The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic says former White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci may have been trying to bury the COVID-19 lab leak theory.

Newly released emails show Fauci commissioned a paper to “disprove” the Wuhan lab leak theory.

From The New York Post:

The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released evidence Sunday that Fauci ordered, helped to edit, and gave final approval to a paper titled “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2,” which was published on Feb. 17, 2020. Exactly two months later, Fauci used that same publication to wave away concerns that the virus might have come from a Chinese facility.

Fauci, then director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, pointed reporters on April 17, 2020, to a paper by “a group of highly qualified evolutionary virologists” published in Nature Medicine that showed the coronavirus had “mutations” that were “totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human.”

Fauci also told the White House press corps that “the paper will be available. I don’t have the authors right now, but we can make it available to you.”

One of the paper’s co-authors, Dr. Kristian Andersen, said Fauci was one of several big scientific names who “prompted” him to write the study to debunk the lab leak theory, according to a cover email submitted with the article to Nature Medicine on Feb. 12, 2020.

The lab leak theory has gained new traction in recent weeks as a U.S. Department of Energy study found that a lab leak in Wuhan, China is likely the most probable scenario for COVID’s release.

House Judiciary chair Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) shared the story on Twitter.

“Was Fauci trying to cover up the #COVID lab leak theory? And if so, why?”
