Live Q&A: Fauci Emails Suggest Lab Coverup; Gain-of-Function Research Enters Spotlight
The public release of emails from Dr. Anthony Fauci has revealed that top U.S. leaders dealing with policy on the COVID-19 virus may have conspired to prevent investigations into a possible China lab origin. And amid the revelation, U.S. officials are calling for additional investigations, including into U.S.-funded research with China on gain-of-function research.
In this Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we’ll discuss these stories and others, as well as answer questions from the audience.

Twitter Blocks ICAN Account for Stating They Will Be Releasing 3,600 Fauci Emails — LINK TO NEW FAUCI EMAILS BELOW
The Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) announced this week that they finally received emails sent last year by Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. This was after they were forced to file a lawsuit last year after their FOIA requests were denied.
This week after announcing they finally received the emails and were going to release these emails, Twitter blocked ICAN’s account.
This is similar to what Twitter did to The Gateway Pundit account earlier this year. When TGP announced we were going to release more video of late-night ballot drop-offs at the TCF Center in Detroit, our account was suspended.
Here is the ICAN press release from earlier today.
AUSTIN, TX, June 4, 2021 – In early 2020, ICAN made FOIA requests to NIH for documents regarding COVID-19, including two requests for emails sent by Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. When NIH failed to respond to those requests, ICAN brought a lawsuit against the agency on June 29, 2020.
In response to that lawsuit, NIH agreed to produce Dr. Fauci’s emails on a rolling basis. To date, ICAN has received 2,957 pages of Dr. Fauci’s emails, sent from early February 2020 through May 2020. There is some overlap between these emails and those recently made public by BuzzFeed.
Del Bigtree, the founder of ICAN, said, “We must hold our government health officials accountable when they make false claims” and “is pleased to provide the public with Fauci’s emails reflecting what he was saying privately in early 2020 regarding masks, therapeutics, vaccines, ventilators, and many other COVID-19 topics.”
Reflecting concern regarding what these emails may reveal, Twitter blocked ICAN’s account for merely stating that the Fauci emails it obtained would shortly be released to the public. Mr. Bigtree explained that “one can only assume that Twitter is concerned that Fauci’s own emails undermine the narrative it has been pushing regarding coronavirus and the coronavirus vaccine.”
A copy of Fauci’s emails obtained by ICAN can be downloaded here.
Highlights from these emails are outlined below and watch “The Highwire with DelBigtree” weekly at 2 pm Eastern for additional coverage regarding these emails and other health topics.

Malliotakis: We Need to See Unredacted Fauci Emails on Wuhan Lab
On Saturday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox News Live,” Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) said that we need to know what was in the redacted portions of emails from White House Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci discussing the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Malliotakis said, “Well, as I was going through some of the reporting on this issue, you may have noticed that the actual parts that talk about the connection to the Wuhan lab have been redacted. So first and foremost, I think we need to know what was in that redacted email that Fauci sent as it relates to Wuhan. Now, he seems to be changing his tune, and now, certainly, is also calling for a formal investigation.”

3 Ways Fauci Emails Expose Trail of Manipulation and Deception
The lead author of a seminal paper promoting the theory that SARS-Co-V-2 evolved in nature deleted 5,000 tweets — and then his entire Twitter account on June 6 — after a trove of emails obtained by BuzzFeed News revealed the researcher, who originally believed the virus originated in a lab, changed his mind after corresponding with Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Emails show Dr. Kristian Andersen, author of “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2,” published March 17, 2020 in Nature, was thanked by Fauci after he flipped his position on the origin of COVID. Five months later, Andersen received nearly $2 million in government funding for virus research.
The emails also show Fauci admitted masks are best suited for sick people to help stop the spread of the virus and are not effective in protecting healthy people from COVID, and that those who have had COVID have natural immunity, so they don’t need the vaccine.
1. Microbiologist flip flops on COVID origin theory, then gets millions in NIH funding
Private emails obtained by BuzzFeed via the Freedom of Information Act show Andersen, professor of immunology and microbiology at Scripps Research Institute, told Fauci in an email on Feb.1, 2020, that SARS-CoV-2 has “unusual features” that “potentially look engineered.”
Two months later, Andersen reversed his position and published a paper stating COVID did not come from a lab and was not “a purposefully manipulated virus.”
Scientist Kristian Anderson told Fauci SARS-CoV-2 has “unusual features” that “potentially look engineered”.
Not long after this email, the scientists authored a piece insisting the virus was natural and Fauci said the same publicly. This is a massive cover-up.

