Before we dive into the substance of the accusations thrown and assertions made by Dr. Kadlac regarding his longstanding close colleague Dr. Fauci, allow me a moment to introduce Dr. Kadlac, who is one particularly stereotypic example of the deep state intelligence community denizens who have haunted the US "Biodefense" Enterprise for decades.
"Dr. Russell became Commandant of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, where he conducted laboratory and clinical research on viral and parasitic diseases; his work contributed to the development of vaccines for adenovirus, meningitis and hepatitis A and B. After retiring from the military, Dr. Russell became professor of international health at Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health." In my experience, "Bob" Kadlac is relatively quiet and circumspect but quite willing to invoke the Lord God during public presentations, and I have always believed him to be a longstanding and high status member of the US "Intelligence Community".
The notorious CIA agent Dr. Michael Callahan reported directly to Dr. Kadlac throughout the Trump-era aspect of the COVIDcrisis, and I recall Michael frantically speaking of the need to protect Kadlac after the husband of BARDA director Dr. Rick Bright went to the LA Times to complain of unfair treatment at the hands of Kadlac and then Rick filed a federal whistleblower lawsuit on his way out the revolving door to a cushy job with the Rockefeller Institute.
America's top infectious diseases adviser, Anthony Fauci, deliberately decided to downplay suspicions from scientists that Covid-19 came from a laboratory to protect his reputation and deflect from the risky coronavirus research his agency had funded, according to his boss, one of the most senior US health officials during the pandemic.
In an exclusive interview, Robert Kadlec - former assistant secretary for preparedness and response at the US Department of Health - told The Weekend Australian that he, Dr Fauci and National Institutes of Health director Francis Collins privately discussed how to "Turn down the temperature" on accusations against China in the early days of the pandemic while they were trying to encourage Beijing to co-operate and share a sample of the virus.
"I think Tony Fauci was trying to protect his institution and his own reputation from the possibility that his agency was funding the Wuhan Institute of Virology researchers who, beyond the scope of the grants received from the National Institutes of Health, may have been working with People's Liberation Army researchers on defensive coronavirus vaccines," Dr Kadlec said.
"I think it's evident from his later released emails that he had more sense of what his institute had funded at that moment. This was a reputational risk to him and his institute and certainly he probably sided with the international scientists that believed that false or unsubstantiated accusations could have a chilling effect on scientific collaboration between the western world and China." Dr Kadlec, in his first ever media interview, added: "We think vaccine research resulted in the pandemic - that vaccine research was the proximate cause." In an extraordinary admission, Dr Kadlec said they decided to try to encourage a group of leading international scientists to calm down speculation on the origins of the virus.
Dr Kadlec says this was at the behest of the NIH. "Francis Collins and Fauci both had a similar world view which was scientists know best and there should be few restrictions on research," he said.
The Wuhan Institute of Virology and EcoHealth Alliance drew up a proposal for grant funding for coronavirus research, which international scientists now believe could be the "Blueprint" of Covid-19.
Dr Fauci has denied his agency funded gain-of-function research, but Dr Kadlec said this wasn't true.
"It's evident NIH supported research that has the potential for, and it at least one case resulted in gain of function," he said.
