Last
year, ICAN made FOIA requests to NIH for documents regarding COVID-19,
including two requests for Anthony Fauci’s emails. ICAN has received
nearly 3,000 emails sent by Fauci from early February 2020 through May
2020. Read what Fauci was saying privately about masks, therapeutics,
vaccines, ventilators, and many other COVID-19 topics. On April 10, 2020 and May 5, 2020, respectively, ICAN submitted the following two FOIA requests: · All emails
sent by Anthony Fauci between November 1, 2019 and the present that
include the term Moderna or mRNA-1273 in any portion of the email. · All emails
sent by Anthony Fauci between November 1, 2019 and the present that
include the terms SARS-CoV, COVID, COVID-19, or coronavirus in any
portion of the email. When NIH failed to respond to those requests, ICAN brought a lawsuit
against the agency on June 29, 2020. In response, NIH agreed to
produce Fauci’s emails on a rolling basis. To date, we have received
2,957 pages of Fauci’s sent emails dated between early February 2020
through May 2020 and will continue to receive email productions on a
rolling basis. Read Fauci’s emails here and a few highlights from these emails are outlined below: - February
5-6, 2020 (000239) – Fauci asked to recommend names for WHO group with
the broad mission to “look at the origins and evolution of 2019n-CoV.”
Fauci responds by seeking to reframe the mission in a manner that would
only look for natural and not lab made origin.
- February
7, 2020 (000189) - Fauci sent an internal NIAID communication
reflecting that it was unlikely that the SARS-CoV-2 virus originated in a
wet market.
- February
16, 2020 (000447) – Fauci tells CBS reporter that if the mortality
turns out to be 0.2% to 0.4%, then SARS-CoV-2 should be treated like a
severe seasonal flu. But when the case fatality rate was later revised
to between 0.2% and 0.4% by the CDC, Fauci continued to act as if the
virus was something far more dangerous.
- February
17, 2020 (000422) – Fauci receives communication from a Chinese citizen
that is part of an international student program in the United States
stating that, based on his contacts back in Wuhan, including
correspondence from a nurse working in a Wuhan hospital, there is far
more spread of the virus and far more deaths than China is admitting.
- February
21, 2020 (000300) – Fauci asks a Deputy Director at NIAID to “Please
handle” an email received by a group of doctors and scientists,
including a virologist, that opined that “we think there is a
possibility that the virus was released from a lab in wuhan (sic).”
- February
23, 2020 (000257) – Fauci states “Transmission is definitely by
respiratory droplet” and that “Children have very low rate of
infection.”
- February
22, 2020 (000274-277) – Fauci confirms that “The vast majority of
people outside of China do not need to wear a mask. A mask is more
appropriate for someone who is infected than for people trying to
protect against infection.”
- February
27, 2020 (000649) – Fauci tells Morgan Fairchild to tell her followers
to be ready for “social distancing, teleworking, temporary closure of
schools, etc.”
- February
28, 2020 (001054) – Fauci, while uncertain what animal may have served
as the intermediary jump from bats to humans for SARS-CoV-2, keeps
repeating the narrative that it was a jump from bats through some
natural non-lab means that was the origin of the virus.
- February
28, 2020 (001059) – Fauci giving personal update to Mark Zuckerberg
regarding developing a COVID-19 vaccine including telling Zuckerberg
that “We may need help with resources” and that if there is a delay in
the development timeline he just told Zuckerberg about, “I will contact
you.”
- March
1, 2020 (000922) – CBS’s Chief Medical Correspondent, seeking to please
Fauci, emails Fauci a link to his segment which he appears to repeat
what Fauci has told him, including that face masks “may give some
partial protection by catching droplets containing virus but the virus
is so tiny the virus can go right through it or around it” and
describing the origin of the virus as “jumping from animals to people.”
Fauci responds with “Outstanding!!” apparently pleased that CBS pushed
Fauci’s narrative that the virus was a natural jump from bats to humans.
- March 1, 2020 (000937) – Despite media reports, Fauci makes it crystal clear he was not being muzzled by the White House.
