Congressional Republicans are intensifying scrutiny on Dr. Anthony Fauci following the release of his pandemic-era private notes. The documents show the former official privately calculated a significantly lower COVID-19 fatality rate in early 2020.
Released by Senator Rand Paul, a February 2020 journal entry reveals Fauci noted the case fatality rate was around 0.2 to 0.3 percent. This contrasts sharply with public warnings where he cited a mortality rate up to three percent.
