Dr. Anthony Fauci willing to entertain non-natural causes for the coronavirus

| May 23, 2021

PolitiFact’s Katie Sanders asked Dr. Anthony Fauci if he was confident that COVID-19 developed naturally. Anthony Fauci indicated willingness to support investigations on a possible non-natural cause for this pandemic. Many among the conservatives believe that this was deliberately developed in a lab and released. PolitiFact appeared to want to put their name behind arguments that “this was not the case”.

From Fox News:

Fauci did not explicitly rule out such a possibility: “I do not have any accounting of what the Chinese may have done, and I’m fully in favor of any further investigation of what went on in China,” he said. “However, I will repeat again, the NIH and NIAID categorically has not funded gain of function research to be conducted in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Paul had claimed that funding through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) had been funneled to controversial Wuhan Institute of Virology — the Chinese lab that is believed to have played a role in the initial outbreak of COVID-19. Paul specifically zeroed in on gain of function research — which works on making pathogens deadlier or more easily transmissible. He alleged that a U.S. virologist had been working with the Chinese institute on such research and said it was funded by the NIH.

Fauci said at the fact-checking event that Paul had been “conflating… in a way that’s almost irresponsible” collaborative research into Sars-Cov-1, which emerged in China in the early 2000s, with Chinese scientists.

Trump administration officials and Republicans on the Hill have long argued there is a high chance COVID-19 was the result of a lab leak. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the lab leak theory “extremely unlikely” last week, but even Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO chief, has said the research team’s assessment on whether the virus entered the human population following a laboratory incident was not “extensive enough” and requires further investigation.

Fox News has more on this event.

That is a face that needs to be slapped, hard enough to leave a hand print and welt.

Bison Bagels. This Chinesecommunist Originated Virus Infecting Disease of 2019 was a deliberate act of War, by a foreign enemy, aided and abetted by the domestic enemies of our Country…and the World as a whole. And for those that don’t believe that the Chinese Communist would release a pathogen like this around the own people, keep in mind; The Chinese Communists have ZERO (0) respect for the lives of their peons…and even less for any other race. Anybody else remember the “Human Wave” attacks of the Korean War? They could lose a billion people and still outnumber us. Their stated goal is World Domination.

And “Doctor” Fakey? PHUQUE HEEM!

F*ck Fauci…

Fauci is fucked up worse than a soup sandwich… and is a blight on the medical profession.

Fauci is no longer a scientist or a doctor but just another bureaucrat who wants to control your life.

Developed in a lab by the CCP? No doubt in my mind since day one.

As far as it being released, I still think it was a “whoopsie” moment, and they just had to try to cover it up and run with it best they could.

What’s more concerning is what other kinds of nasty little experiments they’re still moving forward with in their labs. Seriously doubt they have drastically upgraded their QA capabilities.

I’m honestly convinced that this whole mudda-fuckin’ shebang has been a biowarfare experiment by the Communist Chinese and a few others.

Fucking numbers on this site gotta be dwindling from peddling dumb shit like this…

Where are the old school TAH people to stop these dudes from posting shit like this…

Fjardeson

Amen, brother. C19 was proven a zoonotic last year, this is just noise…

Fauci’s waffling and politically convenient decrees are the fault of TAH? Please explain.

Wuhan hospitals were really busy in October 2019, 3 months before China announced the spread of COVID 19.
A lot of internet activity then searching the Chinese internet search engine for diarrhea and cough, symptoms of COVID.
My wife and I flew to Dumaguete City, Philippines the end of January 2020 to spend February at our other house near the beach.

Prior to our arrival, 2 Chinese citizens from Wuhan, traveling early to celebrate the Chinese New Year (25 Jan 20), were stricken, hospitalized, transported to Manila and died.
