re: Regarding the new video of the Wuhan scientists being bit by a bat

Could also be possible that folks like Fauci are determined to run cover for China in this regard, the quid pro quo being that in turn China will run cover for him (i.e. not rat him out) in terms of the allegations that he had a much more direct hand in and knowingly contributed to what he knew or should have known was wholly inappropriate and irresponsible research at the lab.

The question would then become whether this U.S. government also has a stake in keeping Fauci clean, and I believe the answer to that is yes, this government perhaps having become aware of Fauci's negligent actions and did nothing about it, they now have incentive to keep him clean as well. Especially considering how much they've deferred to him on all things covid-19.

Tl;dr
