Disclosure of Pandemic Links by Tulsi Gabbard

On her final day as Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard revealed previously undisclosed files that supposedly uncover the connections and cover-up involving Dr. Anthony Fauci and the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.

In a social media video, she indicated that her team had been working on the declassification for a year, sharing hundreds of emails from Fauci as part of her concluding act in this role.

According to Gabbard, Fauci held significant influence due to his close associations with the intelligence community. She outlined several key points:

• He directed funds towards gain-of-function research linked to the pharmaceutical industry’s quest for a universal vaccine.
• He urged intelligence agencies to endorse the idea that the virus originated naturally, possibly to obscure risky research practices.
• As the go-to expert on the pandemic, he leveraged every opportunity to spread misinformation and censorship amid the crisis.

“Before the pandemic, Dr. Fauci allocated millions from U.S. taxpayers for dangerous research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, considered by many to be the source of the lab leak that triggered the pandemic,” Gabbard stated.

“Today, on my last day, I will outline how Fauci collaborated with politicized leaders in intelligence to obscure his actions and the virus’s origins. We’re releasing new documents showcasing how they worked together to hide their involvement in funding this perilous research that led to catastrophic consequences,” she continued.

She emphasized that these files reveal how Fauci influenced intelligence assessments of COVID-19 and how he misled Congress in 2024 by denying any knowledge of discussions with intelligence officials about the virus.

Furthermore, Gabbard mentioned that her office had received testimonies from various whistleblowers claiming retaliation for challenging intelligence operations related to the virus’s origins. In one instance, a contractor faced termination after stepping forward as a whistleblower.

She characterized these actions as part of a broader trend of silencing dissent and burying the truth.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted significant suffering globally. After enduring years of lies and cover-ups, Americans deserve accountability and transparency,” Gabbard remarked. “These tactics resemble those employed by the deep state, and individuals like Dr. Fauci have undermined a duly elected president by manipulating information and lying to Congress.”

Gabbard had announced her departure in May, citing her husband’s battle with a rare form of bone cancer as her reason for prioritizing family. Following her exit, President Trump appointed Bill Peult as her successor.

In her final comments as DNI, Gabbard expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve the American people.
