Yes, that’s correct. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S’s top infectious disease expert, has strongly denied accusations that he sought to suppress any theories regarding COVID-19’s origin. Dr. Fauci has always maintained that all possibilities should be investigated, including the theory that the virus accidentally escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China. He has said that the most likely scenario is that the virus jumped from animals to humans, but has not ruled out other possibilities.
These accusations came to light during the release of several of his emails under a Freedom of Information Act request. Critics have said that these emails show him disregarding the lab leak theory, but Dr. Fauci refutes this claim. It’s important to note that the origin of COVID-19 is still under investigation by the World Health Organization and U.S. intelligence agencies.
