ANOTHER BOMBSHELL: Fauci Warned World Leaders in 2020 That COVID Could Be the Result of a Lab Leak

Dr. Anthony Fauci spent over a year publicly dismissing the theory that COVID-19 originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, but more than a year ago he briefed world leaders that the virus may have leaked from the lab.

“I was told at that time, back in the spring [of 2020], that Dr. Fauci had gone over to a meeting of world health leaders in Europe around the World Health Assembly, and actually briefed them on the information that they were looking at — that this could have been a potential lab leak, that this strain looked unusual,” former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” on Sunday. “So those discussions were going on. And I was told that by a very senior official in the Trump administration. I’ve reconfirmed that conversation. That happened, you know, at the time contemporaneously with—with that meeting over a year ago. So I think early on when they looked at the strain, they had suspicions.”

Gottlieb said that further analysis “dispelled some of those suspicions,” but Fauci publicly refuted the man-made virus theory for a year even though he was told in the early days of the pandemic that COVID-19 had “unusual features” that “potentially look engineered.”

“On a phylogenetic tree the virus looks totally normal and the close clustering with bats suggest that bats serve as the reservoir. The unusual features of the virus make up a really small part of the genome (<0.1%) so one has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features (potentially) look engineered,” NIH scientist Kristian Andersen told Fauci on February 1, 2020.

Some believe that Fauci publicly dismissed the lab-leak theory to protect his own connections to funding “gain-of-function” research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology,

I wouldn’t trust him with my health care but that little weasel sure is an accomplished swamp dweller.

Yet, look at how many FReepers insist that Fauci told them the truth about masks in April and May last year. Many still think they are protected by masks. It’s a placebo, feel good gesture, and nothing more than that. Well, it is also a form of compliance and control.

C’on man. The virus came from a wet market, the authorities said so. Just because there was a US and Chinese military funded virology lab where the coronavirus was being studied and manipulated is no reason to consider an intentional or unintentional leak could have occurred.

My next door neighbor has been fully vaccinated and he still puts on a mask to walk his dogs in an area where he might pass one other pedestrian a month and could easily see them coming with enough time to cross the road.

It’s craziness, isn’t it?!!

I know a few people in my neighborhood who are the same way. Fully vaccinated months ago, still wear masks. Even outdoors as you said.

It boggles the mind.
