Hillsdale is located in michigan. Its an old college founded in 1844, teaches the liberal arts to anyone and everyone will who will hear that and is one of the first colleges in the country that forbid any distinctions based on sex or religious based on race, sex or religious belief. Its dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and preservation of civil and religious liberty. It was the spring break of 2020 when our students were away from campus that is something called covid19 caused us not to bring them back and we resumed the last few months this semester. But based on advice and work we have done with of the Hoover Institute in the stamford stanfd university and Martin Coulter formerly of harvard, we developed policies to protect our students and primarily those that are most vulnerable which word our faculty. We regain our footing and quickly held graduation that same year and resumed classes in the fall. In december 2021 we launched an academy of science and freedom in response to the covid19 pandemic in order to better understand the relationship between freedom and science and the pursuit of truth. It is a grave concern as with any lifethreatening pandemic. But the Public Health program developed in response left Many Americans with even more concerns about the confusing and sometimes contradictory policies that were developed in response but also the unscientific and seemingly political decisions coming from the Public Health experts. The response raised serious questions about science and how it operates in Public Affairs and revealed the degree to which Public Health how to become another administrative bureaucracy dominated more by politics and science. Many were frustrated, but very few seriously questioned the nei arrangement. One who did was our speaker this evening. His relentless questioning through congressional oversight, i dont know about you but i vividly recall his questioning of the Public Health officials in the United States senate room led him to focus on the origins of covid19 and then took questions about research and funding that gave rise to the pandemic and then the whole narrativee that grew up around those questions. It is a result of that work into the concerns about the next pandemic. Senatorr paul represented the state of kentucky since 2011. Hes a doctor, graduate of the University School of medicine and he has practiced ophthalmology and knows of what he speaks and hows a serious concern about these questions. Hes long been an energetic opponent of government overreach and currently serves on the Foreign Relations health education, labor and pensions the Homeland SecurityGovernmental Affairs and Small Business and entrepreneurship committees. In the senate they actually do a lot of work. The book is deception, the great covid coverup. I would point out as i told doctor paul earlier that i read many books written by political figures, and this is not one of those. This is a serious and interesting page turning book. We are honored to have him with us today. Please join me in welcoming senator rand paul. [applause] i travel from Bowling Green kentucky where i live and then return at the end of the week and ive been married 33 years as of last week. I get home and i think when i knock on the door my wife lets me in and she will have my slippers may be a hug and kiss, may be a martini and you know enwhat i usually get, i opened e door and you know what she says, how come Anthony Fauci isnt in jail yet . [applause] but its not for lack of trying. I have referred him twice to the department of justice. The attorney general may be the most partisan attorney general weve had. There used to be a sense of distance between the attorneye general and politics but i think there is no longer and we have thes proof. He lied in congress which is a felony. Inits in his own email and his own words. When you want to know when the coverup b began, when the conspiracy began, it began january 201st of 2020. The virus has only been out a couple weeks in china and they were saying itsra not transmitd between humans. This is months after it really erupted. We know that it started in the lab that the first three people, we actually know their names. Theyve worked for the one they call the great bat scientist and first patient zero they think hase been you. We know that because they declassified that in the trump administration. These three were sick and the findings were consistent with covid. The pandemic back in 2003 and a 2004 but they didnt have a covid a test but they had the signs and symptoms. If they had admitted the truth and subjected for antibody analysis we could have proved they were the first patients but all the evidence points to that. We know the chinese were dishonest in their death count in all likelihood millions of people died in china and yet there was no real accounting for that. I begin the book by talking about a young ophthalmologist who i say reminded me of myself. I was an ophthalmologist a few years ago and he was idealistic and us all the pandemic coming and began reporting it. If you report or reveal the truth, he was arrested and was made to go through a struggle and to shame himself and admit that he had been guilty of gossip were rumors against the state. We dont say how he died necessarily but in his age group pulling 004 , so it was extraordinary he did die from covid it was still extraordinary for him but i recount at the beginningop because it was so striking. The way they responded to it in china should send shivers up your spine. Thats how they are responding and i think one of us can kind of believe in the totalitarian government would respond but we think our government when we are a free