Dr. Anthony Fauci testified before a Republican-led House panel Monday over the possible origins of COVID-19 and alleged misconduct under his leadership throughout the pandemic.
Fauci, 82, became a household name during the pandemic as the nation’s top infectious disease expert but retired in December 2022 after a five-decade career with the National Institutes of Health. Republicans have continued to criticize his response to the pandemic and questioned whether COVID-19 arose naturally or if U.S.-funded lab research in China could have been responsible for the outbreak.
Marjorie Taylor Greene and other subcommittee members grilled Fauci with questions regarding social distancing during the pandemic, face mask recommendations, vaccine recommendations, and more.
