Dr. Anthony Fauci: ‘Misinformation Right From The Beginning’ Increased Coronavirus Spread
By  Daily Wire NewsDailyWire.com

Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, implied during a Fox News interview on Saturday that the Chinese Communist Party’s lies about the coronavirus increased the outbreak worldwide.

“So let’s just start in January or February,” Fox News host Jesse Watters said. “When was the first time that you realized that this was a major problem? Because I remember, in late January, you were telling people, early February, this was nothing to be concerned for most Americans, Americans, for the most part, were not at risk.”

“It was in January at a time when the Chinese were saying, first, that it was only going from an animal to a human, and then when there were human cases that looked like they were transmitted, that it was very inefficiently transmitted,” Fauci responded. “It was at that time in, I believe, mid-January, that we made the statement that if in fact that’s true, that this is mostly animal to human, and we’re not in China, and it’s very inefficiently spread, that in fact, it may not be something that is of a major threat outside of China.”

China and WHO were denying, up until January 20th, that human-to-human transmission had happened.

That is a very simple, single, sentence, but the consequential effects of that lie were worldwide, huge, and deadly. The US acted and spoke on what they "knew" at the time they acted/spoke. China's 3-4 weeks of lies were the world's "knowledge". On top of their weeks of lying, China still didn't shut down travel out of Hubei Province until January 23rd.
