Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday defended the US giving hundreds of thousands of dollars for research at a Wuhan lab studying whether bat coronaviruses could be transmitted to humans — saying that it would have been “negligent” not to do so.
“It was a… proposal that was peer-reviewed and given a very high rating for the importance of why it should be done,” Fauci told CNN anchor Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”
“[The proposal was] to be able to go and do a survey of what was going on among the bat population because everyone in the world was trying to figure out what the original source of the original SARS CoV-1 was,” he continued.

Fauci, who is the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, argued that it was necessary to pursue the research.
“It was almost as if you didn’t pursue that research you would be negligent because you were trying to find out how you could prevent this from happening again,” Fauci said.
Fauci added that it was critical that the research occurred in China since that’s where SARS first emerged.
“If we were starting to look for bats in Secaucus, New Jersey, or Fairfax County, Virginia, it wouldn’t contribute very much to the standing of where SARS COV-1 originated,” Fauci said.

He’s also indicating that such research was funded and begun AFTER Covid-19 was already circulating among humans.
Jane Fonda has called Covid-19 Satan’s gift to the Democrats.
Because Biden 2020 needed the help to oust Trump.
Anthony Fauci should be made to pay for funding the research at Wuhan Lab. That funding resulted in a worldwide pandemic that killed millions. Now he is being touted as an expert in what to do. He should be quiet and stay that way.
