Joe Biden's presidency began and ended with the shielding of individuals linked to decades' worth of dangerous gain-of-function experiments.
Biden concluded his presidency by issuing former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci a blanket pardon, going back all the way to Jan. 1, 2014 — around the time the Obama administration supposedly halted funding for gain-of-function research that makes pathogens more deadly and/or more transmissible.
'It is hard to say if Daszak will be forthcoming with information.'
Years earlier — days after the geriatric Democrat was sworn in as president and at the height of the COVID pandemic — the Biden FBI requested special treatment for Peter Daszak, the disgraced British zoologist who funneled American funds to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
According to documents released on Monday by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the National Targeting Center — a division of U.S. Customs and Border Protection responsible for catching travelers and detecting cargo that threaten American security — alerted other groups within the Department of Homeland Security to Daszak's planned trip from Qatar to New York on Feb. 5, 2021.
The NTC was aware not only of the British native's recent travels around China and his role on the World Health Organization team investigating the origins of SARS-CoV-2 but his work with coronavirus researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology; his predominant use of American grant money for gain-of-function research, including research conducted by one of SARS-CoV-2's likely patients zero; his contracts "with the DHS Chemical and Biological Threat Division"; his co-authorship of a 2013 study detailing the successful infection of human cells with a SARS-like coronavirus; and the National Institutes of Health's request that he retrieve "the original type-specimen used by WIV for genetic analysis."
The NTC recommended that Daszak undergo a Tactical Terrorism Response Team exam.

In the NTC's Feb. 2, 2021, email setting the stage for a thorough inspection and interview upon Daszak's arrival was a list of questions the division evidently figured worth raising with the foreign zoologist, including:
One of the documents published by Paul stated, "During the inspection, it is hard to say if Daszak will be forthcoming with information."
Daszak — who was formally debarred along with his scandal-plagued and now-defunct organization, EcoHealth Alliance, last year by the Department of Health and Human Services — was apparently spared from having to undergo the exam and answer such questions in detail upon his arrival due to an intervention by the Biden FBI.
A senior CBP officer serving as the agency's Joint Terrorism Task Force liaison wrote, "Please be advised FBI New York requested we do not stop the subject below."
Customs and Border Protection played ball, sending out a message stating, "Please disregard request for inspection."
Sen. Paul said that "the inspection never took place."
Daszak and the FBI did not immediately respond to Blaze News' requests for comment.
When asked by Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) during a 2024 congressional hearing whether he had a "standing relationship, either officially or unofficially, with any agency in the intelligence community," Daszak answered no, then claimed he also wasn't a witting informant for any U.S. intelligence agency.

A "serious software error" in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle System led to 6,600 people who indicated they were not citizens to be wrongly registered to vote, according to the state's governor.
Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill said in a statement Tuesday that the error was discovered last week and that she has replaced the vendor responsible and taken those voters off the rolls.
'They were registered as Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters and were scattered across the state.'
"These individuals answered 'no' when asked on a keypad whether they were a U.S. citizen when applying for driver's licenses and identification cards, but through no fault of their own, the system registered them anyway," Sherrill said.
Sherrill said the registrations occurred between June 2023 and June 2024, years before she got into office.
"This happened under the previous administration and, upon learning this information, I immediately ordered my chief counsel to launch an investigation to get to the bottom of what occurred," she said. "I also ordered the removal of any residents from our voter rolls who were erroneously added between June 2023 and June 2024."
She went on to say she was "appalled" by the "reckless failures" that led to the false registrations.
"Our preliminary analysis shows fewer than 400 individuals who were newly registered for the first time because of the error voted," she added. "They were registered as Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters and were scattered across the state."
Sherrill blamed the previous administration under Gov. Phil Murphy, another Democrat.

Merrill went on to try to preempt criticism from Republicans about voter integrity.
"As the Trump administration tries to weaponize elections for political gain, I am ensuring we protect our elections," she added. "Let me be clear: Donald Trump has zero credibility on the issue of election integrity. For more than 10 years, he has worked to undermine Americans' faith in our elections by spreading lies about legitimate election results, attempting to overturn a free and fair election, encouraging an attack on our Capitol when he couldn't accept the will of the voters, and defunding election security at the federal level."
Trump has been pressing for the SAVE America Act, which would require voters to show photo ID before registering to vote.
"Yet another reason to PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!" responded a White House social media account. "It would require states to submit voter rolls to the USCIS/DHS SAVE system for citizenship verification (which New Jersey currently does not do) — preventing this exact scenario from happening in the first place."
