We at RedState have long said that when Dr. Anthony Fauci testified to Sen. Rand Paul about
the US government’s supposed non-involvement in gain of function research in Wuhan (and
funding thereof) that he lied, and now documents from the Defense Advanced Projects
Research Agency (DARPA) bear that out.

Project Veritas released documents Monday night “regarding the origins of COVID-19, gain of
function research, vaccines, potential treatments which have been suppressed, and the
government’s effort to conceal all of this.”

Military Documents about Gain of Function contradict Fauci testimony under oat…
oat…

One of the documents Project Veritas obtained was a report to the Inspector General of the
Department of Defense written by U.S. Marine Corp Major Joseph Murphy, a former DARPA
Fellow.

The report states that EcoHealth Alliance approached DARPA in March 2018,

seeking funding to conduct gain of function research of bat borne coronaviruses.
The proposal, named Project Defuse, was rejected by DARPA over safety

concerns and the notion that it violates the basis gain of function research
moratorium.

According to the documents, NIAID, under the direction of Dr. Fauci, went ahead
with the research in Wuhan, China and at several sites across the U.S.

Dr. Fauci has repeatedly maintained, under oath, that the NIH and NAIAD have not
been involved in gain of function research with the EcoHealth Alliance program.
But according to the documents obtained by Project Veritas which outline why
EcoHealth Alliance’s proposal was rejected, DARPA certainly classified the
research as gain of function.

“The proposal does not mention or assess potential risks of Gain of Function (GoF)
research,” a direct quote from the DARPA rejection letter.

Major Murphy’s report goes on to detail great concern over the COVID-19 gain of
function program, the concealment of documents, the suppression of potential
curatives, like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, and the mRNA vaccines.

Murphy would not comment on the report’s contents when reached by Project Veritas, but
issued a brief statement:

I offer no comment on the investigation or internal Marine Corps deliberations. I

offer a brief comment to those that desire answers and to those that withhold them.

To those seeking answers, I offer encouragement. There are good people striving
for the truth working together in and out of government, and they succeed.

To those that withhold, I pray for you. Find the moral courage to come forward.
Don’t let a lie be our legacy to posterity. People will forgive. A commitment to truth
is in the heart of this nation.

Semper Fi.

Ending the video, O’Keefe asked, “Who at DARPA made the decision to bury the original report?
They could have raised red flags to the Pentagon, the White House, or Congress, which may
have prevented this entire pandemic that has led to the deaths of 5.4 million people worldwide
and caused much pain and suffering to many millions more.”
