WASHINGTON — Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci enlisted the help of “media friends” and former President Barack Obama to beat back allegations in 2021 that his agency funded painful experiments on beagle puppies who were later euthanized, according to records recently released by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
The diary entries that Fauci made in that year about the so-called “Beaglegate” scandal show he used his allies in the media and politics to respond to attacks over the NIAID-funded study — despite publicly denying his agency approved the dog experiments at the time.
