A search of recent news gets many results echoing claims made in this recent post to BBQ. However all of the sources cited in the search results are either obscure or social media (in other words, it’s gone viral). Certainly at least one, if not all, well known news sources would report on such an explosive story. Instead nothing, so I thought this post was worth a fact check, and I found one by “Tech ARP” with the following reporting. Make of it what you will. Here are relevant excerpts:
“Some people are claiming or suggesting that 7 states have filed criminal referrals against Anthony Fauci and other top officials for COVID crimes. Some even claim that those states are calling for, or even pursuing, criminal charges against Fauci and other officials!”
“Let me start by pointing out that the criminal referrals against Dr. Anthony Fauci, and other top officials involved in the US COVID-19 pandemic response, were not filed by any state, never mind 7 of them.
Instead, they appear to have been filed by the Vires Law Group, which appears to be a South Florida-based law firm that specialises in civil litigation.
Anyone can file a criminal complaint, or a criminal referral, with the police or any US district attorney. You don’t even have to be a lawyer, or law firm, to do that.”
“It appears that the Vires Law Group has filed multiple criminal referrals since at least 2023, but despite their prolific efforts, no attorney general or district attorney in the United States has ever filed criminal charges against Dr. Anthony Fauci, or as far as I can tell – anyone else on the list either.”
“On the other hand, a coalition of 17 state attorneys general led by South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson say that they’re investigating Dr. Fauci’s role in the US government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, after President Biden gave him a blanket pardon.”
“Notably, those 17 state attorneys general still have not filed criminal charges against Dr. Fauci, as of 11 April 2025. That usually indicates they have not found “violations of state laws“, or they would have taken “appropriate action to ensure justice is served.“
In addition, this investigation by those state attorneys general appear to be limited to Dr. Fauci, and does not involve any of the other people mentioned in the criminal referrals by the Vires Law Group.”
