July 29, 2026, was a day of reckoning. Dr. Anthony Fauci, also nicknamed Dr. Death by his critics, appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. Subpoenaed by Committee Chairman Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) was asked to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth about his actions during the Covid 19 pandemic. Unfortunately, the American people got anything but that. Instead, Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment at least 111 times during the hearing.
Have you taken your place on the wall?
It’s Time to Come Clean
Sen. Rand Paul stated, “The American people deserve an apology. I hope today Dr. Fauci will come clean, admit it was a mistake to fund dangerous research in China…ask forgiveness…instead of an apology, you have for years avoided responsibility…officials across the country invoked your authority…and you presented your recommendations not as judgments open to debate, but as dictates of science itself…You did not tell the people the full story. One thing in public and another in private.”
Unfortunately, Dr. Fauci didn’t answer for his crimes. He didn’t say he was sorry. He didn’t ask for forgiveness. Sadly, this master of manipulation sat in his chair while lawmakers presented one smoking gun after another.
“On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution,” repeated the robotic and unashamed Fauci. Even when asked simple questions such as, “What color are you wearing?” or “What color is the carpet?” he repeated his mantra.
Government officials stressed that the Fifth Amendment no longer applied due to former President Biden’s blanket pardon, which shielded the discredited Covid czar from federal prosecution for his actions dating back to 2014. It was a moment in time to clear the air, but the incorrigible doctor refused to take responsibility.
Fauci’s silence didn’t hide the truth, however. Instead, it exposed and magnified his lies. The false narratives he worked so hard to create crumbled under the intense light of scrutiny. Credible testimony abounded in the hearing, but there were several people who put this doctor of deception in the hot seat.
A Sandwich of Aborted Baby Body Parts
Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa (R), who in 2021 was one of the first to question Fauci’s lie that Covid-19 did not have a lab origin, made the obstinate immunologist squirm when she described his involvement in grotesque experiments where aborted fetal cell tissue was used for Covid research.
She stated, “Dr. Fauci, we have learned that U.S. coronavirus researchers at UNC shipped ‘humanized or transgenic mice to China’ by around 2017 for use in their dangerous coronavirus work. Under your NIAID, coronavirus researchers also used aborted baby body parts in mice research, and taxpayers paid for them to do that. NIH-funded coronavirus researcher Dr. Ralph Baric and his colleagues at UNC put parts of livers, thymuses, and chunks of human fetal lungs that they got from aborted, almost five-month-old human babies–they put those parts in their research mice. They disgustingly named them BLT L mice and wrote that they had created a ‘sandwich’ of aborted body parts in the mice. Get it, folks? BLT–a BLT sandwich. Your RML lab employees in Montana also ordered and used aborted baby body parts in their taxpayer-funded research. Emails show how they planned to use those mice for post-COVID work. The NIH funded putting aborted babies’ fingers and scalps off the heads of aborted babies and putting them into the backs of research mice. The scalps later grew fine baby hair in the mice. They even included those disgusting photos in their research paper that you funded…thankfully, the current NIH director has said, ‘No more of this.’ Dr. Fauci, yes or no, do you think that human aborted parts should be put into mice for coronavirus research?”
Of course, Dr. Fauci would not answer the questions posed about his Frankenstein projects. But his silence reminded Americans that, like Dr. Frankenstein, who forfeited his reverence for the sanctity of human life, so too did this man, who refused to repent for the role he played.
Dr. Fauci’s Thirst for Power Exposed
Senator Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) unleashed what can only be described as a firebomb when he accused Dr. Fauci of behaving as if he were above the law. The emboldened lawmaker involved the audience by asking them to stand up if during the Covid pandemic they “were called a racist for calling the virus a Wuhan virus, or the China virus,” if they thought “the six-foot rule was total crap,” if they believed that “the vaccine wasn’t something you should take,” if they challenged the “outrageous way the mask policy was rolled out,” if they “were fired from their jobs for not taking the vaccine,” (including members of the military), or if they knew it was “catastrophically stupid” to close schools. Sen. Moreno implored the audience to stand if their resistance to Covid restrictions brought condemnation from so-called medical experts like Dr. Fauci and those who enforced his agenda.
A large number of audience members stood up. Sen. Moreno then asked Dr. Fauci to “look at the people who were absolutely shamed for saying what we know now to be the truth.”
Dr. Fauci refused to turn around and face the victims of his policies, but Sen. Moreno wasn’t surprised. He declared that the “megalomaniac” doctor was more interested in fame than the suffering of the American people. “It was about six years ago today that I decided I’m going to give up my businesses, sell them all, run for office, run for the U.S. Senate, and here I am sitting in front of you six years later…it is a total disgrace what you did to this country…there is no defense for what you did. You may have had a 50-plus year legacy of public service, but it ends in total and complete disgrace…Will you apologize, just apologize to the people you harmed through your actions…do you have the dignity to just say you’re sorry?”
