Once we knew that this was engineered to infect humans, we should have known we were in a race.
Well, I had worked with Tony all the way back in the 1980s in AIDS.
I was the CDC director when he was the director of Infectious Disease.
So I was the CDC director all during the pandemic and a member of the White House task force.
So I gave my professional opinion in January.
of 2020 that I felt that this was a non-natural occurring virus that was a consequence of scientific research in a laboratory.
And I shared that with the president and the committee.
Tony took the position that it was from nature, from the wet market.
I think there was a lot of evidence that that was not correct.
And he's a very smart individual, so I believe that he actually understood that that wasn't correct.
And he intentionally helped create what I call a roost that it came from the wet market, largely because NIH was involved, along with other government agencies, of actually funding that laboratory to do this research, which then ended up killing 20 million people.
He was a big advocate of gain-of-function research, where you try to make pathogens more pathogenic and more transmissible.
I was a big advocate of not doing gain-of-function research.
I wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal a number of years ago, really pushing our nation not to be involved in gain-of-function research.
President Trump just recently put another moratorium on gain-of-function research that's really important now if it can be enforced.
Fauci wrote an op-ed in 2012 where he talked about the importance of gain-of-function research and why that research had to go forward.
And in that op-ed, he said that if the consequence of doing this research is it results in a major pandemic, it's worth the risk.
Well, the reality is it did result in a major pandemic.
As a virologist, there's clear evidence actually in the genome of the virus itself.
So if you really understand how to read the genome, you can really find out that, wait a minute, this didn't come from nature.
