Fauci's Diary Reveals Alleged Suppression of COVID-19 Lab Leak Theory

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Dr. Anthony Fauci's recently released diary, obtained by Senator Rand Paul, reportedly details a February 1, 2020, conference call where 10 out of 12 scientists initially believed COVID-19 originated from a lab leak. The diary suggests that powerful science administrators, including Fauci, Francis Collins, Patrick Vallance, and Jeremy Farrar, may have influenced the group to shift towards a natural origin hypothesis in public statements. This alleged suppression of scientific debate by these "Big Players" in science, who control significant funding, is presented as a cautionary tale about the politicization of scientific discourse.
