Dr. Anthony Fauci, the countrys top infectious disease expert and member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, rejected the notion that the CCP virus, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, originated in a Chinese lab.
Fauci made the remarks to The National Geographic in an in-depth interview that ranged from virus origin theories to lighter topics prompted by questions like Wow, how do you unwind?
Asked whether he believed the virus was made inor accidentally released froma Chinese lab, Fauci said there was overwhelming evidence it came from the wild.
If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats, and whats out there now is very, very strongly leaning toward this [virus] could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated, he said, adding that the mutation pattern of the virus is highly suggestive of a natural origin.
A number of very qualified evolutionary biologists have said that everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that it evolved in nature and then jumped species, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said.
A widespread theory, reiterated by Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Tuesday, is that the virus made the leap from animal to human at one of Wuhans wildlife wet markets.
Some claim the virus occurred naturally but was brought into the Wuhan lab for study, from where it escaped, a theory Fauci dismissed as a circular argument.
That means it was in the wild to begin with. Thats why I dont get what theyre talking about [and] why I dont spend a lot of time going in on this circular argument, he said.

Just cashed his CCP check.
Fire his ass !!!
translation: It’s a ChiCom designer bioweapon.
The man has yet to be right about anything in his life.
Note he’s saying “did not originate”.
He said nothing about “came from”.
There is a diff, but I would not expect the enemedia to differentiate.
Does he explain how it “came from the wild?”
The doctor bureaucrat.
It is media and celebrity Kolol Aid time people. Will the American people drink the Fauci-Corona-CCP Kool Aid?
What is circular about that assertion?
And, while he's at it, could he expand on the reported $3.5 million contract the US had with the Wuhan lab? What did it cover? What were the results?
Is this the same Kung Flu virus he insisted a few months ago posed no danger to the American public? Fibbin’-Ouchy needs to spend more time with his family. His job of screwing up the country is more than complete.
[[[The man has yet to be right about anything in his life.]]]
He’s so full of sh** his eyes are brown.
Tired of listening to him.
It was in the wild in the first place?
Doesnt mean it didnt escape from the lab and only then became a problem..
“the countrys top infectious disease expert”
He’s nothing of the sort.
Just another bureaucrat manager, spewing pre-cooked political drivel.
And now he’s trying not to offend his CCP buddies.
Of course it came from bats. It was COLLECTED from bats by Chinese virologists and contained and studied in the Wuhan lab. And with near certainty was accidentally released from there probably by a lab employee becoming infected.
Fauci is a globalist, gullible (or malevolent) idiot.
This guy absolutely loves to give comfort to WHO commie head Tedros and the CCP.
He’s playing games. It doesn’t matter. He controls nothing.
President Trump is the decider.
Was Fauci paid in dollars, yuan, diamonds, or gold?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Fire his ass !!!
************
Fauci seems to have acquired an immunity to that. Birx as well.
His response to the second theory is preposterous.
He considers it “circular” and “doesn’t understand” the difference if it occurred in the wild but was brought into the laboratory and infected humans!
He cannot possibly be that F’ing stupid.
“Some claim the virus occurred naturally but was brought into the Wuhan lab for study, from where it escaped, a theory Fauci dismissed as a circular argument.
How the hell is that a circular argument?
