Original Note:
Fauci was pardoned over republicans falsely claiming he funded research that caused the pandemic. https://www.statnews.com/2025/01/20/anthony-fauci-biden-preemptive-pardon-covid-pandemic-targeted-by-maga/ A report from the OIG of the DHS in 2023 criticized the NIH's oversight of its grants, but it did not conclude that Fauci outsourced gain-of-function experiments. https://www.oversight.gov/sites/default/files/documents/reports/2023-06/spring-sar-2023.pdf
