Pssst! Did you hear what Dr. Fauci did this weekend?
Everyone’s talking about our #BeagleGate investigation — and they’re really mad. See below.
Fauci’s own NIH department wasted your money on many dog experiments, and locked beagle puppies in cages so biting sand flies could eat them alive.

White Coat Waste Project exposed it all. But that’s not even the worst part.
Fauci’s white coats also cut out puppies’ vocal cords…just so they wouldn’t have to hear them cry.
It’s time to call Fauci’s department and tell him to stop wasting your money!
POLITELY call NIAID, Dr. Fauci’s department, and tell them:
- As a taxpayer, I oppose the wasteful and cruel experiments on beagles you fund with my money.
- A majority of Republicans and Democrats also oppose your beagle experiments.
- There’s no good reason to feed puppies to sand flies, lock their heads in mesh cages while they’re eaten alive, or cut out their vocal cords.
- Stop wasting my money on these beagle experiments… NOW!
Let’s all give Dr. Fauci a call and tell him to knock it off. He needs to hear that these experiments are NOT okay.
Every call makes a big difference.

Fauci under fire for ‘puppy experiments’ that utilized disease-causing parasites
Dr Anthony Fauci has been condemned for using taxpayers’ money to fund animal experiments, including one which saw beagles trapped in cages so flies could eat them, and another where they were ‘debarked’ before being pumped with drugs and killed.
The White Coat Waste Project claims the NIAID provided a $375,800 grant to a lab in Tunisia to drug beagle puppies and locked their heads in mesh cages so sand flies could eat the dogs filled with hundreds of infected sand flies
One of the most disturbing incidents funded by Fauci’s National Institutes of Allergies and Infectious Diseases involved $375,000 given to a Tunisian research lab.
There, puppies had their heads held in cages, before being left for sand flies to eat them alive for research purposes.
Distressing snaps showed the pups with their heads kept inside the muslin-type cages filled with the hungry insects.
Another procedure – which the NIH funded to the tune of $1.8m – saw 44 beagle puppies undergo a ‘cordectomy,’ which saw their vocal cords cut to stop them barking.
That experiment, which took place in Menlo Park, California, saw the dogs then pumped full of drugs, before being killed and dissected.
A third, $425,000 set of taxpayer funded tests saw beagles howl in pain while being experimented on in Georgia.
In response, a group of 24 lawmakers, led by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), are now demanding Fauci provide answers about the experiments they believe to be ‘cruel’ and a ‘reprehensible misuse of taxpayer funds.’
‘According to documents obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request by taxpayer watchdog group White Coat Waste Project, and subsequent media coverage, from October 2018 until February 2019, NIAID spent $1.86million in taxpayer funds on drug tests involving 44 beagle puppies,’ the letter from lawmakers reads.
‘While documents state that the ostensible purpose of this study was to ‘provide data of suitable quality and integrity to support application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory agencies,’ the FDA itself has recently stated that it ‘does not mandate that human drugs be studied in dogs.”
The experiments were done with funding from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, of which Fauci has been director since 1984.
The sand flies would gnaw on the dogs’ ears, eating them alive
Two weeks ago, the White Coat Waste Project revealed that close to $1.68million was spent on experiments on a total of 44 beagles at Sri International in Menlo Park, California, in which the puppies received cordectomies and were force-fed drugs before being killed and dissected.
Another $375,800 was provided as a grant to a lab in Tunisia to drug beagle puppies and locked their heads in mesh cages so sand flies could eat the dogs filled with hundreds of infected sand flies, the group revealed in August.
Fauci’s team had previously, in 2016, strapped the infectious sand flies to beagles at the NIAID lab in Bethesda, Maryland, allowing them to feed on the dogs for 22 months.
The White Coat Waste Project alleges that the dogs developed infectious legions before researchers killed and dissected them.
This procedure cost $18,430,917.

Records show the dogs were ‘vocalizing in pain’ during the experiments, before being killed.
The group of legislators has asked Fauci and his researchers to answer the following by November 19:

‘De-barking beagles and poisoning puppies in experiments with our tax dollars is a national disgrace that’s uniting Republicans and Democrats, and we applaud Rep. Nancy Mace and her colleagues on both sides of the aisle for holding the NIH accountable for this government waste and animal abuse,’ Justin Goodman, Vice President of Advocacy and Public Policy at taxpayer watchdog group White Coat Waste Project, said in a statement provided to DailyMail.com.
Neither Fauci nor the NIAID immediately responded to our request for comment.
The animal testing allegations come after Fauci was accused of lying to Congress by claiming the US did not fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab blamed for creating COVID.
The National Institutes of Health admitted on Wednesday to funding gain of function research on bat coronaviruses in it’s Wuhan laboratory despite Dr. Fauci’s denials to congress that no such research took place.
The admission came in a letter addressed Kentucky congressman James Comer, in which NIH’s principal deputy director Lawrence A. Tabak refers to a ‘limited experiment’ conducted to test if ‘spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2 receptor in a mouse model,’ at the Wuhan lab.
According to Tabak, the mice infected with the modified bat virus ‘became sicker’ than those infected with the unmodified bat virus.
The lawmakers expect Fauci (pictured) to answer their questions by November 19
While never using the term, Tabak essentially confirms that gain of function research.
It looks at both transmitting disease between animals and humans and is a way for scientists to alter organisms and diseases.
They can then study how these diseases could become deadlier or more transmissible, took place at the Chinese lab despite consistent denials from Dr. Fauci.
The letter shifts the blame to U.S non profit EcoHealth Alliance, which used NIH money to fund research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, for not being transparent about the kind of research they were doing.
‘EcoHealth failed to report this finding right away, as was required by the terms of the grant,’ Tabak wrote in his letter. ‘EcoHealth is being notified that they have five days from today to submit to NIH any and all unpublished data from the experiments and work conducted under this award.’
Fauci has testified on several occasions before Congress that American taxpayers never financed what is called ‘gain of function’ research in China – which would make a virus more contagious or deadly.
In May, Fauci testified that the NIH ‘has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.’
However, in September, The Intercept revealed it had received 900 pages of documents detailing the work of EcoHealth Alliance’s research in Wuhan, China.
The files showed that in 2014, the National Health Institute approved a five-year, yearly grant of $666,000 a year for five years ($3.3million) for EcoHealth Alliance, a US research organization, into bat coronavirus.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology has been fingered as the potential source of COVID-19. It received $599,000 in US government money from the EcoHealth Alliance for its study on coronaviruses in bats
EcoHealth Alliance, in its proposal to the NIH, acknowledged the risks involved were ‘the highest risk of exposure to SARS or other CoVs’ among staff, who could then carry it out of the lab.
The NIH gave them the money anyway – something Fauci was previously forced to admit when testifying before Congress in May this year. EcoHealth Alliance then gave $599,000 of the money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
The approval notice for the grant is 528 pages long. It describes how EcoAlliance would receive yearly payments, totaling $3.3million over five years.
The funding was renewed in 2019 but was abruptly cut short in April 2020, once COVID-19 had spread throughout the world.
