White House COVID-19 czar Dr. Anthony Fauci’s refusal to share his suspicions about the origin of the virus cost the United States “millions of lives,” former White House director of trade and manufacturing policy Peter Navarro alleges in a new interview to promote his new book about the view of the pandemic from inside the Trump administration.
Calling the National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases (NIAID) chief “toxic,” a “sociopath,” and a “narcissist,” Navarro told Breitbart’s Alex Marlow on Monday that Fauci’s biggest lie of omission” was “not to tell us — the president’s task force — in January that he strongly suspected, as he did, that that virus was from a lab in Wuhan, that he had funded that lab, and that he had authorized gain-of-function experiments which can turn harmless bat viruses into human killers.”
For months, Fauci has taken heat for his role in promoting “gain of function” (GOF) research, which entails intentionally strengthening viruses in a controlled environment to better study their potential effects. Fauci’s NIAID approved a federal grant to the nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance “to study bat-based coronaviruses in China,” including GOF research, which in turn funded research at the notorious Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), from which COVID-19 is suspected of escaping.
