(LifeSiteNews) – Former White House COVID-19 adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci had been apprised of reason to suspect that the COVID virus was linked to research he had subsidized at China’s embattled Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) as early as January 2020 despite publicly rejecting the possibility for months, a newly-uncovered email shows.
Publicly, the theory that COVID escaped from a Chinese lab (as opposed to evolving in nature) was widely mocked and dismissed ever since Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas floated it in February 2020, and for months any suggestion of it was condemned as misinformation.