world liberal democracy, we would certainly not react that way. What we discovered and ive idiscovered going through this s january 21 the conspiracy began in the flurry of emails between Anthony Fauci and others around the world and jeremy who is the sort of Anthony Fauci of england may be the biggest dispenser in all of europe. The emails have a hairy nature you know how you can read emails between people and get a sense that they are worried an also because they go on until three in the morning. They go on through midnight. They are emailing Anthony Fauci and saying we see this paper and its gaining function of research and it looks like wero funded it but it never went to the Safety Committee. Mysterious, never went through the committee. We were unsure how that could have ever happened. Hehes responding to his assistt saying there will be duties. Have your cell phone up. I will have duties for you in the morning. At three in the morning i didnt know who that was at the time in fact they didnt know for a year or two and then i met him. He was the head of the Safety Committee but just like government is and screws up so many things the Safety Committee secret, the name off the people that are supposed to review dangerous pandemics so we dont create a pandemic isco secret. The people are secret and so are the deliberations. I still have never seen their deliberations but oneli thing i know is only three grants were ever looked out and none of them were the grants in wuhan. It says this, heres an interesting article and it looks like it came from animals. All the evidence looks like it came from animals. Was this an accidental thing or something he just made a mistake and we didnt get it reviewed . No, it is a lifelong philosophy. Its more dangerous, lethal, contagious. This has been going on foror a decade. It started with a famous research of the avian flu in the netherlands in 2010. The avian flu if youve ever seen when they have the reports killing the millions of chickens and primarily china but other places its very contagious. Not very contagious to humans but when it affects humans it kills about 50 . Its a bad disease. Its adapted for chickens, birds, and its very transmissible. So the research in the netherlands said i wonder if we take the flu and give it some mutations if we could make it contagious throughgh the air and lo and behold he did that but people became alarmed like this could be a recipe to create something that could kill over 50 of the population and they debated over whether to publishh it because they thought it could be a roadmap for terrorism so the debate goes back and forth. On one side are the good guys and many of them you learn about in the book who are scientists and credentialed at many of the prestigious universities and get very worried about this. On the other side, Anthony Fauci and all of his colleagues that helped him in the coverup. And he actually says in 2012 that even if a scientist were to become infected, even if a pandemic were to occur from the gain of function research that the knowledge would be worthwhile. I would venture to say thee people who lost loved ones would probably disagree with him. So this is the way this begins. They are having conversations. The emails are going on in a frantic pace. The Anthony Fauci of england is having discussions with his wife who remembers 17 phone calls in one evening. Shes a scientist also and says to him maybe you should talk to your family. Maybe you should inform your family in case something happens. It never really intimates whos going to kill him or who might but he might be killed over this knowledge. Dont use your government email. Yet there was this idea we are just going to go outside of the boundaries to have these discussions. This began january 31, so theres a big phone call and in that phone call the results of that. We get an email from Anthony Fauci of the conversation that is a Group Texting mechanism. Yes, weve all looked at it. It is a fear site that allows them to enter into human cells this is just extraordinary. They are doing the gain of function research. Fast forward a year he comes before my committee under oath and its unequivocally never, ever funded the gain of function research. They change the definition of the gain of function and to the website the day before the hearing and changed theen definition. But even that isnt enough to weasel out of this. They have to be human viruses. Im what if you take two different ones and put them together and now they infect humans. You dont know this in advance. We do know that certain of the backbones of the viruses are combined and ten, 20 . There are some the labs are working onni such as ebola that have 50 mortality. He thinks this will happen again but he thinks next time itld cod be 5 or 50 . If youvee ever read about the black plague or the 14th century, its hard to imagine what happens when a third of people die and in those days that is laws of knowledge, loss of knowhow. If we had a third of the country or 50 of the world we are talking about starvation, lack of clean water,on constant and chronic fighting for whats left. We are talking about a disaster, a risk to civilization. Kevin is a scientist who does the Crisper Technology trying to fix genetic disease by inserting genes. We are not against technology. These Fabulous Technology thats out there. Hes the one doing the research but he says the gain of function research is a risk that civilization shouldnt take. He believes and so do other scientists that we should look at this the way we look at nuclear weapons. Right now as we said we could leave here and go on the internet to make the poliovirus. If they decided to monkey around with