As The Defender reported last week, Andersen’s paper played a key role in shaping the mainstream media narrative that COVID evolved naturally, and also in making certain anyone who suggested the virus might have originated in a lab was branded a conspiracy theorist.
According to Gateway Pundit, Andersen’s paper helped protect Fauci, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is directed by Fauci, from “potential probes” into those agencies’ funding of controversial gain-of-function virus research.
Five months after the paper was published, Andersen received $1.88 million from the NIH to fund Centers for Research in Emerging Infectious Diseases, a global network of emerging infectious disease research that studies pathogen transmission, immune system responses and pathogen/host surveillance.
Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance received $1.54 million in gain-of-function research funding. Daszak is a virus hunter and mastermind behind a “bullying” letter signed by 27 scientists attacking anyone who challenged the narrative, established by Andersen’s paper, that COVID originated in nature.
2 months later he reverses course and publishes his “Proximal Origin” paper, helping shield NIH/NIAID from potential probes into its GOF funding.
5 months after that, he gets $1.88 million in CREID funding, along with Daszak who gets $1.54 million more.https://t.co/PFPIMxZd7o pic.twitter.com/7JmapgRNTm

After his emails with Fauci went public, Andersen deleted 5,000 tweets. Andersen’s account was no longer accessible on June 6, according to the internet archive The Wayback Machine, Newsweek reported.

2. Fauci tells U.S. Department of Health and Human Services secretary masks are only for the sick — but tells public something else
According to the BuzzFeed emails, in February 2020, Fauci did not believe paper masks — the kind sold at drugstores and worn by millions — protected healthy people from catching COVID. Instead, Fauci told Sylvia Burwell, former U.S. Department of Health and Human Services secretary:
“Masks are really for infected people to protect them from spreading infection to people who are not infected rather than protecting uninfected people from acquiring infection. The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through the material.”
The truth about masks. We were right. Fauci knew from the start that masks aren’t really effective in keeping out virus because the virus “is small enough to pass through the material.” #Fauciemails pic.twitter.com/1l3bX7AINh
— Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) June 2, 2021
That statement in Fauci’s private emails is far different than what he told the American public, which was that everyone may need to mask up until 2022, to stay protected from COVID and its variants.
3. Fauci admits people who have had COVID have ‘substantial immunity’
When oncologist Dr. Zeke Emanuel, former health advisor to then-President Barack Obama and a former member of Bill Clinton’s Health Care Task Force, asked Fauci via email if people who have recovered from COVID are immune to getting the virus again, Fauci replied:
“No evidence in this regard, but you would assume that there would be substantial immunity post infection.”
If people who have recovered from COVID have natural immunity to the virus, that would mean they don’t need to be vaccinated for it. Yet Fauci told Americans something very different when he said people who have had COVID still need to get the vaccine.
Fauci said people who have had COVID should get at least one dose of the vaccine. He also said people who have already had COVID should get one dose of the vaccine because they may have more protection from “highly contagious variants.”

For more than a year and a half, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) unlawfully stalled on my request for Dr. Anthony Fauci’s emails.

Fauci Emails Describe COVID Natural Origins Theory As ‘Highly Unlikely’ Despite Public Denials.
House Oversight Committee Republicans released emails showing American public health officials – including National Institutes of Health leaders Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins – downplaying COVID-19 potentially having a lab origin despite internal conference calls concluding the theory was viable.
Following the release of the emails, the group requested a “transcribed interview” with National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Anthony Fauci in a letter to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra.
“Excerpts of emails we are making public today reveal that Dr. Fauci was warned of two things: (1) the potential that COVID-19 leaked from the Wuhan Institute Virology (WIV) and (2) the possibility that the virus was intentionally genetically manipulated,” notes the letter signed by Committee on Oversight and Reform Ranking Member James Comer and Committee on the Judiciary Ranking Member Jim Jordan.

