Dr. Anthony Fauci came to Washington on Jan. 8 to answer questions on how he flipped his position on public policy for masks, how the agency he headed funded risky research in China, and how post-infection immunity was downplayed.

Dr. Fauci, 83, a chief architect of the U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic, is behind closed doors for two days of questioning from the U.S. House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. It was the first time he answered questions under oath since November 2022.
