(Natural News) Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), has finally admitted that Communist China played a significant role in the early spread of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19).
When the initial coronavirus outbreak was spreading in Wuhan in late 2019, Chinese officials were attempting to stifle reports about it, claiming that it wasn’t that infectious and censoring doctors who were attempting to blow the whistle. Fauci himself claims he suspected that the “mysterious pneumonia” coming out of the city was a novel coronavirus.
“Back then, the lack of full appreciation of the seriousness of what we were dealing in, was [due to] a number of reasons,” he said during an interview with Axios. “Some things were absolutely not known by anybody. And, some things were known by the Chinese and they weren’t very transparent about it.”
Many people inside and outside of China “got fooled,” said Fauci. Public health officials outside the communist nation initially believed that the outbreak in Wuhan was similar to the SARS virus and were not aware that the coronavirus was acting very differently.
Fauci accused the Chinese of delaying their reporting on the asymptomatic and person-to-person transmission of the coronavirus. The director also believes that if U.S. health officials were aware of the extent of the spread and the possibility for asymptomatic cases to transmit the coronavirus, they would have changed their guidance on masks, social distancing and contact tracing very early on.
The coronavirus started spreading in China in late 2019. The Chinese Communist Party refused to allow foreign scientists to investigate the situation in Wuhan “for a considerable period,” limiting the ability of the international scientific community to understand where COVID-19 came from and how it was spreading.
When Chinese authorities finally did allow a group of World Health Organization researchers into the country, which included one official from Fauci’s NIAID, they still placed roadblocks for the scientists, such as delaying the approval of their travel authorization.
“You don’t know everything you need to know the first day,” said Fauci. “You get people who are making decisions about their own behavior based on political considerations, as opposed to an objective evaluation of the public health threat.” (Related: Cover-up: Dr. Anthony Fauci helped approve an effective treatment for coronavirus infections 15 years ago, but is suppressing it today in favor of new high-profit vaccines.)
