Dr. Anthony Fauci falsely claimed that a February 2020 letter on COVID-19’s origins did not dismiss the Wuhan lab leak hypothesis, despite the letter signed by dozens of scientists clearly condemning the idea.
Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was asked during an appearance on BBC One’s Sunday Morning about the scientists who signed the February 2020 letter in the Lancet condemning theories suggesting COVID-19 didn’t have a natural origin and whether the scientific community was too quick to dismiss the lab leak possibility.“I don’t think they were dismissing it. I think it’s been misinterpreted. Everyone has always kept an open mind,” Fauci said.
In July 2021, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus admitted there was a"premature push" to dismiss the lab escape possibility, but China has repeatedly shot down another investigation.Scientists consulting with the U.S. government early in the pandemic believed COVID-19 originating from a lab in Wuhan was possible or even likely, but Fauci and then-NIH Director Francis Collins worked to shut the hypothesis down.
But in another email from the same day, Ron Fouchier, the deputy head of the Erasmus MC Department of Viroscience, warned that lab leak discussions could"do unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular.” “Wondering if there is something NIH can do to help put down this very destructive conspiracy, with what seems to be growing momentum," Collins wrote.But when asked about the possibility of a lab leak during a White House press conference that day, Fauci argued in favor of a natural origin.
