The White House defended Fauci following the release of 3,200 pages of emails – including exchanges where he cast doubt on the lab leak theory and offered guidance on masking he would later reverse.
Below is a transcript of the exchange, via Grabien:
REPORTER: “And then going to the emails of Dr. Fauci, there was an exchange between Dr. Collins and Dr. Fauci referencing a Fox News report, discussing basically the lab leak as a conspiracy. Collins denied, you know, jumping to conclusions and he asserted that his mention of conspiracies was referring to the thought, the rumor that the virus was engineered, bioengineered as a weapon. Is that the position of the administration and their top health experts, that this was not engineered? Or is that still an open question and part of this review?”
PSAKI: “Well, I think we’ve spoken to this pretty extensively from here. Let me just say, on Dr. Fauci and his emails, he has also spoken to this many, many times over the course of the last few days and we will let him speak for himself. And he’s been an undeniable asset in our country’s pandemic response, but it’s obviously not that advantageous or me to re-litigate emails from 17 months ago.
We’ve launched, based on the President’s direction, an entire internal review process to use all of the resources across the government to get to the bottom of the origins, and that’s 100-day process and we will look forward to providing more on this — or 90-day, sorry — when it’s concluded.”
Psaki declined to respond directly when asked about a State Department fact sheet on COVID-19 released days before Donald Trump left office.
“I think I’m just going to focus on our own internal review that’s going to use every resource from the federal government … to see what more we can unearth about the origins which certainly we all want to get to the bottom of,” she said.
WATCH:
Fauci slapped back at critics and defended himself in an appearance on CNN Thursday.
“I think is quite farfetched that the Chinese deliberately engineered something so that they could kill themselves as well as other people. I think that’s a bit far out,” he said.
“I have always said and will say today to you … that I still believe the most likely origin is from an animal species to a human,” Fauci said.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
