Dr. Fauci Admits He’s ‘Not Convinced’<br />COVID-19 Developed Naturally.<br />Dr. Anthony Fauci, the leading infectious diseases expert in<br />the United States, is questioning the origin of COVID-19.<br />During a Poynter event,<br />“United Facts of America:<br />A Festival of Fact-Checking,”<br />Dr. Fauci was asked whether<br />he was confident the virus<br />developed naturally. .<br />In response, Dr. Fauci admitted<br />that he “wasn’t convinced.” .<br /><br />He instead believes that we should “continue<br />to investigate” COVID-19’s origin.<br />No actually. I am not convinced about that.<br />I think we should continue to investigate what<br />went on in China until we continue to find out<br />to the best of our ability what happened, Dr. Anthony Fauci, via 'NYP'.<br />Dr. Fauci went on to cast doubt on the theory that<br />COVID-19 started in animals, saying that “we need<br />to find [out]” if something else happened.<br />Certainly, the people who investigated it<br />say it likely was the emergence from an<br />animal reservoir that then infected individuals,<br />but it could have been something else, and<br />we need to find that out, Dr. Anthony Fauci, via 'NYP'.<br />So, you know, that’s the reason why I said<br />I’m perfectly in favor of any investigation<br />that looks into the origin of the virus, Dr. Anthony Fauci, via 'NYP'.<br />Dr. Fauci reiterated<br />his support for a “full<br />investigation” during a<br />May 11 Senate hearing. .<br />When asked if it was possible that COVID-19 arose from a<br />lab accident, Dr. Fauci said “that possibility certainly exists.”
