Fauci: Yes, there was a secret meeting among scientists last February to discuss the origins of the coronavirus HotAir

We hadn t yet performed more in-depth analyses to reach a conclusion, rather were sharing our preliminary observations, he told the Times about his email to Fauci. I m not a scientist so I m not in a position to assess whether that s plausible, but it strikes me as weird that he would have semi-casually fired off an email to the head of the NIAID that a virus on the brink of igniting a global pandemic might well have been Frankenstein-ed in a lab. That seems like a claim you might want to check your work on first, particularly if your analyses were capable of being completed within days. Why didn t he just wait wait a week to email Fauci while he double-checked his hypothesis? Oh snap, the furin cleavage site *does* occur in viruses found in the wild? Never mind, then.

Anyway. It s not clear why Fauci didn t reveal the conference call before his emails revealed it for him. But then we re used to him holding back information from the public by now.

This story has gotten entirely away from Drs. Fauci and Andersen and that’s a good thing.

BTW it looks to me like Dr. Andersen was looking for what we might call furin cleavage site, bio-engineering plausible deniability, sort of a Science and law concept, you might say. You can check whether you have that in only a few days, I reckon.
