This is an utter and complete lie. Who has looked at the mutations that the coronavirus underwent in making a jump from the bats to the humans? Nobody. Those mutations cannot be found. This was a lie when Fauci said it. Question is did he lie willfully or was he duped.

"A day before the teleconference [on 1/31/20], Kristian Andersen, an expert in infectious disease genomics at the Scripps Research Translational Institute in California, had told Fauci that the genetic structure of the virus looked like it might have been engineered in a lab."

Does this sound like prominent virologists agreeing the virus did not come from a lab?

Dr. Fauci clearly and unequivocally lied in the above segment.

Crucial Three Days

Three days after the Feb 1, 2020 meeting in which Kristian Andersen asserted that the virus seems to have come from a lab, he changed his tune completely and now started calling the lab-leak hypothesis a "fringe" or a "crackpot" theory.

What made him do that?

Signs of Corrupted Science

In just three days, a narrative was cooked up to shut down any serious scientific inquiry into the lab-leak hypothesis. It is unlikely any new evidence appeared suddenly. More likely someone decided it would be better if the world looked the other way.

The Pivotal Meeting That Was Instrumental in Creating a False Narrative

The Feb 1, 2020 meeting that Dr. Fauci arranged and that was attended not only by Dr. Fauci but also by his boss Dr. Collins seems to have been crucial in kicking off a false narrative, many believe.

Of course there is mandatory finger-pointing at Trump:

"And it didn’t help that the questions about a lab leak had become conflated with the notion of a deliberately created bioweapon and that were also early on tied to President Donald Trump’s China-bashing rhetoric."

Lingering Questions About A Lab Leak

There is no scientific consensus, nor was there ever, that SARS-CoV-2 came about naturally. There has been and continues to be a serious concern that it was engineered.

Now It Can Be Told

But only because a FOIA request has uncovered a treasure trove of Dr. Fauci's emails that leave no choice for Fauci and others to fess up to some of the events that shut down early investigation into the origins of the virus.

A Top Chinese Official May Have Defected to the U.S.

"Reports that a top Chinese official defected to the U.S. have swept Chinese-language media this week. The alleged reason? Sharing sensitive information about COVID-19 origins."
