Sen. Rand Paul stated that the United States government funded experiments to aerosolize Ebola multiple times. During an appearance on “Katie Pavlich Tonight,” the Kentucky Republican acknowledged that emails between Dr. Anthony Fauci and his assistant led to the discovery of the experiments. The issue was also found in the former White House COVID-19 czar’s diary, where he said, “Regarding an experiment that the USAMRIID did that challenged NHPs with aerosolized Ebola to see if the VSN vaccine protected. Obviously, it did not. Stupid experiment. This should have been a classified experiment.” “Anybody that wants to aerosolize Ebola, I think has a death wish,” Paul said. “Maybe a death wish for civilization because it does have a 50% mortality.” Paul argued that Fauci showed little worry about the experiments and their potential fallout. “He just thought it ought to be classified because he didn’t think the public should hear about this,” he added. The lawmaker said the research failed, noting the apes being tested died. Some of the apes who contracted the virus were given the vaccine and some weren’t, according to Paul. “The vaccine actually created a worse scenario for their (apes) lungs than the ones who weren’t vaccinated,” Paul explained. “All of them died. And I don’t think something that dangerous we should be trying to make more transmissible. I think it’s a big mistake, and we need to be reviewing all of this.”
