This is more CYA crap.

Exactly this. The U.S., not China, was the but-for cause for the work done that produced SARS-COV-2. Any story that isn't focused on the U.S. military-academic establishment -- e.g., that isn't taking account of the role of people like Deborah Birx and Ralph Baric -- is just blowing smoke.
Fauci was just the middle-man paper pusher here. He was the conduit through which the government money flowed, that's all. I know more about the "science" of viruses than pathetic "Dr." Fauci, and I know essentially nothing about it. Fauci is nothing but an egomaniacal (and clueless) old fool who was happy to play the role of front man for a scheme, the actual details of which he likely knew relatively little (since he's a bureaucratic know-nothing incapable of understanding any of those details).
Meanwhile, those who were operating at the center of this matter were happy to have this clueless old man play that role. For reasons that, as stories like this indicate, become evident with time.
