Dr. Anthony Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who famously claimed to “represent science,” has a monumentally bad memory.

In recent and lengthy testimony to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic behind closed doors, Fauci claimed that he “did not recall” over 100 times. In his deposition Nov. 23, 2022, in the federal case of Missouri v. Biden, Fauci’s recollection failed him 174 times.

Nonetheless, following two days and 14 hours of a wide-ranging interrogation over Jan. 8 and 9 examining the federal government’s flawed response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Fauci confirmed three vitally important points for the record.

1. The view that the deadly pandemic originated in a leak from a Chinese research lab no longer is a “conspiracy” theory.

2. Oversight by Fauci’s agency of grants to taxpayer-funded laboratories overseas is poor.

3. America’s top public health officials, including Fauci, didn’t “follow the science.”
