Gabbard Drops Fauci COVID-19 Receipts on Last Day

Newly declassified government records suggest a U.S. national laboratory considered a laboratory origin for COVID-19 to be just as plausible as a natural origin as early as May 2020, raising new questions about what officials knew during the pandemic's early months The released documents describe federally funded coronavirus research that included spike protein engineering, receptor adaptation experiments, and testing in humanized mice, helping explain why those techniques later became central to debates over the virus's origin According to the report, declassified records show Anthony Fauci participated in a 2021 intelligence briefing on COVID-19's origins, prompting new scrutiny over whether his later congressional testimony matched the documented timeline Internal emails and reviewer-selection discussions described in the records suggest scientists and intelligence officials continued debating competing origin theories behind the scenes even as the public conversation increasingly focused on a natural origin The documents underscore why reviewing original records, following the timeline and comparing private discussions with public statements gives you a stronger foundation for evaluating major public health claims
