Fauci again dismisses conspiracy theory that the coronavirus was made in a Wuhan lab after Pompeo touted 'enormous evidence' of a cover-up

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a new interview that there was no evidence to suggest the novel coronavirus was manufactured in a laboratory.

Conspiracy theorists have, without evidence, linked the outbreak to a research institute in Wuhan, China, and have suggested the virus was developed there and accidentally released onto the public.

On Sunday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed there was "enormous evidence" that the COVID-19 virus originated in a Chinese lab.

But in an interview published in National Geographic on Monday, Fauci said scientific evidence was "very, very strongly leaning toward" the conclusion that the virus originated in nature and jumped from animals to humans.

I'm still waiting for Trump to provide evidence of China manufacturing the coronavirus in a lab which he claimed to possess.

Pompeo did not say it was made in the lab...only it emerged from a lab.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says there is "a significant amount of evidence" that the new coronavirus emerged from a Chinese laboratory, but also says he agrees with US intelligence agencies who say it is not man-made.
