That, we now know, thanks in part to the release of thousands of pages of Fauci emails, was a lie, and Fauci is starting to look a lot more like the person former President Donald Trump described: the "King of flip-flops," who "Got a lot wrong," a "Self-promoter" and a "Disaster."
Of course, the press had long ago decided that Fauci was a "National treasure," and just as it treated the lab-leak theory as a Trump-fueled conspiracy, it called Trump's attacks "Unbelievably idiotic." But Fauci's lies and misinformation are starting to pile up, calls are mounting for him to be fired.
Fauci had already admitted that he'd lied to the public about masks and vaccinations.
One email to Fauci was from the director of the Scripps Research Institute, who told Fauci that "After discussions earlier today, Eddie, Bob, Mike, and myself all find the genome inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory" and some features looked "Engineered." Those same scientists later published a paper in Nature discounting the lab theory, but admitted that "More scientific data could swing the balance of evidence to favor one hypothesis over another."
One of the newly uncovered emails showed Daszak praising Fauci for downplaying the lab-leak theory.
Fauci vehemently denied that any NIH funds had been spent on such research.
Two weeks later Fauci admitted to another senator that the funds could have been used for gain-of-function research.
