National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday on “CBS This Morning” that it was “a bit of a distortion to say that we deliberately suppressed” the so-called lab leak theory that coronavirus originated from a lab in Wuhan, China.

Co-host Tony Dokoupil said, “We also asked Dr. Fauci about competing theories on the origin of the coronavirus, including the idea that it started not in nature but in a lab in Wuhan, China.”

Fauci acknowledged the effect polling had on his public statements in a recent interview, saying he upped the percentage of people he thought needed to be vaccinated by about 10% from what he previously declared to the public.

“When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75%,” Fauci said. “Then, when newer surveys said 60% or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so I went to 80, 85.”

Didn’t Fauci deny ANY gain of function research?

Hmmm. It's "distortion" but not an outright lie?

Distortion is a pretty weak denial. Distortion is what happens when you try to read through the wrong glasses. It can mean out of focus. It can be like looking through a glass of water. You can see what you are looking at and you know what it is but the image is distorted. Thus, he is admitting it.

I literally was suspended from Twitter for arguing this very issue. I was eventually banned for asking for “them random control, peer reviewed studies on the efficacy of face coverings on viruses that are transmitted in aerosol fashion”...but hey follow Dr Science.

Yes. “...a bit of a distortion....” is VERY different from “...there is no way that happened....”

He’s weaseling. I hope Rand Paul and Tucker Carlson succeed in bringing him down to shame and humiliation. After the harm he has done to our country, as well as possibly being responsible for Biden’s POTUS “win”.
