Daniel Fish’s ‘Kramer/Fauci’ Revives 1993 AIDS Crisis Clash in Off-Broadway Run

Daniel Fish’s Off-Broadway production of 'Kramer/Fauci' at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn re-stages a 1993 C-SPAN debate between AIDS activist Larry Kramer and scientist Anthony Fauci. The hour-long verbatim play, starring Thomas Jay Ryan and Will Brill, uses spatial staging and archival dialogue to highlight tensions between activism and public health policy. While critics praise its emotional resonance and historical relevance, others argue the lack of dramatic context and repetitive dialogue limit its impact.

Senate Democrats rejected a bid by Rand Paul to grant legal immunity to a former aide of Anthony Fauci, blocking the Kentucky senator’s attempt to secure testimony for his pandemic origins investigation. The vote failed 8-7, falling short of the two-thirds majority required. Paul now plans to refer the witness to the Justice Department and examine her emails.

Fauci declines Senate appearance, citing Fifth Amendment in ongoing COVID probe

Dr. Anthony Fauci refused to voluntarily testify before a second Senate panel investigating his COVID-19 handling, arguing that compelling testimony would amount to harassment for political purposes. The move follows a July hearing in which he invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times, prompting a contempt-of-Congress referral and a dispute over whether a Biden pardon or ongoing investigations justify forcing testimony, with Republicans pressing to subpoena him and potentially involve the DOJ.

Rand Paul’s Contempt Move on Fauci: A Political Play Framed as Legal Scrutiny

The article argues Rand Paul’s push to hold Fauci in contempt and release his diary is a partisan tactic aimed at discrediting Fauci and pressuring the DOJ, rather than a serious legal case. It notes that while the diary could be used to cherry-pick inconsistencies and Fauci could face perjury questions, the Biden pardon complicates prosecutions for actions up to 2025. With state investigations looming and political dynamics in Washington, the piece suggests the move is more about political theater and embarrassing Fauci than a likely criminal outcome.

Gabbard Uses Declassified Files to Probe Fauci's COVID Origins Involvement

Outgoing DNI Tulsi Gabbard released newly declassified materials showing intelligence officials debated Fauci’s role in their COVID-19 origins review, including whether to consult him as an outside reviewer and whether his recommendations for interview subjects would signal a conflict of interest. The release is part of her closing effort atop the intelligence community as ODNI transitions to Bill Pulte, whose confirmation faces resistance, and as she notes Fauci’s influence amid the wider debate over the origins of the virus.

House Report Criticizes COVID-19 Response, Suggests Lab Leak Origin

A US congressional committee, led by Republicans, has concluded that COVID-19 likely originated from a lab-related accident, specifically pointing to research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The report criticizes the US National Institutes of Health for funding gain-of-function research in China and questions the effectiveness of lockdowns and mask mandates. The committee's findings contrast with other scientific assessments suggesting a zoonotic origin for the virus. The report also praises Operation Warp Speed for its role in vaccine development but highlights the negative impact of school closures.
