"Former Boss and Top Official Acknowledge Credibility of COVID-19 Lab-Leak Theory"
Former NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins admitted to Congress that the COVID-19 lab leak theory was credible, contradicting his previous dismissal of it as a distraction. He echoed Dr. Fauci's testimony and also conceded that social distancing guidelines were not based on scientific data. Collins reportedly revealed that Fauci invited him to a conference call that aimed to discredit the lab leak hypothesis. The House subcommittee is investigating whether officials, including Fauci, suppressed questions about the pandemic's origins to protect China.
