A new book released earlier this month is diving into how National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci allegedly misled the former Trump administration on gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China.
Australian investigative reporter Sharri Markson released her new book What Really Happened In Wuhan on Oct. 1, which according to its Amazon page, looks “into the origins of Covid-19, the cover-ups, the conspiracies and the classified research.”
“Fauci’s public persona as a cautious, careful medical professional is contradicted by his central role in kickstarting exceptionally fraught gain-of-function research in the United States after the ban introduced in the Obama era, along with his role in funding coronavirus research in China in unsafe laboratories. Laboratories that intelligence agencies suspect may have sparked the pandemic,” Markson says in her book.
According to Fox News, the book details how Fauci attempted to convince then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows “to return funding to a research project in China, which was run by a U.S. nonprofit called EcoHealth Alliance. The funding to EcoHealth was suddenly terminated last year after a decade of the project studying bats in China to identify coronaviruses.”
“Tony, you have to take it up with the boss. Meadows is the one making this call,” former Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar told Fauci, after the NIAID director complained about the sudden termination of the funds, according to book excerpts obtained by Fox News.
Fauci reportedly had “no qualms” in meeting with Meadows in an attempt to overturn the EcoHealth decision, “even though it was now public that this not-for-profit group had been funding the Wuhan laboratories conducting gain-of-function research on coronaviruses in the same city where the pandemic started.”
“Fauci declined to comment but sources familiar with his complaint say he mounted a case based on the lack of process, rather than any personal relationship with Daszak,” the book states, in reference EcoHealth Alliance president Peter Daszak.
According to the book, NIH director Francis Collins had formalized a collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Military Science in 2015, with the book displaying a photo of Collins with the Chinese Academy of Military Sciences President.

The book notes that Collins emailed Fauci in April of 2020 saying any claims of a laboratory leak of the virus was in fact a conspiracy.
“The email was titled ‘conspiracy gains momentum’ and it included a link to on-air comments by Fox News host Bret Baier that multiple sources had told him the virus may have originated in a Wuhan laboratory before accidentally escaping. Perhaps the leadership at the NIH viewed this as innocent international collaboration,” the book states.
“If so, this was naive. The United States was well aware of the inherent risks of the type of dual-use research in which Xi Jinping was engaging. It seemed the health, science and even defence community turned a blind eye to these grave national security and biosafety concerns, along with China’s blatant theft of American intellectual property,” the book continues.
In her book, Markson spoke to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who despite not naming Fauci, blamed the NIH and some US health officials for funding that went to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where they were studying bat coronaviruses around the time of the pandemic’s outbreak.
“What is clear to me is that the folks at NIH and the health professionals at the United States that were supervising these American researchers going to this lab also knew that this lab did not meet rigorous safety standards, the standards that we would hold an American laboratory to or a British or French or Australian or Japanese facility to,” he said. “It seems like that raises an awful lot of questions about the absence of oversight and the risks that pertain to that.”
The book also highlights how senior White House officials were shocked to learn that Fauci had lifted the Obama-era ban on gain-of-function research back in 2017, and “they were even more astounded to discover he knew so much about the research in Wuhan, but never said a word as the pandemic unfolded.”
According to the book, Trump’s acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, “said Fauci did not once mention the gain-of-function research that his agency had funded at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”
“I do not recall him saying anything of the sort, and certainly not that he may have been involved with it,” Mulvaney told Markson.
It’s pretty clear now that the cover story of having a weak virus released from a Chinese lab would not be telegraphed by one of the pawns.
Covid-19 was released intentionally to prevent Trump from winning an election he was sure to win and also instituting new authoritarian measures across the world.
We are a world at war with the globalists and Marxist China.
fauci lied and millions died worldwide.
Democrats do not turn on their false gods easily. Because of their miserable, empty lives that only contain hatred and denial of the rights of others, they rabidly cling to those they have deemed serving their socialist needs.
Despite how they pretend-cared for those that died from COVID and the left’s mismanagement, incompetence and obstruction, they are not likely to turn on one they deemed a superstar god because… well, simply because they were told to.
The only illnesses and deaths they care about was their own, someone that contributed to their livelihood or another of their false idols. The rest served only to be blamed on Trump for political gain.
They aren’t going to turn on Fauci just because he was personally partially responsible for every death. They never cared anyway.
Trump was not pre-selected and installed by the powers that be. That’s the issue.
They started prepping the plandemic shortly after Trump took office.
