For weeks now, President Donald Trump has been making the case that the coronavirus originated not in nature but in a lab in Wuhan, China. He said late last week that he had a "high degree of confidence" that was what happened (although he didn't specify why he felt that way) and on Sunday night in a Fox town hall offered cryptically "something happened.
If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what's out there now, [the scientific evidence] is very, very strongly leaning toward this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated ... Everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature and then jumped species."
Now, before we play the game of "he said, he said" remember this: Only one of these two people is a world-renowned infectious disease expert. And it's not Donald Trump.

Top US disease expert Anthony Fauci 'not convinced' COVID-19 virus developed naturally, calls for investigation

Certainly, the people who investigated it say it likely was the emergence from an animal reservoir that then infected individuals, but it could have been something else, and we need to find that out. So, you know, that’s the reason why I said I’m perfectly in favor of any investigation that looks into the origin of the virus,” added Fauci.
CNN wrong again and Fauci now flip flopping like a fish out of water as gain of function becomes more and more of a reality as the cause of the Wuhan virus.
On CNN, NYT's Haberman Blames Trump for Media Discrediting Wuhan Lab Leak Theory

See if you can wrap your head around this one: The media instantly dismissed the COVID-19 lab leak theory as a “conspiracy” when President Trump was in office touting it, but now are suddenly parroting this theory as plausible, with President Biden in office. Yet they are still blaming the Trump administration for “politicizing” the intelligence findings.
