Even though Dr. Anthony Fauci has generally avoided all of the consequences his critics say are appropriate for his role in the COVID-19 response, one of his fiercest detractors made it clear that he’s not giving up on justice.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) spoke out recently about what the future holds for Fauci on Capitol Hill, signaling that something big might still be just around the corner.
Fox News provided this report:
“David Morens, Dr. Fauci’s top advisor, was indicted, but Fauci himself still walks free,” Paul, who has long pressed Fauci in heated exchanges in congressional hearings, wrote this week on X, continuing his urging of the Justice Department to pick up charges from his criminal referral despite former President Joe Biden issuing a sweeping preemptive pardon of Fauci on his last night in office Jan. 19, 2025.
“The DOJ has 5 days to indict Fauci before the statute of limitations runs out. The clock is ticking. Justice cannot wait.”
The Biden pardon and Fauci’s statute of limitations expiration Monday shields the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and chief medical advisor to Biden, but Morens was indicted late last month for having “deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID-19.”
“For years, I warned that Fauci and his inner circle buried the truth about Wuhan,” Paul wrote Wednesday on X. “Now his closest adviser has been indicted.
“Fauci lied to Congress under oath. The statute of limitations expires in 5 days. Will the DOJ finally indict Fauci?”
His latest posts clearly resonate with many Americans who are similarly hoping to see Fauci held accountable:
Please don’t stop until people are held responsible for this huge fraud that has had devastating physical and emotional consequences in this country. I appreciate all you are doing!

Plenty of others, however, are more than skeptical that anything substantial will result:
so will there be no conmpensation for ppl like me who were mandated to get the vax then my Dr informed me it caused a deadly heart disease I live in poverty and elderly – guess govt plans on just letting me drop dead of heart disease

So what you’re saying is, our elected representatives are ineffective and are just for show. We the people have no voice, or true representation within the administration, regardless of which political party is currently in charge. Good to know.

Here’s what The Hill reported on Paul’s prior remarks last week:
“6 days from now, on May 11th, the statute of limitations expires on the possibility of indicting Anthony Fauci for denying under oath that he funded gain-of-function research involving bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, the origin city of the pandemic,” Paul wrote on social media.
