Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci bears direct responsibility for approving taxpayer funding of experiments at the University of Pittsburgh that grafted scalps from aborted babies onto the backs of laboratory rats, pro-life investigators charged Tuesday.
