Last month the Justice Department filed criminal charges against Dr. David Morens of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) for using his private email to conceal official activities from the public.
According to federal prosecutors, Dr. Morens tried to keep taxpayer dollars flowing to the EcoHealth Alliance, headed by Peter Daszak. He was the middleman in NIAID’s dealings with China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which also, prosecutors charge, handed out gifts to Dr. Morens.
The accused is a former top aide to Dr. Anthony Fauci, who had been the head of NIAID since 1984. Dr. Fauci is doubtless the primary target of the prosecution, but there’s a problem.
Dr. Fauci funded the WIV to perform dangerous gain-of-function research, but maintained that the COVID virus emerged naturally in the wild. The NIAID boss teamed with NIH director Francis Collins to brand dissenters as conspiracy theorists, fringe epidemiologists, and so forth.
In 2021, Sen. Rand Paul referred Dr. Fauci for criminal charges, but the Biden DOJ took no action. On his last day in the White House, Biden pardoned Dr. Fauci without indicating any crime he had committed. The action against Dr. Morens provides a clue, but the possibilities are far more extensive.
