Peter Daszak – another scientist connected to China whom Fauci claimed under oath not to remember – was also at the 2013 meeting. Poor Tony, stuck with such a severe case of the “I don’t recalls.”
The evidence has been hiding in plain sight for years.
On June 24, 2013, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci invited a small group of top coronavirus researchers to an all-day brainstorming session at a conference center at the National Institutes of Health.
The subject was nominally an outbreak of a new illness called MERS, or Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome, a lung disease caused by a novel coronavirus. At the time, about 70 people had contracted the virus. Almost 40 had died, an eye-popping fatality rate, making MERS more lethal than smallpox.
Despite its lethality, MERS appeared to be a minor health threat, because it did not spread rapidly or easily. So the scientists – and one scientist in particular, Dr. Ralph S. Baric, the world’s top expert on coronaviruses – spent the day talking about threats from not just MERS and its potential evolution, but novel coronaviruses generally.
Fortunately, the NIH has preserved a complete video record of the conference, which lasted almost six hours (not including a lunch break). It is available here.
And, on many different levels, from beginning to end, it is astonishing.
The video directly refutes Fauci’s denial under oath of knowing Baric and Peter Daszak, the British zoologist who along with Baric was a key link between the American government and the Chinese virologists in Wuhan whose work likely caused the SARS-Cov-2 epidemic.
In a deposition in 2022, Fauci said of Baric, a North Carolina microbiologist who has studied coronaviruses for decades, “I doubt if I’ve ever met him.” He characterized Daszak as not even an “acquaintance.”
Yet Daszak and other officials in his group EcoHealth Alliance are present at the meeting, which Fauci opened with a speech. Nine months later, Fauci would again cross paths with Daszak, when Fauci spoke on a panel in Washington about emerging infectious diseases, part of a two-day conference that Daszak had moderated and helped create.
But as the world’s preeminent coronavirus researcher, Baric was even more important to Fauci. As he opened the June 2013 meeting, Fauci spoke openly of wanting to be sure he constantly had new viral threats that would ensure his research budget would continue to grow.
Nothing more perfectly illustrated the potential threat of emerging infectious disease than the coronavirus – a seemingly minor pathogen that suddenly had erupted into a lethal outbreak, the second in a decade.
“Now we have a new one [disease] to put on the map for our friends [in Congress] who support us in these rather constrained times,” Fauci said in his opening address. He wasn’t joking or speaking metaphorically – he showed the scientists the actual map.

After his talk, Fauci took a seat alone in the front row to listen to the conference’s first invited speaker explain the growing threat of coronaviruses and how scientists and the NIH could work to fight them.
That speaker?
None other than Baric, who went on to dominate the day’s discussion. Not only did he give the first presentation, he returned after lunch to give another. He took over questioning repeatedly. One of the other scientists referred to him as an “eminence grise.” Another joked the NIH would be cutting Baric a check for a million dollars, no strings attached.
No wonder that seven years later, in February 2020, as Covid exploded out of China, Fauci would spend his extremely valuable time bring Baric into his offices for another private meeting to discuss the new epidemic – and its possible origins. Under oath, Fauci claimed not to remember anything about that meeting either, though it had taken place barely two years before.

So just why would Fauci go so far out of his way to deny knowing Baric? Why make such an implausible claim?
The rest of the video from June 24, 2013 offers as good an explanation as any, showing just how far Baric was willing go in trying to bring coronaviruses to heel – even if doing so raised the risk of a lab-created epidemic far deadlier than one that any natural coronavirus had ever caused.

‘under oath’ is meaningless in todays immoral society, eternal damnation is an empty threat to the sociopaths’ running the machine
Killing tony is the only correct “solution”.
It’s the only MORAL solution.
Deborah Birx Gets Her Close-Up
Most Americans will remember Dr. Deborah Birx as the “scarf lady” who served on the White House’s Covid Response Team beginning in February 2020.
According to a recently-released (but little-seen) 24-minute mini-documentary, it was Birx – even more so than Anthony Fauci – who was responsible for government “guidelines,” almost all of which proved to be unnecessary and disastrous for the country…
A particularly distressing sound bite from Birx lets viewers hear her opinion on how controversial “guidance” might be implemented with little pushback.
According to Birx, she intentionally buried the more draconian elements of the lockdowns in text at the end of long documents, theorizing (correctly apparently) that most reporters or readers would just “skim” the document and would not focus on how extreme and unprecedented these mandates actually were.
(Personally, I don’t give Anthony Fauci a pass as I’ve always figured he’s a “dark master” at manipulating members of the science/medical/government complex to achieve his own desired results.)
This is all theater, Tony says he doesn’t recall…prosecutor presents the hard evidence and states the crime…the jury finds Tony guilty and he gets sentenced…he can proclaim his innocence till the day he dies by the facts don’t lie.
The real question is, why wouldn’t he? There’s nothing he won’t do. He has no human character, just utterly amoral jungle law.

Baffling, right?
it’s because, like all his prior info on this subject, HE IS A LIAR.
Damn straight.
He’s a murderer…fixed it for you!
As people, many of them young, continue to die of turbo cancer, the question arises…Why aren’t Fauci and the rest of these “researchers” in jail?
Fauci had already Killed Many people (gay and straight) with his fucked up advice on AIDS back in the late 80’s and early 90’s, he insisted that they take AZT (which is a chemo drug) for HIV and it killed everyone who took it, look it up, it’s true. He should have been taken out long before cv19 came along
