Chief White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci speculated that China likely got rid of an intermediary host that carried the COVID-19 virus between bats and humans when officials cleaned out the live animal market where the virus is theorized to have first caused an infection in humans.
"It was very likely in a host- what the Chinese did, I don't have firsthand knowledge of that, but the people who were reporting it, who investigated what they did is they cleaned out the markets as soon as it turned out that it was clear that there were clusters coming from the market," Fauci told CBS's "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan.
"Which, you know, in typical fashion, I think trying to make sure that things don't get pointed to them, they probably got rid of the animals that were the intermediary hosts there," said Fauci, stressing this possibility as a reason why further cooperation from China on surveillance in live animal markets is needed.

I have read in the past that HIV was likely a Chinese lab created disease that appeared in the Belgian Congo near Lake Tanganyika where Cuban Guerillas were operating near at the time.
He’s a very evil person. God will have His say about Fauci one day.
There was no intermediary host.
It was engineered in a lab and went directly to humans and you know it.
It has taken them a whole year to conjure up this BS. What a lost cause.
Aren’t you dizzy yet from all the spinning?
Likely, theorized, possibility
He’s insinuating that there’s no connection between the lab and the virus because there was some unknown and now eradicated animal connection between the bat and the virus.
These are not logical connections, but Fauci is trying to defer — bat — it away by the suggestion that there was some animal / market intermediary that we can no longer identify because the wet market was decontaminated. It’s like saying that the Lock Ness Monster exists precisely because we can’t find it.
He just admitted it came from the lab, and by extension that the intermediary is a genetic manipulation in the lab. And the only decontamination at play here are the computer drives that were “wiped” between the lab and Fauci.
Words matter, Fauci: it’s well past time to drop the “Saint” from your title.
Who didn’t see this coming...
This is what they will tell the kids in school...!
I thought the blame was first on pangolins?
Nope.
Snakes.
“I don’t have firsthand knowledge of that,”
He has firsthand knowledge.
That is wholly unfair and insulting to every decent real snake, everywhere.
;D
I know how you love and defend our elongated reptilian serpentine friends...
