Novel coronavirus manufactured by Chinese laboratory?Fauci: there is no proof
Fauci told national geographic that there was no scientific evidence that the novel coronavirus was manufactured by a Chinese laboratory.Fauci also denied that anyone had found the virus in the wild, brought it back to the lab, and then leaked it from the lab, saying that in itself meant the virus had been in the wild in the first place.
“Novel coronavirus evolved naturally to spread across species.”
If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats, fauci said, there is a strong tendency to suggest that the virus was not created or manipulated, and that the mutation is the natural way of evolution.Fauci added that many evolutionary biologists have said that the gradual evolution of the virus over time strongly suggests that the virus evolved in nature and then spread across species.
On April 18, fauci refuted the conspiracy theory that “a novel coronavirus came from a Chinese laboratory,” refuting the unfounded fallacy that the virus was transmitted from animals to humans.
