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.'

Fauci seems to have missed the Cultural Revolution part of Chinese history.

Not only will the Chinese communists kill their own people, they will eat them, torture, execute or starve them to death and/or cut them up for organ's to be sold for spare parts.

During WW2 the Chinese blew up a damn on the Yellow River and killed 800,000 Chinese to stop a Japanese advance. Killing Chinese in large lots doesn’t bother the Chinese government at all. Their population is so big the murdering their own citizens is simply not significant.

China doesn’t need old people, their demographics are already too heavy due the the “one child policy”.

Btw...China just went to the “three child policy”...you know, or at least they do, there’s gonna be a lot of vacant property for cheap in the Inited States.

Think about it. Covid kills the elderly first and foremost.

China just said they will "ALLOW" 3 children per family since birth rates are down. Sounds like they may be creating an army. Do they still have the mandate that only male births are acceptable?

Recall that there were protests that were put to an end with this pandemic and the lockdowns as well...

“A lab leak must = released on purpose to kill themselves??”

Exactly. Many people seem to be conflating the two deliberately.

I thought the theory was China gave this global spread so that they would not be the only economy to take a hit when it was spreading outside the lab.

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.
————————————
He (Fauci) foolishly locked himself into this COVID quandary. He should have just been a scientist and shut up about all the nuances involving mask, closures, and what not. He made himself bigger than the virus itself.

>>millions of people are dead and the world economy has been dealt multi-year damage.

And yet the richest corporatists made TRILLIONS last year and became even richer. Funny, that.

Like a rat, when cornered, the person under assault goes on a blazing, all-guns-firing berserker storm in a bluff to overcome or escape a dangerous adversary.

Sometimes it works.

I don’t think China hesitated when it came to DELIBERATELY welding doors shut with their people inside to KILL them.
