On Thursday’s broadcast of “PBS NewsHour,” NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins stated that the lab leak theory on the origin of COVID-19 “didn’t get nearly as much attention perhaps as it should have. I will tell you, it was always on my mind. I know it was on Tony Fauci’s mind.”
Collins said, “I think it was a confusing time back then [early 2020], Judy. First, let me say, I do think we need to get answers here. An investigation is very much needed.”
He added that back then, there was the theory that the virus was the result of bioweapons research, which wasn’t a viable theory, adding, “And so the idea that it was, on the other hand, a lab accident, where they were studying this virus, which maybe did occur in nature, but it got loose in the lab, that theory didn’t get nearly as much attention perhaps as it should have. I will tell you, it was always on my mind. I know it was on Tony Fauci’s mind. But none of us ran to the microphone to say, we need to worry about the fact that this could have been a lab leak. It — at the present time, we have no more data or less data to support that. Suddenly, it’s emerged in a lot of people’s minds as, oh, that’s the leading explanation.”

Whole lotta CYA going on, Francis.
As if we needed confirmation. That pretty much says it all.
of course it was
trying to hide and discredit it
no one said it wasn’t
you were actively trying to hide the connections, deleting pages that tied you to it,etc
I know it was on Fauci’s mind, too.
He knew he had paid for this pandemic.
Wait, what? What happened to the bat soup theory? Where’d that go?
Yeah that is why Fauci was working with facebook to remove any posts talking about the possibility that it came from a lab.
People are so easily conned.
“On your mind”, while keeping secret that YOU funded gain of function weapons research and did a full court press of propaganda to tell us it evolved naturally and to call us racists.
And you persisted as our culture and economy and freedom was being systematically destroyed.
No forgiveness for this.
Wow can they back peddle any faster, can get out of this mess they created. No one will ever believe the fed gov again
I don't doubt that. The last time a government official was as concerned about the details of a DNA test it involved a bodily fluid and a blue dress.
Scrambling aren’t they.
Of course the leak was on Fauci’s mind as he was actively trying to cover it up! Stupid.

Top US Medical Adviser Dr Anthony Fauci was informed in Feb 2020, COVID-19 exhibited characteristics that suggested it could have been genetically altered in a lab, according to bombshell emails published.
“It is an extraordinary acknowledgement; it is incomprehensible for a public health official, charged with protecting public health to take this position, but that’s what he has done,” she said.
“These emails show that in the very early stages of the pandemic - in early 2020 - he became concerned that the finding for gain-of-function research in the US had flown to Wuhan.
“And we see there’s a flurry of emails where he’s trying to find out whether he could be responsible or whether the NIH could be responsible for funding the research that might have created the virus that has leaked.”
Ms Markson said it was “a real possibility” American funding under Anthony Fauci “funded a virus that might have leaked that has resulted in this global pandemic”.
