Some documents served to the US press in the past months revealed that the coronavirus epidemic, US doctor Anthony Fauci, started a grant program so that a laboratory in Wuhan, where the epidemic began, can work. Moreover, allegations were made that the coronavirus epidemic may have originated from this laboratory funded by Fauci.
Since then, a longtime target of the opposition in the USA, Dr. New information has emerged about Anthony Fauci today. This time, Fauci came to the fore with his e-mails, which were made public in the summer of 2021, but were not examined in detail at that time. These emails were received in the first days of February 2020 by Dr. Fauci and his US National Institutes of Health colleague Dr. It was written to Francis Collins. The emails showed that some experts suspected that SARS-CoV-2 had leaked from the lab in question, but were reluctant to discuss it for “political reasons.”
Experts took the laboratory theory seriously:
In an email dated February 2, 2020, one of the emails handled by The Telegraph, Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust, a health research fundraiser, was talking to Fauci and Collins about this lab theory. Farrar stated that the evolution of the virus from a SARS-like virus studied on human tissue in a low-security laboratory is “a possible explanation.”
In the email, Farrar mentioned that this evolution “may have accidentally produced a virus that could spread rapidly among humans,” while Dr. Collins stated that “further discussion would unnecessarily harm science in general and scientific work in China in particular.” Collins also warned that this could harm “international harmony.”
Did the virus leak from the lab or was it a natural event?
In addition, Farrar wrote that other experts believed that the virus could not have evolved naturally. Among the experts in question, Prof., who discovered how the SARS virus attaches to human cells. Dr. Mike Farzan was also involved. Expressing Farzan’s concerns in an email, Farrar used the following statements:
“(Farzan) is disturbed by the Furin (a protease enzyme encoded by the FURIN gene in humans and other animals) region. He has a hard time explaining this as an event that happened outside the lab. There are possible paths in nature, but the possibilities are not very high. I think it boils down to the question of how you put all this together, whether you believe this string of coincidences, what you know about the lab in Wuhan, how much it could be in nature – accidental release or natural event? I am 70:30 or 60:40. ”
In the email above, Farrar was assessing the probability of the virus leaking from the lab/natural event as 70 to 30 or 60 to 40. So, he was more prone to the idea that this virus had leaked from the lab. On the other hand, in another e-mail sent on February 4, Farrar announced this probability as 50:50. Professor at the University of Sydney. Dr. Eddie Holmes, on the other hand, stated his probability as 60:40.
Among the names mentioned in the e-mails and cited as considering the laboratory theory as possible are Bob Garry from the University of Texas and Prof. Dr. Andrew Rambaut was also present. These e-mails showed that experts take lab theory more seriously than previously thought.
