Fauci Denies Allegations of Influencing COVID-19 Origin Research, Lab Leak Theory
Jun 3, 2024, 07:17 PM
Dr. Anthony Fauci, former top U.S. infectious disease expert, testified before a U.S. House panel, denying allegations that he sought to influence scientists' research about the origins of COVID-19. Fauci called the claims that he tried to sway scientists away from concluding that the virus stemmed from lab manipulation 'absolutely false and simply preposterous.' He outright denied having any influence on overseas research into the origins of COVID-19 and rejected accusations related to his COVID-19 response. Fauci also denied suppressing the lab leak theory that the virus originated from a lab in China and distanced himself from an adviser accused of misconduct.
