Investigative reporters in the US have uncovered some rather interesting news:
A new report on the origins of COVID has put Fauci in a tight spot.
The report quotes US government sources as saying the first people with COVID were Wuhan Institute of Virology scientists working on gain-of-function research. Research Fauci was prohibited from funding by Barack Obama in 2014, but he found a loophole and funded anyway.
Michael Shellenberger and Matt Taibbi reported: “After years of official pronouncements to the contrary, strong new evidence has emerged suggesting the virus known as SARS-CoV-2 escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
“According to multiple U.S. government officials interviewed as part of a lengthy investigation by Public and Racket, the first people infected by the virus, “patients zero,” included Ben Hu, a researcher who led the WIV’s “gain-of-function” research on SARS-like coronaviruses, which increases the infectiousness of viruses.

“Now, answers increasingly look within reach. Sources within the US government say that three of the earliest people to become infected with SARS-CoV-2 were Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu. All were members of the Wuhan lab suspected to have leaked the pandemic virus.
“As such, not only do we know there were WIV scientists who had developed COVID-19-like illnesses in November 2019, but also that they were working with the closest relatives of SARS-CoV-2, and inserting gain-of-function features unique to it.
