Virologist who emailed Fauci COVID-19 looked ‘engineered’ deletes 5k tweets, then entire account
June 7, 2021 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
Kristian G. Andersen, the virologist who emailed Dr. Anthony Fauci and posited that COVID-19 had “unusual features” that “potentially look engineered,” deleted 5,000 tweets on Sunday and then deleted his entire Twitter account.
Andersen is a professor in the Department of Immunology and Microbiology at the highly regarded Scripps Research Institute. He is a colleague of Fauci and garnered attention as thousands of emails surfaced last week that mentioned him specifically. But he made even more headlines by apparently deleting his messages.
“On a phylogenetic tree the virus looks totally normal and the close clustering with bats suggest that bats serve as the reservoir. The unusual features of the virus make up a really small part of the genome (<0.1%) so one has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features (potentially) look engineered,” he wrote in an email to Fauci.