- March
16, 2020 (001554) – Fauci is asked “Given the relative safety of all
but the elderly and those whose immune systems are compromised, and that
they are far fewer than the rest of the population, why not quarantine
only them?” and responds by stating “Stay tuned.”
- March
17, 2020 (001537) – The next day, it does not appear Fauci intends to
change his tune of pushing everyone, even healthy people with low risk
of the virus, to give up all civil liberties and remain prisoners in
their home, as reflecting in an email exchange between Fauci and Mark
Zuckerberg, in which they share mobile numbers and plan to coordinate
efforts to get people to comply with Fauci’s messaging, including social
distancing for everyone, but the details of their plan are not included
in the email exchange.
- March
31, 2020 (001816) – Fauci receives a summary from his agency of the
studies regarding how effective masks are to preventing the virus and
the conclusion is as follows: “Bottom line: generally there were not
differences in ILI/URI/or flu rates when masks were used.”
- April
2, 2020 (001778) – Fauci and Bill Gates have phone call where they
agreed to a “collaborative” and “synergistic approach to COVID-19 on the
part of NIAID/NIH, BARDS and the BMGF (Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation).” It is concerning that one private person, Bill Gates, and
his organization, BMGF, can exert that much behind-the-scenes influence
on decisions that will impact the civil rights of all Americans during
the pandemic.
- April
8, 2020 (002351-2352) – Fauci, rejects most requests for calls, but
accepts without any questions a request to arrange a call with the CEO
of a Lilly, a major pharmaceutical company.
- April
11, 2020 (002263-2264) – While Fauci claimed to have little time for
anything else, Fauci confirmed the continued filming of “a film that
will celebrate the importance of your [Fauci’s] life, science and public
health” including filming during his “drive to NIH … once or twice a
week,” “capture your working/appropriate conversations,” and “work on
the Task Force.”
- April 12, 2020 (002229) – Fauci writes “Many tests that have been used thus far are not accurate and ARE MISLEADING.”
- April 16, 2020 (002142) – Fauci advises that even in the health care setting the mask policy should remain “voluntary.”
- April
20, 2020 (002548-2549) – A Washington Post reporter contacts Katie
Miller at NIAID for copies of article that Fauci stated are proof that
the virus originated by natural means rather than being developed in a
lab. Instead of letting Katie Miller or someone on his staff respond,
Fauci, who stated he gets 1,000 or 2,000 emails per day and only has
time to respond to a tiny number of these emails, personally responds to
the Washington Post reporter (who did not even write to Fauci) with the
copies of the studies.
- April
22, 2020 (002471-2472) – The National Academy of Science representative
confirming to Dr. Francis Collins, head of NIH, that “WHO, Gates
Foundation and European Commission have been leading and planning” the
“global coordinating effort to accelerate vaccines, diagnostics and
therapeutics” and that “there will be an announcement on the global
structure with will [sic] involve Gates, WHO etc.” and Fauci explains in
an email that “we have Gates reps on our ACTIV (Accelerating COVID-19
Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines) working groups.” Why is an
unelected individual with his own private interests getting this
incredible level of influence over decisions that will affect the
freedoms and liberties of everyday Americans?
- April
27, 2020 (002910) – Fauci appears to dismiss potential live saving
treatment. Fauci receives a report from the Chief, Section of Viral
Pathogenesis at NIAID, Dr. Paolo Lussa, that “they treated a first group
of five patients with potent anti-aggregant therapy
(Tirofiban/Aggrastat) and apparently in all of them the p02 started to
rise within less than 2 hours, they got off the ventilator and went on
to full recovery.” In response to this incredible news, Fauci merely
writes “Thanks, Paolo.” Apart from pushing Remdesivir, made by Gilead, a
company with which Fauci has deep and long-standing connections,
Fauci’s response to Dr. Lussa accords with his otherwise singular focus
on developing and pushing a vaccine.
- May
1, 2020 (002838) – While pushing one narrative regarding ventilators
publicly, Fauci writes in a private email that “You are correct in that
there is a more recent tendency to use ventilators only as a very last
resort since oxygenation rather than ventilation appears to be key to
recovery.”
