Lab leak

Over the past four years a lot of misinformation and outright lying has been uncovered about the pandemic and one of the most egregious centers around the origin of the virus. On January 31, 2020 a leading virologist, Kristian Andersen, sent an email to Fauci saying, One has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features looked engineered. Eddie, Bob and myself all find the genome inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory. The other three are Eddie Holmes, Bob Garry and Mike Farzan all virologists whom Fauci knew on a first name basis. Two hours later at midnight Fauci emailed his second in command Dr Hugh Auchincloss saying it was essential that they meet in the morning. At 3 AM Fauci sent an email to Dr Robert Kadlec at Health and Human Services and attached an article arguing against the lab leak and for natural evolution. He said, Bob this came out today and gives us a balanced view. Within days, after further discussions with Fauci Andersen and friends came to a different conclusion. They evolved from thinking the virus came from a lab and instead promoted the idea that it was from natural evolution. Discussions regarding the lab leak were banned on social media and scientist dismissed the lab leak theory as they feared a ban on high risk experiments.