National Institutes of Health: “We therefore hypothesize that nose and mouth washing with hydrogen peroxide may enhance those local innate responses to viral infections and help protect against viral infections, including the current coronavirus pandemic.”
Published: National Institutes of Health, June 1, 2020
Researchers: Arturo Armone Caruso,a Antonio Del Prete,b and Antonio Ivan Lazzarinoc,⁎
Title: Hydrogen peroxide and viral infections: A literature review with research hypothesis definition in relation to the current covid-19 pandemic
Abstract: We reviewed the literature concerning the innate response from nasal and oral epithelial cells and their reaction to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). . . .
Methods: We searched the databases EMBASE and PubMed for relevant papers using the following entry terms: (“hydrogen peroxide” OR H2O2) AND (virus OR viral infection OR innate response). We have not used any other constrains. After duplicates were removed, we identified 2119 papers. . . .
Results: Moreover, a hydrogen peroxide solution of a concentration as little as 0.5% efficiently inactivates coronaviruses (e.g. SARS, MERS) on inanimate surfaces within 1 min [22]. This may justify the use of hydrogen peroxide washes in infected people too: the solution may decrease the viral load of their respiratory droplets, hence help tackle the spread in the community. . .
Conclusions: There are no randomized controlled trials or clinical observational studies concerning the curative or preventive effect of hydrogen peroxide against viral infections. However, the literature from in-vitro immunological studies clearly points out that the application of hydrogen peroxide on the epithelial cells of nose, throat and mouth may well be extremely effective against viruses, including coronaviruses. We strongly encourage the rapid development of randomized controlled trials in both SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative subjects to study the effects that we have hypothesized.

Dr. Mercola Describes Nebulizing Hydrogen Peroxide and Iodine To Combat Viral Infections
Unknown to the general public is the vast use of food grade hydrogen peroxide and iodine for the treatment of viral and bacterial infections.

Dr. Peter McCullough Reveals the Six Things Everyone Should Have in Their ‘Over-the-Counter Toolbox’ | Video: 59 Minutes 36 Seconds
There are certain doctors who are blowing the whistle on the ways our government has handled Covid-19. It seems that the only advice coming out of DC or otherwise is to get vaccinated. Any treatments or preventative measures are either ignored or outright discouraged. Everyone remembers the false notion that Ivermectin is just a “horse dewormer” despite the fact that it has been used by humans since long before Covid-19 ever existed.
One doctor who is spreading the truth is Dr. Peter McCullough. He has been censored and attacked for doing so. He has taken considerable losses for his adherence to the truth, but he persists. I was blessed to have him on my show. Among many other important topics, he discussed the six things everyone should have on hand as Omicron spreads.
As a very clear disclaimer, we are NOT recommending the following nutraceuticals as “treatments” for Covid-19. You’ll need to consult your doctor for that. But all of these have demonstrated efficacy in fighting or preventing the disease, particularly Omicron. It would also behoove us all for me to mention that four of the six items listed by Dr. McCullough are available through Dr. Zev Zelenko’s Z-Stack protocol. Use promo code “Freedom” if you do decide to purchase it. I take it daily myself.
With that said, here is what Dr. McCullough had to say about the six things to keep in your medical toolbox:
“If there was six things in the over-the-counter toolbox, I would put in there that Povidone Iodine. That’s about $5 if you buy it online. And then after that it would be Zinc, 50 mg a day. Vitamin D, 5,000 IUs a day, increased to 20,000 a day during active treatment. Vitamin C, 3,000 mg a day, active treatment. And then Quercetin, 500 mg a day for prevention, 500 mg per day for active treatment. And then one last one, which is over-the-counter antacid/antihistamine which actually reduces viral replication and that’s Famotidine or Pepcid, but at a high dose, 80 mg a day active treatment.
“So that over-the-counter list, if there was a shopping list if people were going to, in a sense, ‘brace themselves’ for Omicron, which it looks like it’s going to hit everybody.”
He then went on to describe the prescription drugs that many are taking to treat Covid-19 such as Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, among others.
This intriguing interview is a must-listen for anyone who wants to know how things are going with Omicron and what to expect in the future.

