U.S. intel located video proving coronavirus research in China, even as Fauci continued to deny

The year after the COVID-19 pandemic reached the United States, a U.S. intelligence official flagged a video circulating online showing a government-funded scientist admitting publicly that his colleagues in China had manipulated spike proteins on coronaviruses.

During this time, leading health official Dr. Anthony Fauci continued to double down on his claim his office had not funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab in China where scientists conducted such experiments.
