In another indication of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s ethos of clandestineness, newly released memos show his private concern over Army biodefense experiments with Ebola and their results, which he was vexed that this would do away with public trust in vaccines.
Fauci’s fears precluded the COVID lockdown by almost four years. Ebola is not only deadly, but reports show a death rate 50 times that of COVID, according to a story by Just the News.
The Dr. alerted in private when he discovered the U.S. Army had conducted an experiment a decade ago that aerosolized the lethal Ebola virus, which is not normally transmitted by air, and then shared the results publicly amid an ongoing outbreak in Africa, according to diary entries obtained by Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul.
Fauci, who was then the top brass scientist at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease was especially vexed in 2016 that the Army medical research arm’s experiment seemed to show that exposure to aerosolized Ebola caused more damaging effects in subjects that had been vaccinated. This was almost four years prior to him campaigning to lock down the U.S. economy and social life over the COVID-19 virus outbreak.
In his diary, Fauci wrote he believed such research should be kept cloak-and-dagger, preferably classified, so that it didn’t weaken public confidence in vaccination in the African countries suffering an outbreak of the virus.
“What idiots those guys at USAMRIID [U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases] are,” Fauci wrote in a March 2016 diary entry. “This should have been a classified experiment that never should have been done in the first place.”

– US government funded high risk experiments during Obama Administration
– One example: Aerosolizing Ebola virus
– Fauci and others appear to abuse "classification" authority to bury high risk projects and data

He added, “Now I have to speak with the NSC [National Security Council] from the SKIF [sic] tomorrow to pick up the doo-doo and explain why this is an irrelevant experiment.” Fauci was likely referring to a “SCIF” which is a room designed to prevent leaked electronic communications.
According to the Just the News story, Fauci’s diary shows that this is the latest evidence to chronicle how widespread dangerous U.S. research on viruses has become, following revelations earlier this year from the Director of National Intelligence that the U.S. has funded scores of pathogen labs across the globe, including in war zones.
President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order mostly banning gain-of-function research that enhances viruses to make them more deadly to humans.
Paul told Just the News he believed the new diary entries reveal an effort by the federal government to hide dangerous research rather than stop it.
