Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top expert on infectious disease, on Friday, rejected a conspiracy theory that the novel coronavirus escaped a Chinese lab.
"A group of highly-qualified evolutionary virologists looked at the sequences in bats as they evolve. The mutations that it took to get to the point where it is now is totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human," Fauci said at the daily White House press briefing in response to a question from a reporter on the theory, which has been pushed by President Donald Trump's allies in recent days.
The precise origins of the novel coronavirus, which is officially known as SARS-CoV-2 and causes the disease COVID-19, remain somewhat of a mystery. But, as Fauci underscored in his remarks on Friday, studies of the virus' genome have strongly indicated that it was transmitted from an animal to a human.

Trump may have wanted him to do that. Art of the Deal.
The fact that it came from a bat doesn’t mean it did not come from the lab. Both could be true.
“Escaped”.....LMAO...ok.
What would you expect him to say, now that you know that???
Chinas spokesperson sets us straight.
People paying careful attention noticed Fauci didn’t answer the question asked.
Fauci should be investigated. He sent $3.7M in grant money to the Wuhan Lab during the Obama years. Likely to fund research outlawed in the US.
How the F*** does he know that? Did his handlers in the NWO tell him to say that?
Lying sack of Communist bat-crap.
One silver lining during this crisis...
The traitorous lapdogs for the ChiComs have been outed...i.e. Fauci, Birx, Gates, etc
Napoleon Fauxi worked on the patents, including
those with Gates who funded the patents
assigned to the Pirbright Institute UK.
How many have died on Earth from this hidden work?
How many will? and how many will have
CNS infections and immune damage for the rest of their lives?
The bat species in question are not found within 350 miles of Wuhan and are not sold in the wet markets there.
Exactly. The purpose of the article is to create the illusion that because the virus likely came from a natural source, that it did not come from the lab.
The Chinese tentacles are deep in the Media, because this deception is being spread from many sources.
Well, if this lab in Wuhan is the lab Fauci’s NIH has funded and collaborated with, his statement makes perfect sense. What else WOULD he say? I think eventually the truth about his loyalties will be brought to light.
You sir, are correct. Watch carefully, (as I listened) and clearly, Fauci does not answer the question. All he said was that the virus was not manufactured. He said nothing related to the virus escaping from the bio-lab where they were experimenting with it...
Fake News...........again.
So the Fox who guarded the hen house said so?
It all depends upon what the meaning of ‘escaped’ is.
CNN & MSNBC love this guy for a reason.
