Fauci calls for investigation into COVID’s origins, despite others being mocked by MSM for asking the same
Sunday surprise?
I didn’t see any headlines at The New York Times calling Dr. Anthony Fauci a ‘Fringe Conspiracy’ theorist, as they did with Sen. Tom Cotton, for suggesting that there needs to be an investigation into the origins of the coronavirus that emanated from Communist China.
Fauci’s statements went for the most part unnoticed. Many people didn’t realize he had suggested nearly two weeks ago, that the COVID-19 virus could have been developed in the Wuhan laboratory ( or manmade versus nature) until a question and answer interview with Katie Sanders of PolitiFact became more public over the weekend.
His statements come in the wake of many other highly credible lawmakers, scientists and pundits were criticized for suggesting that the COVID-19 virus may not have evolved naturally but was possibly developed in the Wuhan laboratory. Dr. Anthony Fauci finally suggested he is “not convinced” COVID-19 developed naturally. He told PolitiFact’s Katie Sanders that there should be an open investigation into the virus’ origins.
But remember when Sen. Cotton questioned the origins of COVID-19? Remember The New York Times headline: “Senator Tom Cotton Repeats Fringe Theory of Coronavirus Origins“
FROM THE TIMES:
The rumor appeared shortly after the new coronavirus struck China and spread almost as quickly: that the outbreak now afflicting people around the world had been manufactured by the Chinese government.
The conspiracy theory lacks evidence and has been dismissed by scientists. But it has gained an audience with the help of well-connected critics of the Chinese government such as Stephen K. Bannon, President Trump’s former chief strategist. And on Sunday, it got its biggest public boost yet.
Speaking on Fox News, Senator Tom Cotton, Republican of Arkansas, raised the possibility that the virus had originated in a high-security biochemical lab in Wuhan, the Chinese city at the center of the outbreak.

I suspect this call for an investigation may have something to do with the fact that over 42% of the American people have lost confidence in Fauci’s statements.
First, I think the left and the establishment need a lesson in American tenacity and commonsense. We have both and aren’t fooled for long – at least I hope not.
Moreover, here’s what Fauci said to Sanders during the question and answer. He’s wanting the same questions answered that Cotton rightfully brought up at the hearings.
“There’s a lot of cloudiness around the origins of COVID-19 still, so I wanted to ask, are you still confident that it developed naturally?” Sanders asked the nation’s top infectious disease expert in an event, United Facts of America: A Festival of Fact-Checking event.
“No actually,” said Fauci. He is the director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). He makes the statements roughly 12 minutes into the event, as posted by Fox News.
“I am not convinced about that, I think we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we continue to find out to the best of our ability what happened,” Fauci said.
Well, I guess better late than never.
In a recent development, the Tate brothers, Andrew and Tristan, along with two associates, find themselves at the center of a high-profile case involving human trafficking allegations.
The charges leveled against them indicate the formation of an organized criminal group in 2021 with the intent to carry out human trafficking operations not only in Romania but also in the United States and the United Kingdom, according to the BBC.
The investigation, which led to their arrest in December last year, has culminated in an indictment filed with the Bucharest court. According to the indictment, the Tate brothers are accused of luring their victims with false promises of love and marriage. Seven individuals have been identified as alleged victims, who were later coerced and subjected to a harrowing ordeal.
Prosecutors contend that the victims were taken to locations in Ilfov county, Romania, where they faced constant surveillance, intimidation, and control. The defendants allegedly forced the victims into debt and coerced them into participating in pornographic activities, with the explicit material subsequently shared on social media platforms. Shockingly, one of the defendants is accused of raping a woman on two occasions in March 2022, further amplifying the gravity of the charges.
While the trial is not expected to commence immediately, as a Romanian judge is granted 60 days to inspect the case files, it is anticipated to be a protracted legal battle. The complexity of the case and the severity of the charges will undoubtedly result in a lengthy trial process, with several years potentially passing before a verdict is reached.
Representatives for the Tate brothers released a statement acknowledging the unsurprising nature of the news but maintaining their belief in their innocence.
As reported by the BBC, the Tate brothers media team stared, “While this news is undoubtedly predictable, we embrace the opportunity it presents to demonstrate their innocence and vindicate their reputation.”
They expressed their eagerness to present a comprehensive body of evidence meticulously collected over time, which they believe will substantiate their claims of innocence and restore their tarnished reputation.
However, it should be noted that additional charges, such as money laundering and trafficking of minors, are still under investigation. If evidence is uncovered to support these allegations, a separate indictment could be filed, further complicating the legal proceedings for the defendants.
Andrew Tate, who gained notoriety through his participation in the reality television show Big Brother, has a controversial past, having been removed from the show in 2016 following a video that appeared to depict him assaulting a woman.
Despite subsequent bans on social media platforms due to his contentious statements, he has managed to amass a following, particularly among young men, by promoting an ostentatious and hyper-masculine lifestyle.
As the case unfolds, public attention will undoubtedly be drawn to the trial, with many eagerly awaiting the outcome and hoping for justice to be served for the alleged victims. The complex web of charges and the high-profile nature of the defendants ensure that this trial will be closely monitored and scrutinized by the media and the public alike.
