During a Senate committee hearing on the government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Senator Rand Paul had a heated exchange with Fauci accusing Paul of “distorting everything about me” after the Republican from Kentucky accused Fauci of organizing a smear campaign to denounce conservative academics who had opposed shutdown measures in 2020.
Paul used a series of emails sent by Fauci as proof of the orchestrated effort, but the emails showed Fauci sending his colleagues a link to a Wired article that disproved claims on achieving “herd immunity.”
