Fauci Calls on China to Release Medical Records of Wuhan Lab Workers

Dr. Anthony Fauci has called on China to release the medical records of nine people whose ailments might provide vital clues into whether COVID-19 first emerged as the result of a lab leak, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.

“I would like to see the medical records of the three people who are reported to have got sick in 2019. Did they really get sick, and if so, what did they get sick with?” the report quoted Fauci as saying.

The State Department released a fact sheet on Jan. 15 stating that researchers at a Chinese virology laboratory in Wuhan were seriously ill in 2019, a month before the first COVID-19 cases were reported.

Chinese scientists and officials have consistently rejected the lab leak hypothesis, claiming the virus could have circulated in other regions before it hit Wuhan and might have even entered China through imported frozen food shipments or wildlife trading.

A spokesman for China’s foreign ministry, Wang Wenbin, declined to comment directly on whether China would release the records.

Financial Times reported that Fauci continues to believe the virus was first transmitted to humans through animals, pointing out that even if the lab researchers did have COVID-19, they could have contracted the disease from the wider population.

Jim Banks: Schumer China Bill a ‘Massive Boondoggle that’s Going to Help the Chinese’ and Hurt Americans

Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), Chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC), says the Democrats’ China bill is a “massive boondoggle that’s going to help the Chinese” and hurt Americans, making the remarks during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday.

Banks explained that Democrats are falsely pitching the China bill as a way to better compete with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), but he said it is innately flawed as it has absolutely no safeguards to prevent the theft of our intellectual property or research.

The problem, Banks said, is the bill does “exactly the opposite of what the Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer’s reporting that it does.”

“They say it would help the United States compete with China. We believe it actually helps China and there are a lot of reasons why,” the Indiana lawmaker explained, referring to it as a “boondoggle spending bill” which spends hundreds of billions funneling money to places that are already susceptible to being taken advantage of by the CCP, stealing our intellectual property.

“For example, it gives $29 billion to the Nation Science Foundation for research and development on new technologies but does nothing to safeguard those investments from being stolen by the CCP,” Banks said, explaining the bill gives hundreds of billions to similar areas, such as universities, which the CCP has a strategy to take advantage of, mentioning the creation of Confucius institutes used to steal American research.

“Why would we funnel so much more money to the exact places that the Chinese are using to take advantage of us and steal our military secrets and our research?” Banks asked. “That’s exactly what that bill would do.”

The chairman, citing the U.S. Trade Representative, said the Chinese steal $600 billion worth of our intellectual property every year in the United States of America.

“It’s a whole other thing to talk about the jobs lost in the United States, working-class jobs good-paying jobs in America, that are lost to the theft of our intellectual property,” he explained.

“This isn’t about entrepreneurs getting wealthy. This is about good-paying, working-class jobs in America that are lost through $600 billion worth of theft of intellectual property in the United States,” he explained.

China, Banks continued, is embedded in our research institutions and different government-invested areas, such as the government research we funnel to the Department of Defense and college campuses.

GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy Calls on Anthony Fauci to Step Down: ‘Let’s Find a Person We Can Trust’

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) believes Dr. Anthony Fauci should leave his post with the Biden administration, saying during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday the American people “don’t have trust” in him.

McCarthy told host Matthew Boyle that trusting the officials tasked with answering questions surrounding coronavirus, such as the virus’s origin, is imperative and that Fauci, President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has squandered that trust.

The GOP leader’s comments come after more than 3,000 of Fauci’s emails, which BuzzFeed News obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request and made public this week, raised new questions about the medical chief’s management of coronavirus.

“I mean everything we’re finding there, how can the president— and I know the American people don’t have trust in Dr. Fauci,” McCarthy said. “Let’s find a pers

McCarthy continued, “We’re talking about an administration that shifted course when they first came in, the Biden administration, and gave millions of dollars back to the World Health Organization that lied to the world that is controlled by China. We watched that they changed the direction when we were standing up to China to appease China now. This is the wrong direction, and I don’t believe anybody in America can trust that to get to the bottom of it.”

Clarifying if McCarthy believes Fauci should no longer work for Biden, Boyle asked, “So it sounds like you think he needs to go?”

McCarthy replied, “Yeah, because you do not have the trust in him.”

McCarthy joins several other congressional Republicans who have recently stated publicly they hold this position. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) wrote Saturday in an op-ed titled “If Biden believes in science, he must fire Fauci” that he believes Fauci “is exploiting his position in government” after dismissing the lab-leak theory and denying that American taxpayers may have funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, where the virus originated.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) on Friday called Fauci’s emails “shocking” and said he should resign, while Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) posted about him on social media this week with the hashtag “#firefauci.” Several House Republicans also made use of the hashtag this week, including Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Thomas Massie (R-KY), Dan Bishop (R-NC), and others.

Despite these calls, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said as recently as Friday that Biden will not fire Fauci, and the president himself said Friday he is “very confident in Dr. Fauci.”

McCarthy also deemed Fauci untrustworthy because of his flip-flopping on coronavirus issues — such as mask-wearing — though Fauci has attributed this to being part of the process of scientific inquiry. McCarthy quipped, “I need a chiropractor anytime he talks because he gives me whiplash from one position to the other.”

“You’ve got to trust the individuals to look into this. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have died, and as he’s taken every certain position in it, how are you able to come back with the trust of the nation to get to the bottom of it?” the GOP leader asked. “We have to know what went on and who knew what and when.”

Rand Paul: ‘I’ve Had Five Death Threats’ for Questioning Anthony Fauci

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said Friday he and his family received several death threats after his disagreements with Dr. Anthony Fauci.

