Under The Rule Of Our Managerial Elites, There Will Be No Resignations

It doesn’t matter how badly they botch their jobs, or how much misery they cause, our ruling class is immune from accountability.

It must be nice to work for the Biden administration. No matter how badly you mess up, or lie, or mislead the American people, you will never be forced to resign or be held accountable. You can lie and dissimulate about the most serious matters facing the country, and nothing will happen to you.

Take two recent examples: the origins of COVID-19 and the botched Afghanistan withdrawal.


When news broke this week that the U.S. National Institute Of Allergy and Infectious Diseases funded dangerous bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through grants to EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S.-based health organization, it didn’t take long for some to call on Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of NIAID, to resign.

“Anthony Fauci has repeatedly and deliberately mislead Congress and the American people. Resign. And face a congressional inquiry,” tweeted Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley.

Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who has pointedly questioned Fauci on his agency’s involvement in so-called “gain-of-function” research in China, said Tuesday that he asked the Department of Justice “to review Fauci’s testimony for lying to Congress,” as he has done previously.

In May, Fauci told Paul and a Senate committee investigating the origins of COVID-19 that the National Institutes of Health, “has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”


But a report published Monday by The Intercept appears to flatly contradict Fauci’s statements to Congress. According to documents obtained by The Intercept as part of ongoing Freedom of Information Act litigation against the NIH, the agency issued grants to EcoHealth Alliance for “bat coronavirus research” in the amount of “$3.1 million, including $599,000 that the Wuhan Institute of Virology used in part to identify and alter bat coronaviruses likely to infect humans.”

Dr. Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University, reviewed the grant documents and concluded that, Fauci’s previous assertions notwithstanding, the NIH did in fact fund gain-of-function” research at the Chinese lab.

“The materials show that the 2014 and 2019 NIH grants to EcoHealth with subcontracts to WIV funded gain-of-function research as defined in federal policies in effect in 2014-2017 and potential pandemic pathogen enhancement as defined in federal policies in effect in 2017-present,” Ebright wrote on Twitter. “The materials confirm the grants supported the construction — in Wuhan — of novel chimeric SARS-related coronaviruses that combined a spike gene from one coronavirus with genetic information from another coronavirus, and confirmed the resulting viruses could infect human cells.”

So it seems Fauci has been lying about his knowledge of...
