@twt_unleashed: Fauci Pleads The Fifth On Whether Aborted Parts Belong In Research Mice Sen. Joni Ernst questioned Dr. Anthony Fauci over NIH-funded coronavirus research that used human fetal tissue to create so-called "BLT-L" mice for scientific studies. During the hearing, Ernst described research involving liver, thymus, and fetal lung tissue from aborted babies being implanted into mice. She then asked Fauci whether he believed aborted human tissue should be used in coronavirus research. Fauci declined to answer, saying, "On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution." The exchange came as the NIH announced it would no longer fund research using fetal tissue obtained from elective abortions. #fauci #nih #covid #research #worldnews