“But you know what, the other danger is, I’ve had five death threats just for being outspoken on it. This week I’ve had five death threats. I don’t know what the world’s coming to,” Paul said during an interview on Fox New’s Channel’s Hannity.

“You can’t ask honest, difficult questions that in the end have turned and proved out that Dr. Fauci was not being honest with us. But as a repercussion, my family had white powder sent to our house and five death threats phoned in,” he added.

In May, the FBI and Capitol Hill police investigated a package sent to Paul’s home that contained white powder and a violent image, reports said at the time.

Later in an interview on Fox Business Network’s Mornings with Maria, Paul and his wife, Kelley, spoke about the package and image, although the powder was deemed harmless, according to Breitbart News.

“It was really … a terrifying day, and it’s pure terrorism. People are just trying to terrorize us into silence, you know, for being a public servant,” Kelley Paul told host Maria Bartiromo.

This week, Sen. Paul, who has been an outspoken critic of Fauci, called for him to be fired after emails emerged showing how the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases chief dealt with the pandemic behind the scenes:

In addition, Paul said Friday that Amazon and Barnes & Noble should release Dr. Fauci’s book as science fiction, Breitbart News reported.

“Oh, I don’t know. I think they should publish it. I love science fiction,” he wrote in a tweet:

Oh, I don’t know. I think they should publish it.

Fauci’s book, titled Expect the Unexpected: Ten Lessons on Truth, Service, and the Way Forward, was pulled this week by Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Hungarians Protest Against Planned Chinese University Campus

BUDAPEST–Thousands of Hungarians, some of them holding banners declaring “Treason,” protested on Saturday against a Chinese university’s plans to open a campus in Budapest.

Liberal opponents of nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban accuse him of cozying up to China, and fear the campus could undercut the quality of higher education and help Beijing increase its influence in Hungary and the European Union.

“I do not agree with our country’s strengthening feudal relationship with China,” Patrik, a 22-year-old student who declined to give his full name, said at the protest in the Hungarian capital.

He said funds should be used “to improve our own universities instead of building a Chinese one.”

The government signed an agreement with Shanghai-based Fudan University in April on building the campus at a site in Budapest where a dormitory village for Hungarian students had previously been planned.

Opposition politicians and economists have criticized what they say will be the high costs of the project and a lack of transparency. Budapest’s mayor opposes the plan.

“Fidesz is selling out wholesale the housing of Hungarian students, and their future, just so it can bring the elite university of China’s dictatorship into the country,” the organizers of Saturday’s protest said on Facebook.

Orban has built cordial ties with China, Russia, and other illiberal governments, while locking horns with Western allies by curbing the independence of scientific research, the judiciary, and media.

He faces a unified opposition for the first time since assuming power in 2010 before a parliamentary election due in 2022.

NYC hit-and-run victim identified by family, pals as actress Lisa Banes

Stage and screen actress Lisa Banes was fighting for her life Saturday after being struck this week by what cops say may have been a hit-and-run scooter driver — her first trip back to the city she loves since the pandemic, friends and family told The Post.

Banes, 65, — who lives in Los Angeles and who has appeared in dozens of TV shows and movies, including “A Cure for Wellness,” and “Gone Girl” — was on her way to meet her wife for a dinner party at a close pal’s home near Lincoln Center when she was mowed down by someone on a red and black scooter or motor bike Friday at 6:30 p.m. on West 64th and Amsterdam Avenue, according to friends and police.

Banes was in the crosswalk and had the right of way, police said.

She remained in critical condition late Saturday in the intensive care unit at Mount Sinai Morningside hospital with a traumatic brain injury, her family and friends said.

“We’ll know more in the next few days,” said wife Kathryn Kranhold, who was by her side at the hospital.

Kranhold said she did not know the city’s rules for e-bikes and scooters “but it feels like it is a lawless roadway,” she told The Post.

The terrible accident was a cruel twist for Banes, who had been delighted to finally make it back to the Big Apple with her wife, eager to see old friends — and the city — that she missed so much, pals told The Post.

“She loves, loves, loves New York,” according to friend Cynthia Crossen, who said Banes’ itinerary included clinking glasses at an annual Memorial Day Weekend party at producer Clive Davis’ Westchester home. “She’s an LA girl but she spent so many happy years here.”

On Friday, Banes had a mini reunion with the cast of “The Niceties,” the 2018 play she starred in at the Manhattan Theatre Club, Crossen said.

Afterwards, she phoned Kranhold — a former Wall Street journal scribe whom she married at a small ceremony about four years ago at City Hall — at around 6:20 p.m. to meet up at Crossen’s pad near Lincoln Center.

When Banes didn’t show up, her wife began frantically phoning her. Eventually, someone at the hospital picked up the phone and told her the awful news.

Cops announced no leads Saturday, only saying the suspect — who they believe blew a light at the intersection — remained at large, and adding that it was unclear what kind of vehicle he was driving.

“No one knows for sure. Some witnesses said it was a scooter. Some said it was a motorcycle with no plate,” an NYPD spokesman said.

City streets have become more treacherous this year, with 58 pedestrians killed by vehicles through Thursday compared to 27 during the same period last year, NYPD stats show. There were also two deaths among operators of e-bikes and scooters, according to the NYPD.

“There has to be a way to force these riders to respect the law. It’s not fair that pedestrians can do everything right and follow the rules and still get run over,” said Lisa Figueroa-Capo, as she was walking Saturday by the accident scene.
