Fauci Accused of Attempting to Destroy Gain-of-Function Research Email

  • In 2012, Anthony Fauci instructed a subordinate at the NIH to delete an email concerning criticism of gain-of-function research and to remove it from the deleted folder, which could violate federal record-keeping laws.
  • The email concerned criticism from journalist Phil Boffey regarding risky viral experiments funded by the NIH, which Fauci defended and sought to suppress.
  • Fauci and NIH officials supported publishing controversial research by Dutch virologist Ron Fouchier that made an airborne H5N1 bird flu virus transmissible, despite biosecurity concerns.
  • Fauci denied under oath in 2024 that he ever deleted official records, but these emails add to evidence challenging that testimony.
