Covid 19 conspiracies dump

I'd love to see the quote of Fauci actually saying that.

 So would I.

However members of professions, such as doctors, scientists, lawyers, academics etc can be very prickly. Part of the reason is that professions usually have a dominant power paradigm. Change often tends to be revolutionary rather than evolutionary. Have a look at say the history of science and of medicine.

Having said that, I find it hard to believe Dr Fauci said any such thing.  In his public utterances I've read he comes across as objective  and very professional, often in the face vocal and ignorant criticism.

I also found it shocking that Fauci said such a thing, and I don't blame you for questioning such an insane quote, but you know google exists and you might want to use that before going on the attack against me. I'm glad that we can at least agree that this would be some of the most clownish propaganda if Fauci did say it... so here you are.

On Wednesday, the NIH sent a letter to members of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce that acknowledged two facts. One was that EcoHealth Alliance, a New York City–based nonprofit that partners with far-flung laboratories to research and prevent the outbreak of emerging diseases, did indeed enhance a bat coronavirus to become potentially more infectious to humans, which the NIH letter described as an “unexpected result” of the research it funded that was carried out in partnership with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The NIH based these disclosures on a research progress report that EcoHealth Alliance sent to the agency in August, roughly two years after it was supposed to. An NIH spokesperson told Vanity Fair that Dr. Fauci was “entirely truthful in his statements to Congress,” and that he did not have the progress report that detailed the controversial research at the time he testified in July. But EcoHealth Alliance appeared to contradict that claim, and said in a statement: “These data were reported as soon as we were made aware, in our year four report in April 2018.”
