Fauci 'not convinced' COVID-19 developed naturally [View all]
Dr. Anthony Fauci says he is "not convinced" COVID-19 developed naturally, and called for an open investigation into the virus' origins.
"Theres a lot of cloudiness around the origins of COVID-19 still, so I wanted to ask, are you still confident that it developed naturally?" PolitiFacts Katie Sanders asked the nations top infectious disease expert in an event, United Facts of America: A Festival of Fact-Checking.
"No actually," Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) said, around 12 minutes into footage of the event, which was held earlier this month but overlooked by most media outlets.
"I am not convinced about that, I think we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we continue to find out to the best of our ability what happened."
