    That is one very smug bureaucrat. She makes my blood boil!
  • @expsterm1
    Senator Paul's demeanor is admirable. He is both calm and direct and so intelligent.
  • @lindathomas2408
    Dr Fauci’s wife’s name is Christine Grady. She is the Head of the Bioethics DEPARTMENT at the NIH. Let’s put her on the stand. So Much Respect Senator Paul. Fantastic you are also a Medical Doctor. America’s got your 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
  • The arrogance of this woman is only surpassed by Faucci's. Where do these people come from?
  • @IzzyLett
    Thank you Rand, for continuing to fight for justice!, Thanks, Forbes, for covering this.
  • @ls-kk4pq
    What saddens me is that all of this corruption, destroyed lives, families, jobs, careers, and more. And they don’t care.
  • @user-kr6tk9vg3o
    Caught with their pants down and sit there answering dishonestly with arrogance. Gain of function should NEVER BE ALLOWED PERIOD! Yet it STILL goes on. Corruption knows no bounds. DISGUSTING AND DEPLAURABLE👎👎
  • It's disgusting and infuriating how she can smile all the way through this like she knows nothing will happen to her... and unfortunately it probably won't.
  • @philipswain4122
    The woman should be investigated further. Her patronizing tone and smugness is reprehensible.
  • @WeepTheGreed
    This lady has been told she is untouchable and she believes it.
  • @edwhite7457
    Paul has been right about this issue from the very beginning.
  • @ravenhawk9069
    Sad that there is no accountability for these liars and until there is it will just continue
  • @beetalius
    You can tell from her smug look that she's lying and knows that even if she gets caught, she's a good Party member and the DOJ won't lift a finger to hold her accountable.
  • @MFJoneser
    Looking into her eyes is absolutely terrifying.

    I have permanent lung disease from Covid and physical damage to both hips due to the medication I had to take to save my life. I had a great nursing job and wore my mask, washed my hands etc.. I am living on disability now. Someone should be responsible for the damages to all who lost their livelihood due to the NIH negligence.
