I recommend watching the C-SPAN version because the news media versions edit out Rand Paul's arguments to make it look like Dr. Fauci was correct. They are lying to us, but you will not find the C-SPAN version if you google for it unless you specifically include the search term c-span.
Here are the clips from NBC News and CNN that edited out the first 2:34 of Rand Paul's argument that explains why he says the NIH funderd gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
CNN lying, saying that Fauci "excoriated" Paul which 80% of people probably think means he won the debate. Pathetic grasping for Fauci at the end.
