Okay, this may be the King of all Freudian slips…
Anthony Fauci may have accidentally admitted to collaborating with communists from China.
A video from last May has just surfaced of Fauci doing an interview with Politifact.
During the interview, Fauci discussed gain-of-function research, and whether or not the United States collaborated with Chinese scientists.
The problem is that he starts to say something completely different before catching himself:
“So in a very minor collaboration as part of a sub-contract of a grant, we had a collaboration with some Chinese commu… uh, Chinese scientists. And what he conflated with that is that we were involved in creating the virus, which is the most ridiculous majestic leap I’ve ever heard of,” Fauci said.
Did he almost say that the United States collaborated with Chinese communists?
Check out the video and decide for yourself.
Yahoo News recently brought attention to the May interview:
Referring to Republican Senator Rand Paul’s intense interrogation of him and his organization during congressional hearings over the last year, Fauci attempted to elucidate the extent of U.S. scientific cooperation with China prior to the first Covid-19 outbreak. Doubling-down on his claim that the U.S. did not directly fund high-risk lab experimentation that allegedly generated Sars-CoV-2, Fauci appeared to nearly admit that the U.S. had at least worked with the Chinese Communist Party on gain-of-function research.
“So in a very minor collaboration as part of a sub-contract of a grant, we had a collaboration with some Chinese commu… uh, Chinese scientists. And what he conflated with that is that we were involved in creating the virus, which is the most ridiculous majestic leap I’ve ever heard of,” he said.
I'm not sure why this video is only just now gaining attention, but reaction to the clip has been entertaining:
