Anthony Fauci

Many of Anthony Fauci's emails during the US Covid-19 outbreak last year have been obtained via Freedom of Information Act and published by BuzzFeed News and The Washington Post. Depending on what ideological echo chamber you inhabit you may have heard that they are completely innocuous or historically damning; the ones eliciting the most controversy right now include a scientist telling Fauci that the virus could potentially look engineered, and a zoologist linked to both the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the World Health Organization's Covid investigation thanking Fauci for supporting the natural origin theory over the lab leak theory. This will all play into the reinvigorated controversy surrounding the origins of the virus, which will ultimately lead nowhere.
