from WND:
Under the leadership of Dr. Francis Collins and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the National Institutes of Health complied with the wishes of researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China and deleted information about the genetic sequencing of the virus that causes COVID-19, according to emails obtained by a nonpartisan whistleblower and government oversight group.
That compliance created consternation among scientists, the emails showed, reported Just the News.
The emails, obtained by a group called Empower Oversight through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, show a Wuhan University researcher submitted virus sequence information to the NIH’s Sequence Read Archive then asked that it be deleted.
The documents also show an expert advised Collins and Fauci that Chinese data could undermine Beijing’s claim that the pandemic did not originate in the Wuhan lab but had a natural origin.
Fauci, in an interview with the BBC this week, was asked how he “could be so certain, so early on” that the pandemic had a natural origin, when he “knew so little about the virus.”
“Well, I was never certain so early on,” Fauci replied. “I have always kept an open mind. But when you look at the circumstances of the evolution, the similarity between [SARS-CoV-2] and SARS-CoV-1 from 2002 and 2003, I said – as did many other virologists who are very experienced in that – that the most likely edeology was a jumping species from an animal to the human.
The BBC presenter then brought up the now-retracted letter published in The Lancet in February 2020 by Fauci-funded EcoHealth Alliance founder Peter Daszak ridiculing anyone who posits the lab leak theory as a conspiracy theorist.
“Was the scientific community too quick to dismiss the possibility that it could have come from a laboratory?” she asked.
“Well, I don’t think they were dismissing it,” Fauci said. “I think it’s been misinterpreted. Everyone has always kept an open mind.”
That was hardly the tone of Daszak’s highly influential letter, which while shutting down debate over the origin of the pandemic, failed to mention Daszak’s clear conflict of interest. Daszak was funded by Fauci to work at the Wuhan lab with the famed “bat lady,” Shi Zhengli, on the engineering of bat coronaviruses.
Daszak and 26 other scientists stated the letter: “We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.”

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
