Dr. Anthony Fauci doubled down on claims that the coronavirus likely originated from an animal then was transmitted to humans in a Thursday morning interview on CNN, despite increasing speculation that it leaked from a China lab.
Fauci, who served under former President Trump and President Joe Biden, continues to fight the idea that he downplayed theories that the virus originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology after a trove of emails exchange at the beginning of the pandemic revealed he was warned about a potential lab leak.
'I have always said and will say today to you ... that I still believe the most likely origin is from an animal species to a human,' Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Thursday on CNN.
Although he said he's keeping an open mind about the possibility of a lab leak, Fauci said it was 'far-fetched' to think the Chinese would kill their own people.
'The idea, I think, is quite far-fetched that the Chinese deliberately engineered something so that they could kill themselves, as well as other people. I think that’s a bit far out.'
In a separate Thursday morning interview on MSNBC, Fauci said they want to definitively find the cause of the coronavirus pandemic - whatever that origin is - but pointing the finger at China isn't going to help.
'It's in China's interest to find out exactly what it is,' Fauci said. 'Obviously, you want openness and cooperation. One of the ways to get it is not to be accusatory. Try to get a forensic, scientific and investigational approach. I think the accusatory part about it is only going to make (China) pull back more.'

The presumption is they intended it to be released on their own population... rather than an accidental release....
This guys a moron... and needed gone a year and a half ago....
They didn't mean to "kill themselves". That was a screw up, and China desperately rushed to cover up the leak, deny the human to human spread and hide the massive outbreak in Wuhan. I doubt the virus that infected the researchers at WIV, and then the world, was ready for release. It was a work in progress. At least that's my opinion/theory.
Pinning the virus on WIV has massive geopolitical ramifications for China, so they must stop it at all costs. Pinning SARS2 on WIH also means an outbreak of "SARS3" could be viewed by some countries as a biological attack. The repercussions of that could destroy China.
released on purpose to kill themselves\
The dead Chinese citizens are honoured martyrs for the glorious PLA ,
who gave their lives to strike a mortal foe a mortal blow
Biologically
Economicaly
Politically
Victory without foreign a shot.
All should hail comrade fauci.
Pretty obvious.
Ymmv.
Fireing
Does Fauci think the idea of the Chinese Cultural Revolution was “far-fetched”? Is he a denier?
who’s to say it wasn’t pneumonia that he had...
it’s strange how that fell off all medical diagnosis charts since the kung flu magically appeared...
So says the modern day Mengele.
My uncle led a company in the 1Cav at the C’hong C’hong River in Nov of 1950. He spoke often of the manner of ChiComs attacks. Caring about the deaths of their own never entered into their tactics. So the Wuhan folks were just tactical casualties.
He doesn’t know the Chinese or their history very well. They have no problem eliminating useless eaters. When I was there, their word for the disabled was literally “garbage”. Fauci is spinning.
“Fauci DEFENDS China and says it’s ‘far fetched’ to think they’d ‘deliberately engineer something to kill themselves’ - as he doubles down on animal origins of COVID and dismisses ‘out-of-context’ smoking gun emails”
What a dip$hit. Bio weapons are always designed to kill their own people not their enemies.
Anything is possible, this was just one I hadn’t given any thought to...
Like I said, to any country that would murder tens of millions of its own citizens for purely ideological purposes, that hypothesis would be just as valid as the one I was mulling over.
Great Leap Forward
3 years
45 million dead chinese
Does he realize he’s talking about the country that “killed more of themselves” that has any other country in the world?
I hope china dimes fauci out and says fauci made it in NY lab and brought it to china to study.
Doctor Mengele Fauci needs to read up on Chernobyl.
What a moron.
Fauci is a pathological liar in the mold of Hillary Clinton.
If times are bad in China and say even a small percentage of their population is out of work?/?
Trouble in river city.
Yeah Boogieman, But the mookabooker is making Loads of money.
China is coming upon a devastating demographic trend- too many aging citizens and not enough workers to support them. A disease that favors killing the elderly is curiously convenient for them. At this point, there’s little question that this thing came from a lab. The only question is whether it was accidentally or diliberately released.
This idiot obviously never spoke with anyone outside of a state sanctioned troll. People are cordwood to the Chicomms. That is fact.
