"Dr. Fauci's position, as those who thought it was a spillover took the position because that's what happened with SARS and MERS. It's important to look at prior to 2012; we weren't doing gain-of-function research. SARS and MERS never learned how to go human to human, so those original outbreaks were less than one thousand people, and the epidemics died. But this virus was immediately the most infectious virus behind measles that we've ever seen. So I immediately said, wait a second; this isn't natural. Then you go back and look at the literature, and in 2014 this lab actually published a paper in which they put the ACE2 receptor in humanized mice so it can infect human tissue, and then you learn that the new covid, which came from bats, can hardly replicate in bats. So how does that happen?"