Dr. Fauci pleaded the Fifth once again, turning his eyes away from the victims of his COVID schemes.
No Apologies from Fauci
Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL) wasn’t about to let Dr. Fauci off the hook. She tore into him, quoting from his recently released diary and explaining how his pseudo-scientific policies killed Americans and ruined lives.
She emphasized, “Many of you may remember I was the Attorney General in Florida who fought back against the lockdowns, the school closures, the church closures, everything to embrace sanity and science, we fought back, we got ridiculed for it…and we are now called the free state of Florida, and I believe our responsibility here is to make sure that government remembers that the people are our bosses, that we report to them, that we’re accountable to them….when evidence is uncertain, officials need to say so, when recommendations are based on assumptions, rather than hard data, they need to say so–so when they get something wrong they need to own it. And when the trust is lost, the consequences extend far beyond any single pandemic. The next time public health officials genuinely need Americans to listen, millions of people may simply ignore them or not believe them. Dr. Fauci, you were undeniably the face of the federal government’s Covid response. You said so yourself in your diary. You said it’s not hyperbole to say ‘I’ve become the most famous and talked about person in the country’…many recommendations and their accompanying mandates departed significantly from available research…we know that you knew it, because we have your diary entries…you called our governor, Governor DeSantis, and I’m going to quote this so I get it right, ‘a total jerk,’ that he was ‘a complete disgrace,’ that he was blocking federal authorities from mandating masks in various locations, including schools, and you were very concerned and upset that we were actively criticizing you…you feared because of that, because we were fighting back for the truth from our government.”
Sen. Moody stressed that Dr. Fauci’s public claims that “democracy was in danger” were simply because his authority was challenged by the people whose rights were violated.
As Sen Moody spoke, Dr. Fauci squirmed in his chair, but no acknowledgment came. No remorse. No regrets.
More evidence was presented. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis), who chaired several previous hearings to obtain justice for the vaccine-injured, pleaded with Dr. Fauci to do what was right–to admit that he purposefully gaslit the millions of citizens who were harmed. Yet Dr. Fauci pleaded the Fifth.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) reminded Dr. Fauci of how money and greed became his prize, rather than the health of the public. Sadly, while his proud face graced the cover of In Style magazine, the rest of the country languished under crushing Covid policies. Again, to this, Dr. Fauci muttered, “I plead the Fifth.”
One of the only Democratic senators who appeared to question Dr. Fauci’s Covid directives was Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who stated that he had “regrets” for having been “blinded” by the narrative that a lab-leak theory was nothing more than a “right-wing” idea. Did he get answers from the man once called “America’s doctor?” Not a chance.
What Will Happen to Fauci?
Will Dr. Fauci get away with his crimes? Senator Rand Paul said, “A pardon may protect a person from criminal prosecution. It doesn’t rewrite history. It does not erase documents. It does not convert a misleading statement into a truthful one. And it does not prevent Congress from establishing what happened.” Sen. Paul announced that he will seek contempt charges against Dr. Fauci.
Sen. Josh Hawley told Dr. Fauci, “You don’t have any rights under the Fifth Amendment because you have been pardoned, as you very well know. This is about contempt. Contempt for this body and contempt for the American people.”
God Is the Ultimate Judge
In the end, we know who the real judge is. The Lord knows every lie and every crime. In the heavenly court, Dr. Fauci is not getting away with anything. The hearing itself is an answer to prayer because this man still had to face his accusers and bear witness to their testimony. God will have the final verdict.
What’s in a Name?
The name Fauci derives from Italy and means sickle, or sickle maker. A person swings this curved blade through stalks of wheat or barley in order to harvest them. In biblical imagery, a sickle is sometimes used as a symbol of gathering or separating. The facts of what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic have been separated, gathered, and laid out before Dr. Fauci. He has a choice to respond. One path is denial and bondage, but the other is truth and freedom.
The Choice to Repent
Yes, Mr. Fauci can make the choice to repent and turn to Jesus. We should all be praying for this result. Additionally, we must pray that justice is served and that responsibility is taken by those who were involved in deceiving and harming the public.
Lord Jesus, we pray for Your mighty hand to guide our nation in all matters of truth and justice. We pray for Dr. Fauci to humble himself and repent for the actions he bears responsibility for. We pray for healing and restoration in our government and health agencies. From this point forward, may our leaders put our citizens’ well-being above fame, financial gain, and power. Lord, have mercy on our nation.
What do you think about Dr. Fauci’s unrepentant attitude? How can we pray about this issue going forward?
