Fauci, Feds tried to quash COVID lab leak origin theory--protecting Chinese interests over American lives
Fox News
Reporting this week from Fox News' Bret Baier and “Special Report” exposed new evidence that public health officials deliberately misled the American public about the nature and origin of COVID-19.
The origins of COVID-19 matter. We're different in America … We're not supposed to be like China
The effort to suppress this narrative in favor of China rather than the truth was unmistakable. Despite what we now know was credible belief among some scientists that the virus came from the Wuhan Lab, NIH Director Francis Collins in March 2020 called the lab leak theory "outrageous." Facebook actively suppressed reporting on the theory, slapping "false information" warnings on credible journalism, listing as "debunked" reporting that was true, and outright banning posts on the topic until May 2021. That's something China does, not something America does.
