A member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force said the Chinese regime misled the world months ago when it said that the virus was only spread through animal-to-human transmission even though there were numerous cases of human-to-human transmission.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious diseases expert in the United States, said that after the pandemic subsides, the United States will investigate the early claims made by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
“[W]hen we finally did get the virus here, it [became] clear that when we started looking [at what] was going on, [there] was misinformation right from the beginning,” Fauci told Fox News on Saturday. “So whose ever fault that was, you know, we’re gonna go back and take a look at that when this is all over.
Fauci added that “clearly, it was not the right information that was given to us” by the CCP.
“The end result was that early on we did not get correct information and the incorrect information was propagated right from the beginning because, you know, when the first cases came out that were identified, I think on Dec. 31 in China, and we became aware of this,” Fauci said. “They said this was just animal to human, period. Now, we know retrospectively that there was ongoing transmission from human to human in China, probably at least a few weeks before then.”
The CCP virus was actually a highly contagious disease that was being seeded by Chinese travelers in mid-January to Europe and the United States.

Dr. Fauci covers his bets.
It is not reasonable for Fauci to have relied on known-false CCP data. The whole world knew China lied, and Fauci had the US shut down based on those lies. He may well be a CCP agent.
No mention of the false information propagated by him. And that is an ongoing problem.
That’s been frustrating Rush the past two weeks. The “experts” are never wrong. They can always cite a change in the model or the data.
Lol, I wake this morning to FR threads with Fauci quotes ‘People died because of early in action’. Now it’s, ya know it’s all on CCP. It’s their fault
Said don't worry about it...chances are miniscule.
This is the man responsible for many deaths with his "anecdotal" statement. He does indeed have blood on his hands. And Cuomo does, too.
I don’t think Fauci is saying they relied on that misinformation to shut the US down. The chinese corrected the misinformation before the first case was recognized in the U.S.
I think Fauci is saying the misinformation led to a slower response. The US doesn’t need to respond at all to an animal to human virus in China. So China wasted valuable weeks that the US might have been preparing.
Fauci is also saying it would have been better if we had locked down earlier. But imagine the outcry from people like you if they had locked down three weeks before they did when there were much fewer cases and deaths.
And, that inaccurate information came from Fauchi.
C. Y. A.??Fauci??
Fauci should have been focusing on testing much earlier.
If he got the tests right, many other issues could have been avoided.
He has no excuse for the late start on testing—none.
It would have been a waste of resources just like it is right now.
Another word for his butt?
Just found out this lil tidbit of info very interesting
Why is the NIH giving Wuhan money, perhaps this is why Dr Doom is trying so hard to cover his ass
Fauci saw his shadow, so we have 4 more weeks of social distancing.
Arrest him, try him and execute punishment to the fullest extent of the law under the jurisdictions in each of the fifty states which have suffered under his maleficence.
What I would like to know is, where was Adam Schiff and his intelligence committee?
If China told the truth we would have shut down sooner.
You should be thanking the CCP if you didn't want a shutdown.
Perhaps that he doesn't run the CDC might play a factor.
But can he see his image in a mirror?
Jus askin for friend.
