptoms before the outbreak became public.

The documents also include records related to a 2021 whistleblower complaint alleging Fauci misled Congress regarding whether federally funded research at the Wuhan lab qualified as gain-of-function research, The Daily Caller reported.

If true, these reports are incredible, but sadly not surprising. The bigger ‘issue’ for me, would be the direct impact Covid had on the world, the countless lives lost, the misrepresentation of death figures, and outright lies and monetisation of what was a serious event

I had Covid in the early period and it hit me for six for months! It was passed on through a direction from my employers, I then had Long Covid, and it affected my life for several years afterwards; so I know it existed (unlike some who still say it didn’t)

My point is that if this report is true, then those who were involved will have participated in the deaths and serious debilitation of millions of people across the UK and the world, and then misled us over the facts

With respect to some who said dos from the start, it seems the truth about the vaccines is far from without ‘issues’, too! :cry:

It will anll out and everyone involved should be made to answer for their actions! :evil:

I remember the Chinese doctor/scientist very early on warning people of a possible outbreak, he was either very ill with a big dose of covid or he was removed and assumed to be dead of the disease ,but he was so healthy and a young doctor,? I would conclude he was killed to get rid as soon as, and was shut up quickly by the authorities.

So if any poster has got time to go back on what a minority of posters were saying, AT THE TIME, and are now proven to be correct, will the posters who spouted "conspiracy theorists" (as they always do when they have lost the argument) now going to apologise and retract their Govt. propagandist bullshit? Just asking like! :bluebird:

This is absolutely true/verified/verifiable.
The files are official documents and confirm the deceit and lies that surrounded the Covid stuff.

' Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Anthony Fauci, as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV)—work which is now widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic.

Today, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in the Intelligence Community (IC) to suppress the truth about his actions, the virus’ lab-leak origins, and his role in directing U.S. funding for this dangerous research that caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives. These documents expose Fauci’s direct role in influencing and manipulating IC assessments on COVID-19, and how Fauci lied to Congress in 2024, when under oath he denied knowledge of or participation in discussions with intelligence officials about viral research.

Fauci Lied to Congress

The correspondence released today directly contradicts Fauci’s 2024 testimony to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. In that hearing, while under oath, Fauci was repeatedly asked whether he spoke to “FBI, CIA, DIA or any U.S. intelligence agency concerning viral research” before, during, or after the pandemic. Fauci repeatedly dodged the questions, before falsely stating, “not to my knowledge about COVID.”

Retaliation Against Truth-Seekers

Testimony from multiple whistleblowers reveals intelligence analysts who challenged Fauci’s COVID-origin conclusions faced threat of retaliation, were marginalized, and often suffered career setbacks. This silenced dissent and fostered a culture where truth was sacrificed to conformity and credible evidence was buried.'

(It's actually worse than this).

Tulsi Gabbard also released files confirming the US sponsored bio (warfare) labs in Ukraine of which there is a goodly number.

Believe the Government and 'trust the experts' - like feck.

Remind me again who was president back then, I forget. Smells very fishy that she would "release" this on her last day when her boss is in serious trouble over the Iran mess rather than release them last year. I'm very dubious about anything that this woman says or does at the moment.

As Jock said, we're being played.

Not sure it is or what brought that on.

Some people are right wing & some are not, as in life.

Lots of internet chatter about the video being ai as well. If it is real then it's just a "don't look over there look over here" video.

How about releasing the Epstein files? What happened to them?

Never believed a word of it to start with thank god, nore did I stick any of that poison repeated jabs to save the other jabs that failed the 3 jabs before in my veins thank f**k. I was one of the so called idiot conspiracy theorists also if I remember correctly at the time and told I should go pump untested crap in me to help others :lol:

The longer it went on the more ridiculous it become also in my opinion. Remember the eat out nonsense you could stand up in a restaurant but must wear your mask but when you sit down then take it off. :lol:

I went to Asda bloke said you need a mask as I was walking around so I said to him take this instead and went to hand him 50p and he said what's that going to do, so told him f**k all like your silly mask.

The bullshit news spreaders kept telling the unjabbed to get the vaccination to protect the already jabbed.
Then telling the already vaccinated to get another jab as the two they had previously basically don't work.
Then saying to the unjabbed there putting the vaccinated in danger without the vaccinations that didn't work for the jabbed to start with.
Contradicting idiots but people soaked that shit up.

Had to take one to go to the Algarve, then get tested in Albuferia to return to UK. All legit because the bird in Portugal doing the €30 test, had a white coat on.

Worcester, (aka Ned) has a right to his opinion. Equally so do us all.

If you look at political differences on this forum you will obviously see that it is only the left who name call, abuse and ultimately throw their toys out of the pram when they cannot respond to a reasoned debate.

If you do not like a debate it is quite simple, do not click on the thread. As far as I can see, every political thread on this great forum has a caveat of "OT" or "O/T". This tells you that it is not a football related thread and I suggest you do not click on it if you do not want to read differing political views to yourself.

Name calling, such as "turd" helps no one. It actually makes you look very simple. This thread is about how, why, when, where and who lied to the public to cover up their own lies. It is now quite obvious and the truth is a lot deeper than has been revealed. :bluebird:

You speak the truth which is backed up by the original post and you get called a turd that's why I laugh and let them be, your right in every way. The name calling wouldn't happen face to face thats where some differ on here but it is what it is, my post was more about being a 5 year old saying I'm taking my ball home like Ned said because he didn't like people's posts claiming there right wing if he don't like others opinions but it's nothing new.

Ned brings alot to this forum for sure on a football fans level but this post isn't about football like you said :bluescarf:
