Mr. Fauci replied, "Sen. Paul, you do not know what you're talking about."

The media loved it.

Vanity Fair smirked, "Fauci Once Again Forced to Basically Call Rand Paul a Sniveling Moron."

But now the magazine has changed its tune, admitting, "In Major Shift, NIH Admits Funding Risky Virus Research in Wuhan ... Paul might have been onto something."

Then what about question two: Did COVID-19 occur because of a leak from that lab?

When Sen. Paul confronted Mr. Fauci, saying, "The evidence is pointing that it came from the lab!"

Mr. Fauci replied, "I totally resent the lie that you are now propagating."

Was Sen. Paul lying? What's the truth?

The media told us COVID came from an animal, possibly a bat.

But in my new video, Sen. Paul points out there were "reports of 80,000 animals being tested. No animals with it."

Now he's released a book, "Deception: The Great Covid Cover-Up," that charges Mr. Fauci and others with funding dangerous research and then covering it up.

"Three people in the Wuhan lab got sick with a virus of unknown origin in November of 2019," says Sen. Paul. The Wuhan lab is 1,000 kilometers away from where bats live.

Today the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Energy, and others agree with Sen. Paul. They believe COVID most likely came from a lab.
