It’s a no-brainer where it came from,” Makary said. \nThe correspondence also documented urgent discussions among U.S. health officials in late January and early February 2020, as scientists debated genomic features of the newly detected virus.\nMakary suggested those exchanges demonstrate undue influence by Fauci and then NIH director Francis Collins, who he says helped steer the scientific consensus before a full investigation could occur. \nSee also: Did Dr. Fauci Secretly Influence CIA Investigation Into Covid-19 Origins? New Allegations Point To ‘Mounting Evidence’ Of A Cover-Up\nFauci has repeatedly denied allegations of a cover-up, calling similar claims “preposterous.” In one of his final acts before leaving the White House, former President Joe Biden also issued a preemptive pardon to Fauci, shielding him from potential criminal investigations or prosecutions.\nMakary claimed that Fauci and Collins “meticulously worked in their bureaucratic ways to water down” Obama-era rules against gain-of-function research and approve federal grants for the controversial practice of genetically altering viruses. \nGain-of-function research is when scientists intentionally give a virus or organism new abilities in the lab so they can study how it might behave and learn how to better protect people from potential threats.\n“They did everything you could do bureaucratically,” Makary said, adding that Fauci then “parsed his words to basically lie to Congress” about gain-of-function research.   \nMakary’s remarks come as political pressure continues to mount for greater transparency surrounding U.S. oversight of high-risk virology research and the government's handling of early pandemic assessments.\n\"What I'm shocked by, coming from the faculty at Johns Hopkins, is none of my colleagues knew any of this,” Makary added. \nREAD NEXT:\nImage via Shutterstock","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"-1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.35.9","shortVersion":"4.35.9","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2586223853","isCrawlerRequest":true}
