STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- During a February 4, 2022, interview with Time magazine, former National Institutes of Health director Francis Collins blamed me for the government’s inability to bring the COVID pandemic to a close
- Collins also, in apparent confusion, misidentified me as the inventor of the mRNA vaccine
- It seems Collins is desperately trying to deflect from the NIH’s involvement in the pandemic. From the start, Collins denied the possibility of a lab leak, even though most of the evidence pointed straight in that direction
- Collins has also denied that the NIH funded risky gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, despite documented evidence of such funding
- For now, Collins appears to be protected by political powers, including the Department of Homeland Security, which recently labeled free speech as domestic terrorism and criminalized truth telling. According to the DHS, people who “undermine public trust in government institutions” are the primary “threat actors”