this and release it. The reason it is unlikely as you probably put someone on a plane and you wouldnt have it in your country. When you have a general next to your name its also the Peoples Liberation army part of the communist apparatus. He was working on a vaccine in 2019. In fact something mysterious happened in february, 2020 a month after they said it wasnt transmissible and theres nothing to see here and they said look the other way, they have a vaccine in february, 2020. Nobody believes you can get one that fast but they do think it started in november or if youd actually created the virus and you were tryingva to work on a vaccine and then the virus got out you could have been prepared. He creates it in february 2020 and it doesnt work very well and in april he mysteriously either falls orr is killed. Two months later we know he was working on a virus and with the doctors and they knew how to do this research to take act coronavirus to make it more infectious for humans we know they were doing this. Did our government find out any misinformation, absolutely not. They had everything from the beginning and continued to highlighted documents and it is a rare democrat except when i bludgeon them under duress thatr will help me. The only ones that will ever sign a document request are when i hold up like 40 nominees and 40 pieces of legislation into say youre not getting it and then i have to trade legislation for them to sign the document. What we do know is this in 2018 theres a request through darpa that is a Research Project agency and the request was from the scientists whove done a lot of this work and ralph and peter who i call the bad man, the bagman that carries the money. They asked for Research Money to take a coronavirus that allows it to get the human cells and remarkably he turned it down but wouldnt that be a clue if a year later theres all of a sudden a virus going on that looks just like this if you had done this project lets say you are one of the scientists wouldnt you immediately remember anna say we were going to do that but then we didnt get the money. I wonder if they did it. Not one of this reported it. Do you know how we know the Research Project because the whistleblower told us about it and said he looked for it in the file and surmised that it should have been in the file and it wasnt there. He looked again after id had an altercation and it was back in the file. He thinks they moved it initially and then back into a file. I dont know if hes talking about an oldfashioned file or computer file but he finds it. Why would he have told us . Why would peter have told us. They met with fauci in the first month the virus is beginning. He began testimony. Without a video, i love doing this as we look through the book we found in a scientific conference where he does a presentation. You ask about the response. Like bill clinton he said about 300 times in the deposition he didnt recall. The goal of this but to add on top in the beginning i was in that involved with this in 2020 the scientists i didnt look into this. It began p in 2021 as other peoe began writing about it particularly a great article that no one would publish and he published it on medium. Com and is a former New York TimesScience Writer yet he was being pushed out and called a conspiracy theorist. At this time and for about a year, facebook suppressed any stories on the leak. It would be badal enough if we would all just be mad at face began to tell them to take a hike but they are doing this in conjunction with our government and that makes them an arm of the government but basically theyve become an arm of the government, twitter, facebook when they meet with government officials, the fbi, the department of Homeland Security, the cdc, the White House Press spokesman they are all meeting with him and saying take it down. At one point they are taking so much stuff, down they say we wt continue to be your sensor but we want to be paid for. They pay 3. 5 million for their work. I asked christopher about this this weekend he hasnt recalled. He says we pay them all the time. And they do which is another story we shouldnt be allowing either but there was a time when the left cared about this and more than the right. A time in the 1960s when the fbi went after Martin Luther king and protesters but the left was the defender. We need government to keep us safefe and now the tables have been turned. They tried to prevent them from meeting with media to suppress constitution and if they they rd it and said what if people say that its been changed to wednesday and you trick them into not voting shouldnt the government shut those people down that are lying about when the election is. If you are fooled, maybe you shouldnt be competent enough to vote i shouldnt say that but anyway the thing is even if that kind of stuff is occurring you could argumenta that they would have a role in the saying it hasnt been changed and putting out a Public Service announcements that its still on tuesday. Even and 95 works in certain circumstances. For short periods of time worn properly is of some benefits but i will tell you whats not, cutting up your tshirt with your favorite sports team. Its actually malpractice. With the National Monument when he does that its actually malpractice because lets say you are at risk and your spouse has covid, i will take care of my spouse and wear it. Youre putting yourself at risk by getting the bad advice and yet thats what we have. He was rewarded for his service and got a Million Dollar prize from the nonprofit organization. From 7 million to 11 million he gets royalties that wont reveal who they are from and how much or who the other scientists are i think it w
