J<\/span>oe Biden pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci without indicating any crime the longtime National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)\u00a0committed. On July 29, before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Dr. Fauci refused to answer any questions and took the\u00a0Fifth Amendment more than 100 times.<\/p>\n

Last month, Dr. Fauci\u00a0refused another request to testify, but as Congress should know, his equivalent remains available. Dr. Anne Schuchat served as acting director of the Centers for Disease Control from January 20 to July 7, 2017, and January 31 to March 26 in 2018.\u00a0(RELATED: Was Anthony Fauci Too Powerful?)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s our Anthony Fauci,\u201d said CDC Chief Operating Officer Sherri Berger, and according to Dr. Fauci, Schuchat has \u201cshown great consistency, a high level of competence and integrity, and has been an anchor at the CDC.\u201d As acting director, Schuchat said her role was to ensure that \u201cwe follow the highest quality standards to fulfill our pledge to the American people.\u201d There\u2019s more about the CDC\u2019s own Fauci that Congress and the people should know. (RELATED: Fifth Amendment Fauci\u2019s Narcissism Destroyed Faith in Scientific Methodology)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Schuchat earned a BA from Swarthmore and an MD from Dartmouth Medical School. She\u00a0began her career with the CDC\u2019s\u00a0Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS), a legion of disease detectives tasked to prevent epidemics from arriving in America. The vaunted EIS was also the entry point for Dr. Nancy Messonnier, Schuchat\u2019s colleague in the CDC\u2019s\u00a0National Center for\u00a0Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD).<\/p>\n

Dr. Messonnier was the government\u2019s first spokesperson on COVID. In early 2020, out of the public eye, Dr. Messonnier\u2019s series of telephone briefings set forth everything Dr. Fauci would say. The \u201cnovel coronavirus\u201d emerged from a \u201cmarket\u201d in Wuhan. There was no immunity for the new virus, which would spread rapidly. Schools and businesses would have to be shut down, and so forth. (Note: links to the telebriefings in this article have since been archived by the CDC.)<\/p>\n

The CDC had a team in China, Dr. Messonnier told reporters, but she was \u201cnot at liberty\u201d to speak about travel to the United States from Wuhan. Reporters got no explanation of who, exactly, was laying down the rules. In May of 2021, Dr. Messonnier suddenly resigned from the CDC\u00a0and took a position with\u00a0the\u00a0Skoll Foundation. Her COVID performance had not been forgotten.<\/p>\n

On October 8, 2021, the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis , who was not sworn in but warned that false statements would lead to \u201ccriminal prosecution.\u201d The subcommittee wanted to know if, as COVID spokesperson, Dr. Messonnier experienced any interference from the Trump administration. Messonnier, accompanied by lawyers, said the administration had not interfered. On the other hand, the former CDC official provided other revelations the subcommittee failed to pursue.<\/p>\n

Messonnier began her career with the CDC\u2019s Epidemic Intelligence Service. Her 2020 telebriefings were carefully scripted by a \u201ccommunications team\u201d of Dan Jernigan, Jay Butler and Anne Schuchat, all veterans of the EIS. At the time, Schuchat was principal deputy director of the CDC and believed to be the prime candidate to direct the agency. So it came as a surprise that in May of 2021, the same month as Messonnier left, Dr. Schuchat suddenly resigned from the CDC.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a long and fulfilling career in public health, infectious diseases, and epidemiology, it is\u00a0the time for me to smell some roses,\u201d Dr. Schuchat told reporters, but there was probably more to it. Schuchat had been the CDC\u2019s Anthony Fauci, but unlike the NIAID boss, doctors Schuchat and Messonnier received no presidential pardon.\u00a0(RELATED: Anthony Fauci\u2019s Biggest Defender? Why Critics Are Scrutinizing Christine Grady)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Senator Rand Paul, who first referred Dr. Fauci to the Department of Justice, should now subpoena Schuchat, who currently sits on the boards of Swarthmore College and Gavi: The Vaccine Alliance. Dr Messonnier may be found at the\u00a0Gillings School of Public Health. The CDC and EIS veterans should testify under oath and in public.<\/p>\n

Were the Epidemic Intelligence Service veterans aware that Dr. Fauci funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology to perform gain-of-function research? What did the EIS officers know about the origin of COVID, and when did they know it?<\/p>\n

Was anybody in the EIS or CDC disciplined, demoted, or dismissed for the failure to stop the COVID virus from arriving in America? Who told Dr. Messonnier she was \u201cnot at liberty\u201d to talk about travel from Wuhan? Why did CDC Director Robert Redfield, who saw evidence of a laboratory origin, receive death threats?<\/p>\n

And so on, all of great interest to the American people. If nobody is held accountable for COVID, that\u2019s a loss for the people and a win for white coat supremacy.<\/p>\n
