This guy needs to be banished to one of our our Arctic research stations.
Maybe “The Thing” will come along to tax his great intellect..
“Did not originate” is a meaningless assertion. What matters more than where it originated is where it was accidentally released. No one asked him this question.
Dr. Fauci is expounding opinions without proof. Handle them accordingly. The more I see of him, the less I like him.
** Some claim the virus occurred naturally but was brought into the Wuhan lab for study, from where it escaped, a theory Fauci dismissed as a “circular argument.” **
Another area that has more to do with potential for weapons research & military intelligence which Dr. Fauci is unqualified to address. Ever been to Ft. Detrich?

interesting homicide
This guy should be fired, he’s an ass and I’m tired of him, he’s big pharma, against Hydroxychorloquine, sick of him
Has he told Hillary Clinton how much he loves her today yet.
ESAD Fauci.
All the wrong questions.
Dr. Fauci:
How deep was the damage the Chinese caused by their lack of honesty and forthrightness?
How do you measure the failure of the Chinese Government in regards to what they unleashed on the world?
The WHO FAILED early to get most of the relevant data points right in regards to COVID-19. What real purpose do they serve and why should US tax dollars support them?
You don’t sound like you don’t really care if the US economy crashes. Is that the “scientist” in you?
Because of the shutdown Drug Abuse is soaring. Alcohol Abuse is soaring. Spousal abuse is on the rise. Child abuse is on the rise. Suicide is on the rise. How bad would this data need to get before you became as concerned about IT as you are COVID-19?
We will all be safer when Dr. Fraudi is gone.
Who is going to win that?
************************
As a typical RNA virus, the average evolutionary rate or coronaviruses is roughly 10–⁴ nucleotide substitutions per site per year,1 with mutations arising during every replication cycle. It is, therefore, striking that the sequences of 2019-nCoV from different patients described here were almost identical, with greater than 99·9% sequence identity.
This finding suggests that 2019-nCoV originated from one source within a very short period and was detected relatively rapidly. However, as the virus transmits to more individuals,constant surveillance of mutations arising is needed.

Yeah why would he admit that it came from a lab that he provided funds to?
So when did Dr Death Fauci have access to our classified intelligence?
Who is to know if the Dr. is correct but I would bet the Chicoms have some of the nastiest viruses on earth in those labs.
Lying POS
Doesn’t want it associated with his handiwork
And if not there, where?
And explain China’s self-interested response to the outbreak.
Wait till the 100% proof positive reports from the Intel community come out proving that it does and his own treasonous connections and others to the CCP! He is a dead man walking!!
Fauci’s misdirection here is downright Clintonian.
“If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats, and what’s out there now is very, very strongly leaning toward this [virus] could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated,” he said, adding that the mutation pattern of the virus is highly suggestive of a natural origin.
However, the allegation is that SARS-CoV-2 likely escaped from Wuhan Institute of Virology laboratory (either the Level 2 lab nearby the seafood market or the Fauci-funded Level 4 lab about eight miles distant.) Whether SARS-CoV-2 is a chimera created in the Fauci-funded Wuhan lab or an unaltered specimen from a captured horseshoe bat or collected feces from a horseshoe bat is another issue entirely.
The story about its having escaped from the seafood market doesn’t add up. Horseshoe bats (genus Rhinolophus) are the variety that host SARS-like coronaviruses. Horseshoe bats are microbats that live something like 1000 miles away from Wuhan. The bats in the genus Rhinolophus are not preferred by those who enjoy bat cuisine. They only weigh about 10 grams, which is way too small to be worthwhile. Chinese bat aficionados prefer dishes prepared from the larger bat species in the genera of Cynopterus, Hipposideros, and Rousettus. Furthermore, bat cuisine is only popular in southern and southwestern Chinese provinces (far south of Wuhan.) There is one exception to the popularity of bat in Hubei and other regions: during Chinese New Year, eating bat is thought to bring good luck because the word for bat is similar to the word for luck. However, patient zero for COVID-19 presented in either late November or early December, about two months before Chinese New Year. Dozens of witnesses have reported that bat was never sold in the seafood market.
Fauci trying to cover his butt or a friend’s.
