Washington, D.C. (VINnews) – In a recent congressional hearing, Dr. Carrie Wolinetz, former Chief of Staff at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) during the COVID-19 pandemic, faced intense questioning from Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) regarding allegations of censorship under Dr. Anthony Fauci’s leadership.

Senator Hawley probed Dr. Wolinetz on whether she had any regrets about not opposing what he described as censorship of scientific discourse during the pandemic. Dr. Wolinetz firmly denied that any such censorship occurred.

“Do you regret not opposing the censorship?” Senator Hawley asked pointedly.

“I don’t believe censorship took place, sir,” Dr. Wolinetz responded unequivocally.

This exchange underscores the ongoing controversy and differing perspectives on the handling of public communication and scientific information during the COVID-19 crisis. Critics like Senator Hawley argue that dissenting voices were silenced, hindering a robust debate on the pandemic response. However, Dr. Wolinetz’s remarks reflect the stance of many public health officials who maintain that their communications were guided by evolving scientific evidence and aimed at providing accurate information to the public.
