Fauci DEFENDS China and says it's 'far fetched' to think they'd 'deliberately engineer something to kill themselves' - as he doubles down on animal origins of COVID and dismisses 'out-of-context' smoking gun emails

Dr. Anthony Fauci doubled down on claims that the coronavirus likely originated from an animal then was transmitted to humans in a Thursday morning interview on CNN, despite increasing speculation that it leaked from a China lab.

Fauci, who served under former President Trump and President Joe Biden, continues to fight the idea that he downplayed theories that the virus originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology after a trove of emails exchange at the beginning of the pandemic revealed he was warned about a potential lab leak.

'I have always said and will say today to you ... that I still believe the most likely origin is from an animal species to a human,' Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Thursday on CNN.

Although he said he's keeping an open mind about the possibility of a lab leak, Fauci said it was 'far-fetched' to think the Chinese would kill their own people.

'The idea, I think, is quite far-fetched that the Chinese deliberately engineered something so that they could kill themselves, as well as other people. I think that’s a bit far out.'

In a separate Thursday morning interview on MSNBC, Fauci said they want to definitively find the cause of the coronavirus pandemic - whatever that origin is - but pointing the finger at China isn't going to help.

'It's in China's interest to find out exactly what it is,' Fauci said. 'Obviously, you want openness and cooperation. One of the ways to get it is not to be accusatory. Try to get a forensic, scientific and investigational approach. I think the accusatory part about it is only going to make (China) pull back more.'

China needs to be rid of about three-quarters of a billion people. It would not surprise me to learn that COVID-19 was developed for that purpose, killing the aged, weak and medically compromised (useless eaters in communist terms) while the younger, healthy and fit (the “workers”) generally recover.

When it escaped prematurely they saw a target of opportunity, to test it on the rest of the world. So they allowed or encouraged travel from Wuhan to other countries but not to the rest of China.

How many Chinese were killed in the Cultural Revolution?

How many of his own people did Joseph Stalin kill?

About the first article to be censored that I’m aware of us was Chinese researchers saying that Covid-19 impacts Asians less than it does others.

Seen any obese chinese people lately? I suppose they have 90 year olds but I doubt they care about killing them. They're no longer productive peasants.

The question of whether it escaped from the lab is different from whether it was deliberately released. Fauci is conflating the two, so as to make it easier for himself to portray people backing the lab leak theory as kookie. It will of course work with the idiots who watch CNN.

It isn’t far fetched to think the CCP would work to engineer a bio weapon.

And if so, it isn’t far fetched to think the CCP would work to keep any such research under wraps.

It isn’t far fetched to think the CCP thought they would be able to contain any rogue viruses they might invent.

It isn’t far fetched to think the CCP would eff up said containment measures.

Thanks to Dr FoulCheese’s opinion, the same opinion that gave the CCP their research grant in the first place, millions of people are dead and the world economy has been dealt multi-year damage. Ain’t that kewl? Let’s all chant a big “oopsie”, shall we?

A country that murders 60-120 million of its own people has zero scruples about murdering anyone anywhere, ESPECIALLY its own citizens.

It is the same Communist Party. They haven’t changed. They will still murder people if it suits them.

I was wondering today if they were letting people go to other countries early on in the pandemic to try and muddy the waters of origin.

(Fauci).. says it's 'far fetched' to think they'd 'deliberately engineer something to kill themselves'

But of course. They were deliberately engineering something that would preferentially kill non-Chinese.

It got loose in a very early prototype stage because of sloppy lab procedures. And the prototype was nowhere near as selective nor as lethal as they expected it might be.

They did exploit the crisis to amplify the spread of the disease around the world, once they realized they could not control the spread in their own country.

The Chinese rulers would not shy away from losing 500 million of their own people if they could exterminate 4 billion non-Chinese with a plague. I expect they will try again.

Fauci was a terrible economist, and now he’s pretending to be a China expert. I guess all the media is going to his head.

Well, if China viewed human beings the way that westerners do this might be the case, but it simply is not.

If he claims the emails were taken out of context, then every one of his emails should be released without redactions.

I know but he is taking the most extreme possibility of the lab theory(they released it on purpose) and using that to call any possible lab related origin crazy (like accidental leak)

He’s fighting removal at this point, if he’s answering old questions. He’ll be gone before the Mid-Terms start after Labor Day.

China could lose 10 million people and not even blink. The old folks in particular. Thank about it.
