## Resource

Tony Fauci bobbleheads are hitting the clearance rack harder than a lab leak denial — deep discounts all around as the 85-year-old former NIAID boss prepares to sit under the hot lights of Congress tomorrow. Rand Paul has been screaming from the rafters for years, subpoena in hand, diary pages flying, gain-of-function questions loaded… and still the real outrage remains: after the lockdowns, the mandates, the origins fog, the shifting stories, and the body count, almost nobody is likely to be held accountable for the whole COVID caper. Tony Fauci bobbleheads are selling at a deep discount as he prepares to testify in front of Congress tomorrow. The real outage is that even with Rand Paul screaming from the rafters, no one will likely be held accountable for the COVID caper.
