Fauci Led a ‘Massive Cover-Up’ of Covid’s Origins [WATCH]

Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary accused former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Director Dr. Anthony Fauci of orchestrating what he called a “massive cover-up” of the origins of Covid-19.

In an interview with the “Pod Force One” podcast, Makary said Fauci worked to suppress the Wuhan lab-leak theory during the early months of the pandemic.

Makary, who previously served as a professor at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, told host Miranda Devine: “One thing that’s extremely obvious that very few people realize, and certainly hardly anyone in the medical establishment where I come from realized, is that [Fauci] was involved in a massive cover-up of the origins of COVID, a massive cover-up.”

He added, “Whether or not he was involved in the experiments or funding the experiments that led to the origins of COVID, he was clearly 100% involved in the cover-up.”

In 2023, the House Oversight Committee released evidence showing that Fauci commissioned and approved a February 2020 scientific paper, The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2, which appeared aimed at refuting the possibility of a lab leak.

Shortly afterward, Fauci cited the paper’s findings during a White House briefing with President Donald Trump as evidence against the lab-leak theory.

Makary said Fauci was “frantically engaging in a massive cover-up with 3 a.m. emails and phone calls” in January and February 2020.

“He was convening people. And the notes from those meetings reveal that all these virologists he convened had told him, ‘We think it came from the Wuhan lab,’ and the output was days later, those same scientists wrote a letter in the medical journal saying it definitely did not come from the lab,” Makary said.

“This is not rocket science. It’s a no-brainer where it came from.”

Makary also said Fauci and former National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins worked to weaken restrictions on gain-of-function research, which involves genetically modifying viruses.

According to Makary, they “meticulously worked in their bureaucratic ways to water down” Obama-era limitations on such experiments, adding, “They did everything you could do bureaucratically.”

In the final days of Joe Biden’s administration, Fauci received a presidential pardon covering potential offenses committed between January 1, 2014, and the pardon date.

Makary told Devine he believes the pardon was connected to Fauci’s alleged efforts to suppress information about the origins of Covid-19.

“[O]nly recently did Anthony Fauci take it to the next level of using science as political propaganda,” Makary said.

“He commissioned the pieces that lied about the COVID origins. The author who submitted the article said this was commissioned by Dr. Fauci and [Dr. Francis Collins, the former director of the National Institutes of Health] in that cover letter.”

Makary said the effort to shape the narrative around the lab-leak theory was part of a wider attempt to limit debate over pandemic policies.
