000,000/588,400 about COVID origins for more than a year. The Australian: 'Virus warfare' in China military documents The Australian Online May 7, 2021 Friday 12:30 PM AEDT This just does not make any sense since why would someone want to make an agent that could equally infect your own population. Something is wrong with this report . I will have to follow up on it. In the meantime, senator Rand Paul has introduced an amendment to ban gain of function research in China. In the statement they say that I am a strong advocate of gain of function research, which in fact I am not. I have been very clear that it should only be done on the very special circumstances when the public health need requires it and that it needs to be done on the very restricted conditions. The complete distortion of what I have been saying continues on the part of the radical right. May 26, 2021 - Global - 167,500,000/3,500,000; USA - 33,000,000/588,400 The situation continues to get "out of control" with regard to the press reports concerning my "flip flopping" concerning the theory of the origin of the virus. I had always said that the very highly likelihood is that the virus originated naturally from an animal reservoir jumping to a human. However, over the past couple of days given the amount of speculation about the possibility of a lab leak I have been saying that no one is 100% certain of the origin including me and so I am calling for a thorough investigation. This is backed by Andy Slavitt as well as a number of other government officials. Calling for an investigation is merely to put to rest the extraordinary amount of speculation and conspiracy theories. However, this is being interpreted as Fauci flip flopping again. The far right is really amazing in their distortion of reality.
