2. FAUCI VS. FAUCI

Fauci has long stated he has an "open mind" about the pandemic's beginning, but the New York Times pointed out that Fauci dismissed a Wuhan lab accident as a "conspiracy theory" on a podcast in early 2020. nytimes.com/2023/03/28/opi…

4. The Times also caught Fauci helping to orchestrate a March 2020 study published in Nature Medicine that downplayed the possibility of a lab accident. After helping orchestrate this paper, Fauci then promoted it during a White House press conference.

6. Fauci tells the Times that "he’s not sure he ever got around to reading the paper" in Nature Medicine.
