Fauci Diaries Reveal Early Doubts on COVID-19 Wuhan Market Origin
Released diary entries of former US infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci reveal his early private doubts about the Wuhan wet market being the origin of COVID-19, describing it instead as an amplifier. Fauci's journals from January 2020 indicate uncertainty about the virus's emergence, contrasting with his public statements that supported a natural animal-to-human spillover at the market. The diaries also highlight Fauci's complex relationship with then-President Trump and ongoing debates over the virus's origins, as part of a Senate investigation led by Senator Rand Paul.
