Two-Mask Tony is sticking to his guns.
According to a report from The New York Post, Dr. Anthony Fauci still isn’t ready to concede that COVID-19 originated in a lab despite a new report from the Department of Energy saying it likely did.
From The New York Post:
Fauci, 82, the former White House chief medical adviser, noted that intelligence agencies aren’t aligned on the lab leak theory and have not arrived at a definitive answer to what caused the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We must all keep an open mind to all possibilities” about the origins of the coronavirus, Fauci told The Boston Globe on Monday, adding, “we may never know” the source of the outbreak.
The retired director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases continued: “I don’t see any data for a lab leak. That doesn’t mean it couldn’t have happened.”
Fauci dismissed the lab leak theory early on in the pandemic, saying that the virus likely occurred naturally. The Department of Energy, the FBI, and multiple additional intelligence agencies now support the lab leak theory with some degree of confidence.
