Fauci’s NIAID Hid Plans to Create Mutant Monkeypox Virus that ‘Could’ve Started Pandemic’
Meanwhile, officials are tracking a new strain of monkeypox causing miscarriages and spreading rapidly without sexual contact.
Former White House coronavirus advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci has certainly offered some illuminating information during recent congressional hearings.
Mary Chastain recently covered Fauci’s testimony that there was no science behind either pandemic policy recommendations regarding masking or social distancing.
Now a congressional report has revealed that Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) deceived Congress over its plans to create a Frankenstein monkeypox virus that had pandemic potential.
The blueprint to create a mutant Mpox virus raised major concerns among experts and led to an investigation by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which released the results from its year-and-a-half probe this week.
The report said the HHS, NIAID and NIH repeatedly ‘obstructed and misled the committee’ about whether the risky experiments had been approved and conducted, describing their cooperation with the probe as ‘unacceptable and potentially criminal.’
Investigators added: ‘HHS and the NIH repeatedly told the Committee the… experiments had not been “formally proposed” or “planned,” had never been approved or conducted, and were not currently under consideration.
‘[These] repeated assertions were false.’
They also said NIAID, a branch of the NIH, should not be trusted to carry out this type of research: ‘The primary conclusion drawn at this point in the investigation is that NIAID cannot be trusted to oversee its own research of pathogens responsibly.
Legal Insurrection readers may recall my previous discussions on the types of monkeypox strains. Clade I causes severe illness and has killed up to 11 percent of people in previous outbreaks, which has been reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Clad II, which is the type that caused the global outbreak in 2022, is more transmissible but less severe and nearly 100 percent of people survive.
You won’t believe what some scientists proposed to do.
In October 2022, a team of government scientists wanted to insert genes from the more dangerous Clade I Mpox into Clade II, making a hybrid strain that could have been both more lethal and more contagious.
Investigators said this would be classified as gain-of-function, which is research that can result in deadlier and more transmissible viruses and is feared to be behind the creation of Covid.
It was estimated the new Mpox virus would have had a fatality rate of up to 15 percent and a reproductive rate of 2.4, meaning one sick person could infect more than two other people.
At this rate, the hybrid strain would have had pandemic potential.
The real question is whether scientists have actually completed these experiments.
Disturbingly, news is now breaking about a mutant variant, clade 1b, which is described as “undoubtedly the most dangerous strain of mpox yet.”
First identified in February in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the virus is behaving “extremely” differently to clades 1 and 2 of mpox – the latter of which exploded internationally in 2022, primarily amongst gay men.
The new strain of the virus does not require sexual contact to spread.
On a Zoom call with journalists on Tuesday, the researchers confirmed that clade 1b is spreading through touch, something which is “incredibly worrying,” according to Prof Lang.
It was spreading mother to child, as well as in schools and workplaces, they said.
Presentation of the diseases also differs markedly from previous stains.
The virus had caused an “alarming” number of miscarriages in young women, said the researchers, and the lesions and blistering it causes were spread across the entire body, rather than confined to the genital area.
This is the same strain I reported on in April. It appears that there has been no let-up in the infections, and officials continue to monitor the outbreak. Cases have been reported in cities bordering the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, and Uganda.

Not to worry, these guys are from the gov’t so they’re just here to ‘help’.
The most terrifying words are, ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.’
Wonderful. Just wonderful.
NIAID probably has experiments up and running on Clade 1b as we speak.
If not, they’re only delayed till next week.
They will have to get it here before the election, unless a human transmissible variant of Bird Flu does that first.
Making it easily transmissible other than through buggery was a noble DEI initiative. Having it predominantly afflict gay men is discriminatory.
I wonder how much they intend to make in royalties from a monkey pox vaccine at the same time they create the need for a vaccine.
Maybe gain-of-function is really about gain-of-wallet.
Maybe the research that’s needed isn’t vaccine investigation but criminal wrongdoing investigation.
Once Trump is in the White House again, we should offer these bureaucrats a choice between prison and volunteering for a pharmaceutical trial. The study I have in mind would be to determine whether injecting health bureaucrats with bleach sanitizes those bureaucrats, or sanitizes the country of those bureaucrats.
Hold up a minute. Is it no longer contested that the recent monkeypox scare was caused by an STD? Does that mean there will be investigations into the children that it? Or the pets?
They’ve been creating biological weapons. And releasing them for political gain. SPECTRE level stuff.
Prosecute the hell out of the lot of them and throw away the key.
Better to remove the need for a key.
With our court system? I’m more thinking v16i1@te jus twice type goings-on.
Why is this asshole still walking free?
Because his team owns the levers of power.
