Dr. Anthony Fauci denied that health officials “deliberately suppressed” theories that COVID-19 came from a laboratory — insisting he always encouraged scientists to have an “open mind” while investigating its origins.
“If you go back then, even though you lean towards feeling this is more likely a natural occurrence, we always felt that you gotta keep an open mind — all of us,” Fauci said Wednesday on “CBS This Morning.”
“We didn’t get up and start announcing it, but what we said, ‘Keep an open mind and continue to look.’ So I think it’s a bit of a distortion to say that we deliberately suppressed that,” he said.
The White House chief medical adviser, however, publicly rejected the lab-leak theory in the early months of the pandemic, insisting last year that “everything” points to the virus coming from nature.
“If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what’s out there now, [the scientific evidence] is very, very strongly leaning toward this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated,” Fauci told National Geographic in May 2020.
“Everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature and then jumped species,” the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said.
He said at the time that he didn’t believe an “an alternate theory — that someone found the coronavirus in the wild, brought it to a lab, and then it accidentally escaped.”

February 16, 2020: Senator Tom Cotton talks about the Chinese cover up and Wuhan lab

Fauci is an incredibly obvious liar.
Fauci’s pants are definitely smoking.
Well apparently they did just to hurt Trump. Great going guys. Better to have a few million dead then an American first effective political outsider as president. Because science...
Yep
Fauci is a slimy snake.
Luc Montagnier is a virologist who won the Nobel for his work in HIV spoke publicly about how scientists were being forced to retract their statements about the virus being man made.
BTW Fauci claimed the US should get credit for Montagnier’s discovery but the work was all based on Montagnier’s original sample - something Fauci tried to hide.
Everything this MF’er has said is a flat out lie.
Every word.

Fauci is lying, again.
So they did it out of stupidity?
Liar
I think fauci is lying again.
As long as the suppression was accidental, and he wasn’t intentionally trying to cover up his misdeeds, then it should be ok.
Wait ‘til next week - he’ll change.
Then, the next week it’ll change again.
Rinse, repeat ad infinitum.
He’s right. Scientists didn’t suppress it.
Politicians and media did. Some pretend to be scientists.
So they just “accidentally” suppressed it then?
They really think we are stupid. Well, I guess at least 50% of the time, they are correct.
When will Fauci be fired? They have talked about that possibility long enough without taking action.
You are no scientist, FauXi, you’re an overpaid, lying, politically biased bureaucrat.
