Former President Donald Trump says Dr. Anthony Fauci must answer many questions
Former President Donald Trump issued a statement on Thursday saying that National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci needs to answer many questions.
"After seeing the emails, our Country is fortunate I didn't do what Dr. Fauci wanted me to do," Trump said. "For instance, I closed our Borders to China very early despite his not wanting them closed. The Democrats and the Fake News Media even called me a 'xenophobe.' In the end, we saw this was a life-saving decision, and likewise with closing our borders to Europe, specifically to certain heavily infected countries. I was later given credit, even by 'Tony,' for saving hundreds of thousands of lives. Dr. Fauci also didn't put an emphasis on speed of vaccine production because he thought it would take 3, 4, or maybe even 5 years to create. I got it done in less than 9 months with Operation Warp Speed. In retrospect, the vaccine is saving the world. Then, I placed the greatest bet in history. We ordered billions of dollars' worth of vaccines before we knew it even worked. Had that not been done, our wonderful vaccines would not have been administered until October of this year. No one would've had the shot that has now saved the world and millions of lives!
"Also, Dr. Fauci was totally against masks when even I thought they would at least be helpful. He then changed his mind completely and became a radical masker!" Trump declared in the statement. "There are a lot of questions that must be answered by Dr. Fauci. The funding of Wuhan by the U.S. was foolishly started by the Obama Administration in 2014 but ended under the Trump Administration. When I heard about it, I said 'no way.' What did Dr. Fauci know about 'gain of function' research, and when did he know it?"
In another statement Trump said that China should shell out a whopping $10 trillion dollars to the U.S. and the world because of the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Now everyone, even the so-called 'enemy,' are beginning to say that President Trump was right about the China Virus coming from the Wuhan Lab. The correspondence between Dr. Fauci and China speaks too loudly for anyone to ignore. China should pay Ten Trillion Dollars to America, and the World, for the death and destruction they have caused!" Trump said.
