Fox News’ Steve Hilton shared an investigation that breaks down the origins of the coronavirus, and not only links it back to U.S. commissioned research, but also to Dr. Anthony Fauci.
The host of the “The Next Revolution” told his viewers that the evidence uncovered “points to the most likely cause of the pandemic and it’s worse than anything that we have heard so far.”
Highlighting a study 10 years ago in the Netherlands involving ferrets, which have respiratory systems that operate similar to humans, Hilton said researchers “were trying to see if the virus that starts out without the ability to be transmitted through the air can eventually gain that ability.”
“This led to the creation of an entirely new type of scientific research made possible by advances in gene technology,” he said. “It was called gain of function virus research. The idea was to replicate in a lab what had been done with those ferrets — to take the virus and manipulate the genetic code to make it stronger and powerful. The virus would gain new function, hence the name.”
The idea being to engineer the most contagious deadly viruses in lab conditions “to learn about treatments and vaccines about the calamity of an actual outbreak,” Hilton noted.
This research was carried out around the world, with Wuhan, China being home to a leading laboratory, funded in part by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, headed up by Dr. Anthony Fauci.
The great risk being if a highly contagious virus managed to escape the lab, it could cause calamity — much like the world is seeing today with COVID-19.
Hilton shared that the Obama administration put a moratorium on the controversial research.
“Despite the controversy surrounding this type of research,” he said, “it always had one steadfast champion, a leading figure in the world of infectious diseases, Anthony Fauci. His institute funded that first ferret study. At the time he cowrote an op-ed in the Washington Post describing the research as “a risk worth taking… important information and insight can come from generating a potentially dangerous virus in the laboratory.”
“Shortly before the Obama Administration’s ban on gain of function research in 2014, Dr. Fauci commissioned … a project to assess the risk of new coronaviruses emerging from wild animals like bats — one of the aims was to see what viruses can infect animals and humans,” Hilton said.
The Fox News host said that while the Obama administration stopped the research, Fauci “continued on by subcontracting it” to the NY based EcoHealth Alliance.
Sharing what he called a “crucial step that have never been reported,” Hilton noted that EcoHealth Alliance then subcontracted the gain of function piece to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Citing a paper detailing a progress report on the study from the head of the Wuhan lab, Hilton pointed to a money trail that led back to Fauci.
“Until now, the only reporting of Dr. Fauci’s role in all of this has been his funding of the Wuhan lab in general,” Hilton said. “But tonight we can go further thanks to this paper. We can see the specific activity that Dr. Fauci funded and it is terrifying — so terrifying that after we reached out to NIH this paper was mysteriously taken off-line on Friday for a while. But we downloaded it weeks ago.”
He went into painstaking detail of researchers collecting samples of bat feces from a cave in a province in China and finding many novel coronaviruses, and genetically engineering new viruses in the lab.
“They infected human cells with them in the lab. And they then showed that their man-made viruses could replicate as a functional virus,” Hilton said. “Here is the most important part, the genetic changes they made in the lab unlocked a highly specific doorway into the human body. The virus that causes COVID-19 uses that same exact doorway. To be clear, none of the genetically engineered viruses created in 2017 and reported in this paper were the exact ones we’re dealing with now, but what they confirm was it was possible to make the COVID-19 virus using the technique developed in the Fauci project.”
A project that continued for three more years.
Comparing COVID-19 to viruses made in the Wuhan lab, Hilton said the pandemic virus “looks like a combination of two different bat viruses from a completely different species.”
He proceeded to discount claims that this may have been the result of natural origin.
“Multiple different species of bats in south China would have to infect each other, and some other unknown animals, and that either these animals or an infected human will need to have traveled 1000 miles without affecting anyone until they got to Wuhan,” Hilton said.
“We’re not suggesting for a second that the coronavirus was created or released as a bio weapon,” he stressed. “But lab accidents happen — that’s literally the reason the Obama administration stopped this research.”
Hilton said Matt Pottinger, who was former President Trump’s deputy national security advisor, privately told a group of British officials that “a growing body of evidence supported the idea that the virus leaked from the Wuhan lab.”
