Sky News host Rowan Dean says Dr Anthony Fauci used a โ€œstrawmanโ€ argument against Senator Rand Paul during a Senate Health Committee hearing about the US federal COVID-19 response.

It comes after Senator Paul questioned Dr Fauci about the role the National Institutes of Health played in funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Dr Fauci responded to Senator Paul, saying “you are implying that what we did was responsible for the deaths of individual, I totally resent that, and if anybody is lying here Senator it is you”.

According to Mr Dean, Dr Fauci used a “very clever construction of a straw man”. โ€œThese two have been sparring over this issue and the stakes could not be higher,” he told Sky News host Rita Panahi. โ€œBasically, what Rand Paul is saying is โ€ฆ Dr Fauci was secretly funding the Wuhan lab, at a time when he had said America would no longer be involved in that.โ€
