(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. It was not until mid-2021, well after Democrats had retaken the White House, that mainstream media outlets began to acknowledge it as a possibility.
One focal point of the issue has been Fauci, formerly director of the National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases (NIAID), given his role in supporting the research that may have eventually led to COVID by approving funding for medical non-government organization EcoHealth Alliance to explore gain-of-function (GOF) research, which entails intentionally strengthening viruses to better study their potential effects, on coronaviruses, at several sites, including WIV.
