For one, I read somewhere Dr. Fauci is the highest paid government employee in the US. His salary is higher than that of the president.
Second fact, Dr. Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), through a subagency EcoHealth funded gain-of-function research into manipulating bat COVID to be more transmissible to humans.
For context, in 2014, the Obama administration temporarily suspended federal funding for gain-of-function research into manipulating bat COVID to be more transmissible to humans. Four months prior to that decision, the NIH shifted this research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) via a grant to nonprofit group EcoHealth Alliance, headed by Peter Daszak.
Former CDC Director Robert Redfield says that SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes COVID-19, did not originate from a wet market in Wuhan, China, and instead escaped from a nearby lab which was performing gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses to make them more easily infect humans.
On the other hand, Dr. Anthony Fauci said during a White House press briefing that 'most scientists believe COVID-19 didn't come from a lab,' contradicting viral comments to CNN by former CDC Director Robert Redfield.
So, who do you believe?
