PRESCOTT, AZ – Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) issued the following statement requesting Mr. Biden to fire National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Director Anthony Fauci: 

“Dr. Fauci has seriously mishandled the nation’s COVID-19 response. He has given contrary advice regarding the source of the virus, the transmissibility of the virus, the virulence of the virus, the efficacy of masks and vaccines, the efficacy of social distancing, and in general demeaned the public health community. Americans across the country have lost faith in our public health community as they beclowned themselves with false narratives and malpractice.

While telling Americans to “trust the science” Fauci routinely contradicted the established science.

Therefore, today I am asking that Mr. Biden fire Dr. Fauci following his testimony before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services where he admitted directing $600,000 in taxpayers’ money to a lab in Wuhan, China to study whether bats could transmit coronavirus to humans.

Dr. Fauci previously testified under oath at a Senate Committee hearing on May 12, 2021 that no taxpayer dollars were directed to fund research in Wuhan.

Dr. Fauci has repeatedly mislead the American people during this pandemic including saying that COVID-19 was not transmissible by vapor, only surface contact. Then it was both. Today it is only vapor, not surface contact. Fauci once said COVID-19 was not very contagious. Now he says it is super contagious. He said masks don’t help but then he mandated masks, urging they be doubled when worn. He falsely required all deaths to be recorded as COVID-19 deaths for anyone who died if there was a detected virus, even if the death was an accident or heart attack.  This greatly inflated our numbers.

Now Dr. Fauci has perjured himself before the United States Congress. Fauci must be held accountable for his stream of lies over the past year. It’s time for Mr. Biden to fire Dr. Fauci,” concluded Rep. Gosar.
