So what is your assertion? What are the odds you put on it that this information was forged or faked, and for what reason might it have been forged or faked. Fauci lied to congress and this is something we can say we now know. Gain of function research was funded. You're just trying to throw shit at the wall at this point to try to deny the obvious, and accept that Fauci is a political actor and a major liar, who lied to congress.
I haven’t made any assertion. You have, though - you don’t seem to understand that ‘not true’ doesn’t mean ‘forged or faked’. I’m not even asserting that the released information was untrue, merely pointing out that it may not be reliable.
Fauci didn’t lie to Congress, but it’s pretty plain that Paul was intimating that Fauci was somehow responsible for the deaths of 4 million people, which IS a lie.
