China News Service, June 7th. In the context of the US government's re-promotion of the so-called "laboratory leak theory" of the new coronavirus, Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, recently changed his words suddenly, saying that he was "not sure" of the virus. Whether it comes from nature, triggers criticism.
He not only overdrawn the trust of the American people and was ridiculed as a "liar", but also caused Republicans to launch a new round of political attacks on him.
Data map: On December 22, 2020 local time, American infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci received the new crown vaccine at the National Institutes of Health.
In fact, since the beginning of the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in the United States, Fauci has been "surviving in the cracks" of the American political arena-touted by the left and vilified by the right.
As Fauci continues to be threatened, there is also a security team to protect his safety.
On June 6, the Associated Press stated that following the recent exposure of Fauci's e-mail content, the Republicans’ political attacks on him were “in a sprint”.
Earlier on the 2nd, a number of American media claimed that they had obtained Fauci’s over 3,200 pages of e-mail content, spanning from January to June 2020, when the epidemic in the United States continued to be severe.
Some of these emails stated that the head of the US research institute believed that the so-called new crown virus originated in the "Wuhan laboratory" was a conspiracy.
In addition, in April 2020, Fauci also received an email from Peter Dasak, a WHO pathogen consultant and chairman of the U.S. non-profit organization Eco-Health Alliance.
Dasak wrote that he thanked Fauci for "publicly showing that the scientific evidence supports that the new crown virus was transmitted from bats to humans, not from the laboratory of the Wuhan Institute of Virology."
Dazak praised Fauci's comments for being brave and will help eliminate the fallacy surrounding the origin of the virus.
Later, Fauci wrote back to express his gratitude to Dasak.
But in May 2021, in the context of the US government's renewed "laboratory leak theory," Fauci suddenly changed his mind, saying that he was "not sure" whether the new crown virus came from nature.
On June 3, Fauci said: "I still think that the most likely source of (new crown virus) is from animals to humans, but if there are other possible sources, I am completely open. (new crown virus emerges) may There are other reasons, it may be a laboratory leak."
Fauci's hesitating and contradictory statements did not allow him to escape the liquidation of the Republicans.
The Associated Press pointed out that in the conservative media, Fauci was ridiculed as a "liar"-misleading the American people on the issue of the origin of the new crown.
Although there is no evidence that Fauci has done wrongly, the voices of Republicans asking him to resign are getting louder and louder.
"Considering what we know so far, I don't know who can have such confidence that he should continue to hold a position of public trust and authority." Potential presidential candidate, Republican Senator Josh Howe of Missouri Lee pointed out.
Holly asked Fauci to resign and asked Congress to launch a full investigation of him.
In addition, Stefanick, the third figure of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives, also launched a fundraising email with the subject of "Quit Fauci."
On the evening of the 5th local time, former US President Trump criticized Fauci again in a speech in North Carolina.
An anonymous consultant revealed that Trump believes that these emails further prove that his view of Fauci is correct.
Trump believes that Fauci is "not a good doctor" and that "he is wrong on almost all issues."

While Fauci was "sniped" by the Republican Party, the White House took the opposite attitude and expressed support for Fauci.
Last week, White House Press Secretary Jane Psaki stated that Fauci is “an undeniable treasure in our country’s response to the pandemic”, while Biden expressed “very confident in Dr. Fauci”.
Regarding the split between the two parties in the United States on the Fauci issue, the Associated Press quoted US government officials as saying that for the Republican Party, criticizing Fauci "is a strategy" to motivate the party's grassroots voters; as for the Democratic government , They are happy to compare the public health performance of Fauci and the previous Trump administration.
In the final analysis, the tracing of the source of the new coronavirus is a scientific issue and should be returned to science itself.
At the time when the new crown epidemic in the United States was the most severe, US politicians forced science to give way to politics, which once allowed Americans to taste great bitter results; now, the situation in the United States has slowed down, and the politicization of the new crown problem seems to have become impossible for the US "cancer".