New Twitter CEO: ‘Why Should I Distinguish Between White People and Racists’
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey stepped down on November 29, 2021, only to be replaced by a new chief who immediately found himself in hot water for, of all things, an inflammatory tweet.
“‘If they are not gonna make a distinction between muslims and extremists, then why should I distinguish between white people and racists,’” Twitter’s new CEO Parag Agrawal said in a 2010 tweet.
“If they are not gonna make a distinction between muslims and extremists, then why should I distinguish between white people and racists.”
— Parag Agrawal (@paraga) October 26, 2010
Agrawal is the company’s former CTO.
The tweet is missing some context. The message was tweeted inside quotation marks, indicated that it might not be originally written by Agrawal.
The Tennessee Star asked Twitter for clarification, but none was given. The micro-blogging site also ignored The Star when asked whether Agrawal’s tweet violated its terms of service.
Agrawal is also facing scrutiny for comments during a 2020 speech, which was also during the height of Twitter’s many censorship scandals. Twitter has banned prominent conservatives all the way up to former President Donald J. Trump, using often-ambiguous “terms of service violations” to justify its actions.
“Our role is not to be bound by the First Amendment…focus[ing] less on thinking about free speech, but thinking about how the times have changed,” Agrawal reportedly said at the time.
Dorsey fully endorsed his successor while stepping down.
“I’ve decided to leave Twitter because I believe the company is ready to move on from its founders,” he said in an email to staff that he later posted publicly. “My trust in Parag as Twitter’s CEO is deep. His work over the past 10 years has been transformational,” he added of his successor. “I’m deeply grateful for his skill, heart, and soul. It’s his time to lead.”
Dorsey said he was “really sad but really happy” to be leaving the company he founded.
He also quipped that “there aren’t many founders who choose their company over their own ego.”
Shares of Twitter stock soared 11 percent pre-market on the rumor that Dorsey was leaving his post, and surged even further when the news was official. NASDAQ briefly paused trading on Twitter stock during that time.

“China is Laughing at Us:” Twitter Suspends Rep. Jim Banks and Censors Marjorie Taylor Greene for Pointing Out That “The First-Ever Female 4 Star Admiral,” Rachel Levine, is a MAN
The week of October 13, 2021, Twitter cracked down on two sitting US House Representatives for factually acknowledging that Biden’s assistant health secretary of the HHS – Rachel Levine – was a man for almost 50 years, and shouldn’t be labeled as the “first female anything.” She lived the majority of his entire life as a man before transitioning in her late 40’s.
Levine was sworn in to her new position earlier this week and was promptly labeled “the first-ever female” four-star admiral to serve in the US government.
Reps Banks (R-IN) and Greene (R-GA) took a stand for women when they sent their tweets, pointing out that attributing the title of the first female anything to Levine would be a hindrance to furthering equal rights for women. Even for old white men, if they meet the qualifications, so the Twitter speech police quickly sprung into action to censor the lawmaker’s statements.
Rep. Greene wrote on Twitter that “A dude who lived the first 50 years of his life as a man isn’t the first female anything” and followed it up by pointing out the fact that, thanks to all of this woke BS, Communist China is laughing at us.
Twitter immediately censored the tweet but allowed it to stay up. Likes, retweets, and comments are no longer allowed on the post and the platform added a banner that reads “This tweet violated the Twitter rules about hateful conduct. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.”

