Dr. Anthony Fauci is an adviser to President Donald Trump and something of an American folk hero for his steady, calm leadership during the pandemic crisis. At least one poll shows that Americans trust Fauci more than Trump on the coronavirus pandemic—and few scientists are portrayed on TV by Brad Pitt.
But just last year, the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the organization led by Dr. Fauci, funded scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and other institutions for work on gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses.
In 2019, with the backing of NIAID, the National Institutes of Health committed $3.7 million over six years for research that included some gain-of-function work. The program followed another $3.7 million, 5-year project for collecting and studying bat coronaviruses, which ended in 2019, bringing the total to $7.4 million.

There are dozens of right-leaning blogs where I’d expect to read this. But Newsweek? That’s pretty mainstream.
Either they know the truth is about to come out and they are getting ahead of it, or they are PO-ed at Fauci for backing Trump vs. Woodward and are throwing him under the bus.
I think we’ve just learned from the Mueller crew that the D.C. swamp has mastered the art of how to sabotage their electronic devices.
Yep. but the little creep STILL needs hangin'
Paging Tucker Carlson. Where are you man?
Tucker Carlson had the Chinese defector on last night who says the virus was man-made and deliberately released.
Tucker had the Chinese woman on last night who is basically accusing the Chinese of creating and releasing this virus.
