How Fauci Faked a Consensus to Discredit the Lab Leak Theory
New emails reveal that Dr Anthony Fauci secretly commissioned a scientific paper to hide his likely involvement in COVID-19’s origins.
Until his retirement at the end of last year, Dr Anthony Fauci was the highest-paid employee of the United States Federal Government. The world’s most recognisable doctor and the face of the pandemic took home a tidy US$400,000 salary for his roles as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and chief medical advisor to the president.
But according to new emails uncovered by House Republicans probing the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, Fauci is also a monumental fraud, having used his powerful position to manufacture a false consensus to discredit the lab leak theory.
It has long been known that Fauci’s department funded risky coronavirus bat research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), in the city where the COVID-19 outbreak began. Under Fauci’s watch, millions of American taxpayer dollars were funnelled to the Wuhan lab through EcoHealth Alliance, a non-profit led by Peter Daszak, a friend of Fauci’s.
Fauci has been all too eager to bury his connections to the Wuhan lab: it would be a disaster if COVID’s greatest ‘hero’ — a man who claims to represent science itself — turned out to be the virus’ de facto creator.
Remember when Fauci kept doing interviews and saying "I am The Science"?
Is there any more alpha response to personal criticism?

Fauci’s Secret Conference Call
According to the newly uncovered emails, Fauci was alerted by Professor Kristian Anderson of Scripps Research that some of the features of the SARS-CoV-2 virus look “possibly engineered”, and that Anderson and his team “all find the genome inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory”.
Immediately, Fauci set about discrediting any notion that SARS-CoV-2 could have leaked from the Wuhan lab. He and Francis Collins, then director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), organised a conference call with at least 11 virologists, including Andersen. On that call, Fauci and Collins commissioned a team led by Anderson to author an article “trying to disprove any type of lab theory”.
Anderson and his colleagues agreed. Within days, they made a 180-degree reversal on their previous assessment of COVID-19. On 16 February, 2020, they published their paper, titled “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” in Nature Medicine, arguing the virus arose naturally. They had first sent the article to Fauci for editing in draft form and again for final approval before it went to press.

Allegedly Bribery by Fauci
The one key player not invited on the conference call, and left out of all email correspondence, was Dr Robert Redfield, then director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) — whom Fauci knew was a strong advocate of the lab leak theory. Redfield certainly should have been kept in the loop, given that just days before the call, he had been invited on to the White House Coronavirus Task Force.
Eight weeks later, Fauci stood at a White House press conference alongside President Donald Trump and cited the very paper he commissioned as ‘evidence’ the lab leak theory was implausible — in effect, quoting himself — all the while pretending it had nothing to do with him and that he did not know the authors.
Watch Fauci’s fakery here:
The scandal goes deeper still.
On 21 May, 2020, several months after the Nature Medicine article was published, Dr Kristian Anderson’s lab in California was awarded a US$8.9 million research grant from Fauci’s department, the NIAID.
Anderson has since claimed he was hasty in assuming the virus was engineered, and that the findings in his Nature Medicine paper were the result of “more extensive analyses”. In truth, Anderson wrote that paper in a matter of days — immediately after the conference call with Fauci, and prior to receiving millions in grant money from the agency led by Fauci.
Why Did Fauci Try to Cover His Tracks?
To this day, “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” remains a touchstone paper, widely cited by legacy press outlets and other special interests eager to discredit the lab leak theory.
It wasn’t the only questionable paper to be published by a science journal to frame the lab leak theory as quackery.
On 7 March, 2020, The Lancet printed its now infamous open letter from 27 scientists claiming they “overwhelmingly conclude” the pandemic had a natural origin, and condemning as “conspiracy theories” any suggestions that SARS-CoV-2 leaked from a lab.
Dishonestly, those 27 scientists neglected to mention that the man who organised their statement was Peter Daszak — the friend of Fauci’s who channeled U.S. funds to gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab.
What any honest observer should be asking is, if SARS-CoV-2 didn’t leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, why did men like Daszak, Collins and most of all Fauci try so hard to hide their connections to the lab in Wuhan?
Moreover, why does the legacy press keep laundering their lies?

Trump has not only reversed misguided Biden-era policies related to life and family, but has also advanced socially conservative policies at a pace few anticipated. Given the breadth of action taken, it is worth summarising these recent developments.
You raise simple intelligent questions Kurt and clearly you follow His spirit.
Denial is a psychological defence and it is time now for us to lay it aside or run the risk of becoming trapped in the great delusion. I keep in mind that sometimes the truth is so unspeakable, so horrific that my fear can hold me captive to lies. Now thankfully…..I can hear His voice and follow His light as He shows me His will…… for me.
As the saying goes, follow the money.
Despicable characters.
Collins, in his robes of Christianity is SO responsible for the next move they made, convincing people that the only Christian thing to do was to take the jab.
thanks Kurt.
