Despite Trump's new round of bullying, Fauci says COVID likely didn't leak from a Chinese lab
Former President Trump, perhaps trying to divert attention from his own disastrous handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, is now lashing out against Dr. Anthony Fauci for allegedly failing to seriously consider that the virus might have originated from Chinas Wuhan lab, rather than from an animals transmission to humans.
But judging from what Fauci told me in a June 4 interview, the most respected U.S. infectious diseases expert has not yet seen any convincing evidence that the virus may have escaped from a Chinese lab.
Fauci, who heads the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and is a top medical adviser to President Biden, said, It is more likely that much like SARS, ebola, influenza and HIV COVID-19 originated from an animal reservoir and jumped species to humans. He added, Theres the possibility that it came from the lab, but I believe that thats a much less likely possibility.
In the interview, scheduled to be aired Sunday , June 13 n Oppenheimer Presenta on CNN en Español, Fauci said that its important to try to find out the exact origin of the pandemic, so that we can prevent it from happening again.
