Fauci Was Told Early on That Wuhan Coronavirus Looked 'Engineered'

New emails obtained by Buzzfeed through a Freedom of Information Act show National Institute of Health Director Dr. Anthony Fauci was told by NIH scientist Kristian Andersen on January 31, 2020 that Wuhan coronavirus looked "Potentially engineered." In other words, it was manipulated in a lab through gain of function research.

On April 18, 2020, three months after being told the virus looked engineered, Fauci told reporters at the White House, unequivocally, it didn't come from a lab.

"There was a study recently that we can make available to you, where a group of highly qualified evolutionary virologists looked at the sequences there and the sequences in bats as they evolve. And the mutations that it took to get to the point where it is now is totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human," Fauci said.

In newly FOIA'd emails, there are at least two instances of Fauci sending colleagues a paper about "Gain of function" research potentially being relevant to COVID. Back when mentioning this prospect got you banned from social media and labeled a conspiracy theorist pic.

Told colleagues retail masks don't work due to size of virus.

Ignored scientist who told him China was lying about virus and data.

Fauci also repeatedly denied funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, but discussed the dangerous experiments in emails from February 2020.
