After Fauci hearing, Key Lawmaker suggests it’s time to end royalties for federal scientists

Ohio Congressman Brad Wenstrup takes a swipe at Anthony Fauci over royalty payments and says he’s not sure it was former NIAID director’s job was to assume authority over COVID pandemic rules. “I think social distancing made sense. We always try to stay away from infectious people as best we can. That’s like a common rule, even with the cold. But to say this was a distance that was required, and no science behind it and not tell the American people there wasn’t science behind it is wrong,” he says. “Because remember, at one point he said ‘everything I've been telling you has been based on science.’” Additional interview with House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith on seeking a criminal referral against Hunter Biden for allegedly lying to Congress during President Joe Biden’s impeachment inquiry.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
