"Fauci Defends COVID Response Amid Heated House Hearing Clashes"
Dr. Anthony Fauci testified at a House subcommittee hearing on the US response to the Covid-19 pandemic, addressing issues such as communication gaps, email use by public health officials, and the origins of the virus. Fauci emphasized the need for better coordination between federal and local health agencies and clarified that he did not use personal email for official business. He also discussed the threats he and his family received and clarified that the 6-foot social distancing guideline came from the CDC, not him. The origins of the virus remain unclear, with most scientists believing it spread from animals to humans, though the lab leak theory has not been entirely ruled out.
