Dr. Anthony Fauci admitted to reporters that scientists in early 2020 were already beginning to acknowledge that Coronavirus could be lab-created. Fauci told USA Today that he joined a call with other scientists on Feb. 1, 2020 and they discussed the nature of the virus and its possible origins. The call was mere days after the World Health Organization raised the alert level on COVID-19, calling it a public health emergency of international concern.

Fox News reports:

In an email to Fauci the day before the call, and reviewed by Fox News, Andersen wrote, “The unusual features of the virus make up a really small part of the genome (<0.1%) so one has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features (potentially) look engineered.”

In the email, Andersen added that he and several other experts thought that the genome was “inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory,” but noted that “those opinions could still change” following further analyses.

Fauci told USA Today this week that the meeting was “a very productive back-and-forth conversation where some on the call felt it could possibly be an engineered virus.” Fauci said others on the call felt the evidence was “heavily weighted” toward a natural, zoonotic transmission.

“I always had an open mind,” Fauci told USA Today. “Even though I felt then, and still do, the most likely origin was in an animal host.” But days after the teleconference, according to an email obtained by USA Today, Andersen had changed his position, saying the data “conclusively show” that the virus was not engineered.

Fauci’s latest admission highlights exactly why a majority of American have lost faith in him as well as the CDC.