— Marjorie Taylor Greene
(@mtgreenee) October 20, 2021
The Tweet was censored instead of removed because the congress member’s post falls under the platform’s policy regarding public figures, which allows tweets to remain up even if it violates other policies if the account is held by a “current or potential member of a local, state, national, or supra-national governmental or legislative body.”
Apparently, this ‘public figure’ policy only applies to hand-picked cases. As we saw with President Trump when he was still in office. The selective nature of their policy was proven once again this week when Rep. Banks sent out a similar tweet to Greene’s, but instead of being censored, the lawmaker was locked out of his Twitter account and cannot get back in unless he deletes his tweet about Rachel Levine.
Banks’ Tweets simply pointed out that “the title of first female four-star officer goes to a man” and explained that calling Levine such is “an insult to every little girl who dreams of breaking glass ceilings one day.”
NEW: Twitter has censored @RepJimBanks for calling HHS’ Rachel Levine a man. He will be locked out of his account until he deletes the tweet, “The title of first female four-star officer gets taken by a man.” pic.twitter.com/6wdDqJ36kH
— Mary Margaret Olohan (@MaryMargOlohan) October 23, 2021
Here is the other tweet that he posted:
It’s unclear why Banks had more severe repercussions for posting almost the exact same tweet as Greene.
Libby Emmons, a writer with the Post-Millennial perfectly encapsulated the lunacy of the entire situation in just one paragraph.
“For many, Levine, who spent the majority of her life as a white, biological male, with all of the privileges thereto, is not diverse at all, but more of the same. Levine’s new achievement of “first female” is a hard pill for many to swallow, who are told not to trust their eyes, or science, but to simply believe what they are told by officials who specialize in double-speak.”
This whole “first female” fiasco has solidified the fact that we are officially living in clown world.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is right, Communist China is laughing its way to more power.

NICKI MINAJ: ‘Open Your F**king Eyes’ to COVID Censorship, Twitter Ban is ‘Making Me Think’ That ‘There’s Something Bigger’ Going On
After being temporarily suspended from Twitter on September 15, 2021, for questioning the COVID vaccine, pop star Nicki Minaj encouraged Americans to “open your f**king eyes” to the censorship currently happening in the West, adding that her ban made her think that “there’s something bigger” going on.
Minaj, the Trinidadian-born pop star, had made global news in recent days, for tweeting in support of medical freedom, explaining that someone she knows became “impotent” after taking one of the controversial COVID vaccines and then urging her followers to pray and weigh the benefits of getting vaccinated. In response, globalist media outlets became enraged at the star, with only Tucker Carlson and other pro-freedom outlets defending her. On Wednesday evening, Minaj even tweeted out a clip of Carlson defending her, causing an even greater backlash from pro-vaccine defenders. . . .
In what may not be a surprise to some, Minaj added that many other musical artists feel the same way as her, “but they’re afraid to speak up” for fear of the same backlash happening to them. “I will never use Twitter again,” she added, noting that her ban from Twitter was making her think “that there’s something bigger” happening with censorship in general around the COVID vaccine:
I kept on seeing all these people with all these conspiracy theories I was like, oh what, please. But what in the world scared y’all that much that made you disable my f**king Twitter? I have not put out anything that I said was a fact about anything. I simply said we should be able to ask questions and speak. It’s scary when they start telling you that you can’t ask questions about anything… Listen to me. Please. Open your fucking eyes. Open your eyes! That’s all.
American Booksellers Association ‘Protects’ Twitter Account After Censorship Backlash
The American Booksellers Association (ABA) has “protected” its Twitter account — hiding its tweets from public view — in the wake of a controversy last week over its effort to censor a book that is critical of transgenderism among girls.
Last week, the ABA apologized for including the book, Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters, written by Abigail Shrier, in a newsletter, referring to its own article about the book as a “violent incident.”
As Breitbart News reported:
The ABA tweeted, “An anti-trans book was included in our July mailing to members. This is a serious, violent incident that goes against ABA’s ends policies, values, and everything we believe and support. It is inexcusable.”
…
The New York-based ABA describes itself as “a national not-for-profit trade organization that works to help independently owned bookstores grow and succeed.”
Criticism of the ABA’s censorship began to pour in, with some likening it to medieval book-burning. The Wall Street Journal noted:
Ms. Shrier supports medical gender transitions for adults and opposes discrimination against trans individuals. Her justifiable concern is with adolescent girls who have shown no childhood history of gender dysphoria, and who might later regret a decision that alters their bodies in fundamental ways.
…
The woke left doesn’t want anyone questioning its dogma on transgender identity. But there’s much that the scientific, psychological and medical communities do not know about gender, and novel fields of study in particular rely on free and open inquiry. The left’s impulse to silence skeptics and dissenters on this and so many other subjects should be unacceptable in a free society.
In response to the controversy, the ABA — rather than defending its censorship — has censored itself. Its Twitter account has been “protected” . . .