Will no one rid us of this foul troll?
He likely has a very good SS detail.
I’m sure he does. He’s been performing experiments on humans like he’s a true member of the SS.
Seriously though, how do you pick a detail to give protection to one of the most hated men on earth? Who would risk his own life to protect Fauci? I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire.
I suspect he more likely gets the rejects that they can’t send to Thule because there’s nobody important there to protect.
Maybe because Trump thought he was so great that Trump awarded him with a Presidential Commendation.
I suspect a good dose of Mpox Clade 1b will cure your TDS, Junior.
“The virus had caused an “alarming” number of miscarriages in young women”
Those women live in the Democratic Republic of Congo?
Damn, the Democrats own that, too?
I’m a physician scientist. I’ve done cell/molecular biology in my lab. I’m familiar with the required technology though I’ve never done ‘gain of function’ tests, and I don’t work with viruses. I’ve been funded by NIAID for my work. I do have a simple question —
— why?
Why on earth would you do gain of function research with Mpox, or any other pathogenic virus? Don’t hand me the eyewash about how we’ll learn more about how infectious the virus is, or mechanisms of action, etc. We can learn those things without inserting genes into a virus that makes it more lethal and/or more transmissible.
Why are we doing this? I’d like to be the Senator or Representative given 15 minutes to grill Dr. Fauci under oath. Unless the other politicians, I know what questions to ask, starting with the ones above.
Sadly…you already know why. The answer just sucks.
Why?
Man desires his own understanding, to convince himself that he is supreme.
Any challenges are heresy.
There is nothing wrong with inquisitivity, but it has moral boundaries.
If it’s not being done to create weapons, massive amounts of hubris are the force behind the research – the belief that you’re too good to have a lab accident, that your facility is the best in the world and nothing can get out.
Why does Fauci belong to a group of people who believe the earth is overpopulated?
So does Billy Boy Gates. His parents were eugenecists, but they obviously didn’t practice what they preach. Their type never do; eugenics is meant to get rid of “undesirables,” or “deplorables” as they are called nowadays.
Why do you think Billy Boy wants you to eat bugs and drink poop water? Why do you think he pushes “vaccines” on third world countries?
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
And don’t forget the fake meat push as well as the latest Frankenfood…”safe to eat” coatings that supposedly give produce a longer shelf life but apparently turns them into rubberized “food.”
I am not a physician but my understanding about a rationale for gain-of-function research is that it goes something like this: We need to modify animal viruses to anticipate effects in humans and develop vaccines. There are a number of problems with this line of reasoning. Foremost of which is the shear number of potential viruses and mutants. The development and storage of vaccines would be a phenomenally expensive proposition. Now with the demonstration of the remarkable rapid development of targeted mRNA vaccines, this argument should no longer be accepted. Gain of function research should be stopped or if deemed necessary much more stringent accountability should be imposed.
Why? Because despite all declarations to the contrary, the United States is still engaged in bio-weapons research. They just renamed it “Gain of Function” but when it comes right down to it the research they are engaged in is bio-weapons research whose goal is to produce even deadlier diseases than nature can produce.
“I do have a simple question —
— why?
We all know why.
Fauci has a date with the Devil someday
Not soon enough
A relevant article is “What did COVID-19 really teach us about science, evidence and society?” (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/371369348_What_did_COVID-19_really_teach_us_about_science_evidence_and_society). One of its many quotable passages is
“[A]dd the uncertain but plausible possibility that COVID‐19 was itself the product of biomedical science, and an apparently outrageous consequence becomes inescapable: science itself may have become a threat to overall population health.”
It also demonstrated how big a % of the population would act like brainless lemmings and just meekly go along with whatever the gov’t was putting out instead of retaining a healthy degree of skepticism that the folks who run the DMV, the Post Office, disastrous forever wars and can’t get pot holes fixed would somehow manage to ‘solve’ a problem without making the cure more catastrophic than the problem.
It’s really not THAT outrageous. The nuclear bomb was science.
Thus guy should be tried for crimes against humanity.
Then so should Trump, because Trump thought he was so great that he awarded Fauci with a Presidential Commendation.
But that would be like consigning the Professor to a home for mental deficients simply because he still lets you post here.
Henry has you figured out, Junior.
Probably time for you to go post somewhere else.
Perhaps DU will put up with your anti-Trump fetish.
That certainly raises the suspicion that Clade 1b is the mutant monkeypox strain, released into the wild as both experiment and to drum up support for more rounds of lockdowns and vaccine mandates that didn’t materialize during the first round of monkeypox outbreaks. If it succeeds at that there is incentive for continuous releases of what are basically bioweapons to engineer a continuous state of fear and lockdown.
