Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the 5th Amendment to avoid answering questions over COVID during a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing:members of the committee, I served at the NIH for over 54 years, 38 of those as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Over that period, I proved that I believe in and respect the value of legitimate congressional oversight. In fact, I testified before and/or briefed Senate and House congressional Senate and House committees, well over 200 times over those 38 years. During and after the COVID pandemic, I have appeared multiple times for hearings in the Senate and the House, usually under oath, and sat for several days-long transcribed sworn interviews, answering questions about the very issues that are now the subject of this hearing. Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion.
