While this could be based on bad faith we cannot deny how a cover up was happening, and how mishandling of the pandemic caused more death.
It was very clear how this was being studied actively in a poorly protected lab, and highly possible that it could a soptage event or an accedident. Yet they continue to dismmiss these suggestions as being lies and conspiracy theory.
I recall posting published academic papers from the lab around October before the cases start coming up discussing continuing research of the virus and getting banned on Reddit. That how crazy it was.
People also need to question how senior homes were mismanaged that causes unnecessary deaths/murder due to neglect.
Same with Nurses and medical staff who suffer due to lack of organization and oversight.
Also for vaccine, in a capitalist society that values money over anything else, after a major event like that, there should be national committee in every country investigating CEO and major shareholder and any communication between any parties that made tons of money.
Assuming Fauci is innocent just because Republicans are the one going after him is stupid. The two party system should be able to hold each other accountable. If he didn't want to handle the investigation, he should have quit, taking the position comes with risks of being investigated for mishandling of situations and he should be ready for it.
The main problem here, is that, while Republicans doing their job, even as misdirection or in bad faith, the Democrats are not holding Republicans to the same standards, best they do is continuing where the Republican left.
So yes this is good to see and hope more details comes out.
Because at this point, as far as I can tell, this is still just baseless speculation. It could have been that, but it could have been aliens, we don't have any actual evidence to base any of it on, hence it being easy to dismiss as a conspiracy theory.
Yes, this is every damn day. Before COVID, during the height of the pandemic, and every day since. None of that is particularly relevant to COVID, Fauci, or vaccines. Profit seeking interests preying on the weak without sufficient repurcussions.
We presume innocence because not one bit of evidence has been presented. Like this accusation that we should have just all gotten infected because 'everyone knew' that was better than getting vaccinated. Which goes against mountains of evidence showing that people were way better off with the vaccinne, with the most 'damming' credible outcome being that maybe it was a waste of time for people under 20, but only evident with hindsight.
The problem is simply that the pandemic was an embarrassment for Trump, and would have been even if he handled everything right (which he didn't), but they need to scapegoat someone so they scapegoat Fauci for no apparent reason.

I think these three points are not baseless. Now we add other points:
I think these are not baseless suggestions.
Fauci is definitely innocent. Not sure where you even find grounds to argue that.
I agree with a lot of what you say but acting like fauci is cobra commander or something and controls all these strings is nuts. I think it was something like 50,000 a year for 8 years that went towards this specific lab which fauci had the authority to apply alongside a ton of other labs.
