Fauci emails literally include a COVID-19 recipe

This is a basic microbiology lab protocol...you realize this kind of work is being done at most universities and research hospitals right? I do work like this on bacteria all the time.

@hotpancakes add these to OP
This lacks context, it says Coronavirus(which includes a lot of other viruses AFAIK) not Covid-19 in particular and it was sent to Fauci, seems like someone was suggesting him something for research or something.

Yup too many people who have no clue what 80% of the words in that email mean are jump to conclusions.

There's bioweapons being produced at most universities? That sounds unsafe

No they are not specifically making bio weapons, but bacteria and viruses are being created and altered all the time.
It only makes sense to me that it is an accidental leak.
In what world would China release a new bioweapon in their own city with a virology lab as a deliberate attack? Not really an attack at that point.
If they wanted to do that it would only make sense to release it in the target country; and if they wanted to obscure its origin, release it in the target country next to a virology lab in that country.
... wait.. I think I just figured out what went on here
Plenty of reasons why:
Getting rid of a president that tanked their economy with his trade blocks, wishing to advance past other countries by having them spend a ton of money on dealing with the virus while China can resume back to normal quick, turning away the attention on themselves and their shady ass corporations (tencent and their former CEOs disappearance was a big story prior to the virus, tiktok and its accusations of being used for spying on foreign land, etc)
For anyone freaking out, let me lay a plausible and possibly likely reason for this email.
It’s March 2020, COVID-19 is already spreading and the scientific community is shifting focus on it.
There is a possibility of a lab leak, how can that be confirmed or refuted, well you look at what bioweapon virus are made that could be similar and compare. A person working on a coronavirus sends the protocol to Dr. Fauci...now when virus samples form COVID are being examined they can look and compare it to this man-made virus and look for matching structures and feature.
This email can just as easily rule out a bioweapon virus as it can confirm one.

Where/how did this get leaked? edit: nvm saw the washington post link
Fauci emails literally include a COVID-19 recipe

Y'all need to think critically when you look at this, smh
Adam Gaertner is a NOT an authority in this and is pushing his own one-sdided convos with fauci seemingly as "proof" that "they've known" how to cure covid for a while now
2. you think in a redacted email archive, they would just casually forget to black out the covid recipe if they really thought it was real?
There's bioweapons being produced at most universities? That sounds unsafe
more than ya think
this is stupid as a whole. How about let's make sure it doesn't happen again instead of playing the blame game.
I hate the current global leadership bruh
I really don’t understand the line of thinking that we should just let this slide
Like, if the Chinese government (or even the American government considering the source of funding) created a virus that killed 3 million people, destroyed small businesses and created a huge transfer of wealth to the rich (which will likely continue at a faster pace than before well beyond COVID) there should absolutely be repercussions
If it were made in a lab there are even more important questions- like, did either government leak it intentionally, know it was man made and cover that up, and could knowing the process for making it have sped up the process of finding a cure? For all we know this was biological warfare. Not saying it was, but an investigation absolutely needs to be done.

There’s certainly investigation that needs to happen but if the leak wasn’t intentional don’t see how it’s really chinas fault

If it actually was man made and wasn’t intentional, the question will be how much the Chinese government knew. Did they cover this up, and if so, why? Knowing it was man made and how it was created may have changed the timeline on developing a vaccine.
Lots of questions that need answers if this turns out to be true
