Dr. Fauci's Testimony on COVID Origins and Denial of Gain of Function Research

During his testimony on Capitol Hill, Dr. Fauci denied any involvement of gain of function research in COVID's origins, despite evidence suggesting otherwise. He also downplayed the possibility of a lab leak as the source of the virus. Many question his honesty and accountability in light of his contradictory statements and the funding of studies that proposed an animal-borne origin of the virus. It is widely believed that Fauci's denial serves to protect his reputation and the interests of pharmaceutical companies who profited from COVID vaccines.
