Stop the Political Persecution of Dr. Fauci and American Scientists

To: Sen. Padilla, Sen. Schiff, Rep. Kiley

From: A verified voter in Folsom, CA

July 31

Stop the witch-hunt against Dr. Anthony Fauci. The Senate Homeland Security Committee's subpoena, Senator Paul's referral to the DOJ for "potential criminal prosecution," and the release of thousands of pages of Fauci's private diaries are not oversight — they are political harassment of a public servant who spent 38 years leading NIAID through HIV, Ebola, SARS, and Covid-19. More than 155 scientists, physicians, and public health advocates have signed an open letter calling these attacks baseless. The specific allegations — that Fauci covered up Covid's origins, holds patents on the virus, or bribed scientists — have no factual foundation. What is documented is five years of threats of violence directed at Fauci and his family. That is the real scandal here. This campaign doesn't just target one man. It sends a chilling message to every researcher in America. Speak up, and you'll be subpoenaed, smeared, and referred to the DOJ. That is how you destroy American scientific leadership. Defend Fauci publicly, oppose these proceedings, and make clear that harassing scientists for political gain is something you will not tolerate.