Sir Richard Dearlove, the former head of the British Secret Intelligence Service MI6, was quoted as saying: “It’s an engineered escapee from the Wuhan institute, I’m not saying anything other than the fact that… is was the result of an accident.”
After stressing you’re playing with fire when you modify a bat virus to where it can spread from human to human in the air, Hilton asked, “Why on earth didn’t Dr. Fauci stop it as soon as the Obama moratorium was announced back in 2014?”
“The response from the medical establishment has been shocking,” he added. “Instead of trying to figure out what happened, they have been pushing a cover-up.”
Saying the evidence suggests the U.S., under Fauci, commissioned the research that produced the COVID-19 virus, Hilton called on the infectious disease expert to “step aside.”
“This week President Biden made Dr. Fauci his chief medical advisor with an enhanced role,” Hilton concluded. “In the light of the documents and the evidence we presented tonight, that role is completely untenable. Fauci must step aside until we get to the bottom of this in creating, unintentionally of course, the catastrophic global pandemic.”
Fauci is responsible for funding the CCP/PLA and has blood on his hands.
Same reason the 2001 anthrax attacks had to be blamed on a domestic researcher... because if a foreign country used WMDS on Americans and it became publicly known, the people would demand retaliation.
This old news to anyone who follows FR.
“Is he allowed to fund anything?”
Did it (”laundered”) via the NIH, I think.
Fauci is a ghoul. Like the deranged firefighter who sets fires so he can be a hero putting them out.
Isn’t the MI6’s Sir Richard Dearlove one of the founders of the Clinton-connected company Hakluyt that was caught up in a scandal, the Heywood scandal, in China a while back? Wasn’t Russiagate’s Mifsud involved in Hakluyt, too?
Darn convenient ‘accident’ by its timing.
Like this guy?
“Did Trump know that Fauci may have had ethical conflicts with a pandemic and profit?”
We did — months ago. Assume PDJT did, too.
“Did Fauci know about this virus, it’s manipulation, and realize that it was weaponized day #1?”
He helped fund it, funneling NIH money to Wuhan via a lab in N.C.
“why was he left in his position which could be ethically challenged?”
Within the first month of Fauci infestation love emails from him to Hillary were published. Photos of him with many swamp creatures were published. Pence wanted him there. Fauci was protected by his handlers and there’s no way he would leave.
Bingo! Now we know what the “insurance policy” is that FBI agents Page and Strokz (sic) talked about.
The demonrats unleashed this killer virus on the world and Dr. Fauci is the one responsible.
Like a lot!
Where the heck has this guy been? Not investigating or reporting news for the past year.
This is not a new story, but good to see that FOX ran it. I will give them credit for that. Fauxcchi is also responsible for taking out hydroxychloroquine a viable treatment for COVID used successfully all over the world, just so he could push the big pharma Gilead drug Remdesivir that has a much more dubious track record than Hydroxychloroquine and costs exponentially more money. Add his slobbering support of Moderna and their mRNA vax. The man is an absolute narcissistic ghoul who should be jailed.
A ghoul we are paying $450,000 a year. Sickening.
I remember seeing this or reading about it, Fauci predicted in 2017 that there would be a pandemic under Trump, gee, how did he know that??
https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/2017-dr-fauci-predicted-a-pandemic-under-trump/vi-BB14h4x7
He made sure there would be one it seems....just to prove himself right.
So why is Fauci, the man, the monster, the killer, the Wuhan lab collaborator okey dokey with Mr. Biden, Mr. Pence and the corrupt corporate media and medical establishments?
Mr. Pence, was put in charge of the Corona Virus Task force by Pres. Trump. Mr. Pence hired Dr. Fauci as a chief medical expert on The China virus. Did he know that Fauci used taxpayer funds for CCP Wuhan lab experiments? Did Dr. Fauci disclose this info to the former VP?
Mr. Biden hired Fauci. Surely he knew that the Obama administration in 2014 banned research in the US like that carried out in the Wuhan Lab. I understood Obama also banned US taxpayer funds from use in foreign research.
One has to ask if the China Virus was deliberately used against our country with the knowledge of Dr. Fauci.
