After years of official claims to the contrary, strong new evidence suggests the virus known as SARS-CoV-2 escaped from a Chinese lab. According to multiple sources, the researchers who led gain-of-function research, which increases infectiousness, were the first to be infected.

The internal documents show that Fauci’s allies knew they couldn’t prove there had been a natural spillover, and believed a lab leak was possible long after they claimed otherwise publicly. Imagine what the unreleased documents show.

Scientists studying Covid's origin told Congress last week that they were practicing science. But newly released private messages show Fauci's advisors knew they couldn't show a natural spillover had occurred and thought a lab leak was possible long after claiming otherwise.

Fauci played the media like a fiddle. They called the lab lead a “conspiracy theory.” Then, documents showed that Fauci’s main allies had sought to insert a furin cleavage site in the exact place where it exists on the Covid virus. Reason #7,969 for why the legacy media is dead.

The idea that bioweapons research caused Covid was debunked, people say. But it wasn't. New documents show scientists sought to insert a furin cleavage site right where it exists on SARS-CoV-2, and they'd been funded in the past by Anthony Fauci, who oversaw bioweapons research.

Fauci led an aggressive disinformation effort to discredit the lab leak hypothesis. If the Covid virus didn’t escape from the lab, why did he deliberately spread false or misleading information about it? Why did he repeatedly interfere in the investigation?

Anthony Fauci, who oversaw America's response to the Covid pandemic, famously said, "I represent the science." But new evidence suggests that Fauci was behind a disinformation campaign to dismiss evidence that the virus escaped from a Chinese lab. @galexybrane

Biden pardoned Fauci. He says it’s not an admission of guilt. But if Fauci were innocent, no pardon would be needed. The evidence suggests Fauci helped create the Covid pandemic, and then covered it up. The investigation must go forward. All Covid & Fauci Files must be released.

Fauci said he had an "open mind" about Covid's origin, but he didn't. A new, months-long investigation by Racket and Public reveals that Fauci secretly lobbied the CIA, State Department, and White House to reject the theory that Covid came from the Chinese lab his agency funded.

The statement is accusatory and demands transparency regarding the origins of COVID-19, specifically implicating scientists in Wuhan and Dr. Fauci. It suggests a cover-up and calls for the release of documents.
