Is there any evidence whatsoever that Dr. Fauci's research led in any way to the development of what became COVID 19? I mean, I think there's evidence that Tony Fauci authorized research that happened in the Wuhan lab with American taxpayer money. despite the fact that there were other scientists who thought that this kind of research was too dangerous to do. In fact, President Obama put a pause on such research, and Tony Fauci found ways to get around that. (08:38–08:46)
