Joe Rogan Asks Sanjay Gupta if Fauci is ‘Being Honest’ About NIH Connection to Wuhan Lab’s Gain of Function Research

After Gupta predicted that “we may never know” the truth about the origins of the coronavirus, and whether or not it accidentally leaked from the Wuhan lab, Rogan asked about the NIH’s funding of EcoHealth Alliance, which The Intercept labeled,” a U.S.-based health organization that used federal money to fund bat coronavirus research at the Chinese laboratory.”
“They applied for a grant to specifically do — to insert a furin cleavage site — which is that particular part of the virus that raised so much concern,” Gupta explained of EcoHealth Alliance, adding, “I don’t know sometimes what to do with this. It’s highly suspicious.”
Rogan noted that Fauci has been questioned on the NIH’s connections to the Wuhan Institute’s gain of function research on the coronavirus, adding, “But if the NIH was giving funding to EcoHealth Alliance and EcoHealth Alliance was funding that kind of research, and then Fauci is not being honest about that.”
“I think the NIH is clearly funding EcoHealth Alliance and EcoHealth Alliance is clearly giving grants to Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Gupta responded, confirming he believes there is a direct connection between the three institutions.
He went on to note that there are different ways of viewing gain of function research, as one form refers to research that takes a virus “you would know to be bad” and splicing it with another “bad” virus to create something worse.
Another form of research would manipulate a novel virus to determine how it would behave and how it would impact humans.
“You gotta know, for gain of function research, you know it’s going to lead to gain of function,” he added, confirming that a prominent issue regarding how medical experts have responded to the Wuhan lab’s research is concerned with semantics.

did Gupta just throw Fauci under the bus?

John Yarmuth retirement could be a canary in the coal mine for Democrats
Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large 10 hrs ago
Which brings me to the retirement announcement this week of Kentucky Rep. John Yarmuth, the sitting chairman of the House Budget Committee.
"Truth be told, I never expected to be in Congress this long. I always said I couldn't imagine being here longer than 10 years," Yarmuth said in a video posted on Twitter. "After every election, I was asked how long I intended to serve, and I never had an answer. Today, I do. This term will be my last."
Yarmuth cited his age he would be 75 at the end of this term - and a desire to spend more time with his grandson as reasons for his decision to walk away from Congress after eight terms. And, of course, those reasons are credible and we should believe Yarmuth when he cites them as at least some of why he is retiring
At the the same time, however, there is another message being sent in the Yarmuth retirement too: He doesn't seem to think Democrats are likely to hold onto their House majority come 2023.
Why? Because Yarmuth could serve as Budget chairman for as long as he likes – or at least as long as Speaker Nancy Pelosi (California) allows him to stay in the job. (Democrats, unlike Republicans, do not have term limits on their chairmanships.)
If Yarmuth felt good about Democrats' chances of holding onto their majority in 13 months, it's hard to imagine he would walk away from such a plum position – one that he spent nearly two decades in Congress working toward.
That he is walking away suggests that he sees the writing on the political wall: Democrats, currently clinging to a three-seat majority, are underdogs to keep their House majority in the 2022 midterms.
Both the past and present back up Yarmuth's possible doubts about Democratic chances.
Historically, the first midterm election of a president's term is hugely destructive for his side in the House. In 2018, Republicans lost 40 seats in Donald Trump's first midterm. In 2010, Democrats lost 63 House seats in Barack Obama's first midterm. In both instances, the president's party lost the majority in the House.
what is this?
