So she has to say, even though they were right- They kind of had bad motives and were trying to discredit institutions. Obviously, the people who discredited these institutions, these scientific institutions, are the people who led them.
And it wasn't just that they got it wrong. It's that the whole thing, starting all the way back in 2020 with that Lancet letter, that was engineered by Peter Daszak at EcoHealth Alliance who had a financial interest and a reputational interest in ensuring that nobody thought it was a lab leak since he himself had money to work with Wuhan on the very research that likely caused the leak.

They allowed that person to be the sort of objective source. They hid his key role. And that's the letter that said, anybody suggesting a lab leak is engaged in racist disinformation and conspiracy mongering against our Chinese colleagues.

And Fauci convinced them all that for the sake of science or something, they have to lie to the public. And that's exactly what they did.

And even though I'm not going to sit here and say I knew from the very beginning that it was a lab leak, I'm not a scientist, I'm not an epidemiologist, I did observe and complained about the fact that there was no permission to debate these questions. If you had raised the issue of a lab leak,

including from Wuhan lab, you would have been censored off the internet by every major big tech platform. They didn't permit any questioning or debate about them. They destroyed people's reputations.
