No, emails to Dr. Anthony Fauci don’t show early agreement that virus was human-made

The release of thousands of emails to and from U.S. infectious disease chief Dr. Anthony Fauci has fueled claims that the virus behind COVID-19 was man-made. BuzzFeed and The Washington Post received the emails in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, and both published articles on June 1.

“Dr Fauci exposed for the fraud he is,” said a June 2 Facebook post from the WTF Files. “Fauci’s fellow scientist could tell early on that the (coronavirus) looked manufactured.”
