Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s 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 in—or accidentally released from—a 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 what’s 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 Wuhan’s 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. That’s why I don’t get what they’re talking about [and] why I don’t spend a lot of time going in on this circular argument,” he said.

Paid Gates/Chicom mole.
He says your theory doesn’t matter because it was in the wild anyway. His response is insane.
But. He has to be a Trusted Authority! After all, he has been with the NIH for over THIRTY years! Certainly, he would have been fired a long time ago if he had his head up his arse, right?
The more appropriate title of this article should read :
“Dr. Fauci Says Wuhan Virus Was Likely Not Created in Wuhan Lab He Funded with Millions of US Dollars.”
Thats how the Gateway Pundit website titled it.
The ChiComs told him so.
He controls nothing.
**************
He influences, if not controls, much of public opinion. And he is enjoying every minute of it.
Why does he still have a job?
Trump fire his @$$ now. Please.
Trump must be in love with the guy.
“If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats, and what’s out there now is very, very strongly leaning toward this [virus] could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated”
He’s answering a question that was not asked. The question is *not* whether the virus was artificially or deliberately manipulated. It’s whether or not it was released, accidentally or intentionally, from the lab. That could be true regardless of whether it was artificial.
I think he’s smart enough to know the difference, but dishonest enough that he doesn’t want us to.
You haven’t been right about anything so FO
The WHO and CDC now recommend everyone wear a blindfold to protect you from seeing what’s really going on
Hundreds of success stories for hydroxychloroquine must also be “circular data”. This POS needs to be fired!
The CCP destroyed files, records concerning the Wuhan Virus. How does he know, there is no data.
Guy is a tool of the Wuhan Lab, he gets grant ,money for them.
Seriously!
F. H. A.!!!
Like, yesterday!
Fauci is a globalist, gullible (or malevolent) idiot.

UPDATED: Dr. Fauci Likely Broke US Regulations and US Law When He Funded Wuhan Lab to Continue Coronavirus Projects That Were Banned in US in 2014
Not my specialty, but I believe there has to be some kind of vector between species. If so, how did it come from animal to humans? Does this lead back to the Chinese "wet markets?"
He only influences the TDS crowd which amounts to nil.
So he can play his stupid games. It doesn’t affect policy.
The virus was likely Doctored at the Fauci-funded lab before release.
