New comment by MilnerRoute in "A forgotten social media post may hold key clues to Covid-19's origin"

MilnerRoute — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 18:49:59 +0000

From CNN today:

The documents do not come close to proving that “Fauci Funded Wuhan Lab Research That Sparked COVID"... The documents released by Gabbard contain nothing remotely resembling proof on the question of how the virus originated – and certainly not proof for the bolded claim on the director’s website that “Fauci Funded Wuhan Lab Research That Sparked COVID.”

It's good to research virus prevention -- and to fund research into virus prevention. But Tucker Carlson started the conspiracy theory that the U.S. funded a group that funded research that wasn't just into virus prevention, but actual "gain-of-function" research (which is false). Tulsi Gabbard is now resurrecting that theory on her last day in office.

The lab and its virus-prevention research did not in any way "spark Covid". (Fauci also believes the lab-leak theory is unsupported, but he testified to Congress that he did not officially share that opinion with other U.S agencies. Tulsi Gabbard says he did, so that's the extent of the "lie" she's accusing him of.) It's interesting that the sum total of the money that theory rests on is "millions" of dollars.

The submitted link (from the reputable magazine Science) does report "further evidence that China is withholding vital data on the contentious issue." But the social media post revealed new incriminating data which China has never shared -- that supports the market-origin theory. ("The maps identify specific stalls as having live animals infected with SARS-CoV-2 and vendors with antibodies to the virus...")
