Former FOX News host Megyn Kelly denounced Dr. Anthony Fauci for “lying” about the origins of COVID-19 when she lashed out at the mainstream media describing him as a “mini-god.”
On the most recent episode of her Megyn Kelly Show, the one-time host discussed recently declassified emails that revealed Fauci had commissioned a paper to refute the possibility that COVID originated in a lab — before the research was released weeks later. a press conference at the White House was published.
She suggested that the doctor had deliberately lied about the possibility that COVID-19 could have leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, because the United States funded research into the functioning of coronaviruses in the laboratory.
“He didn’t specify where the pandemic came from because China,” Kelly said.
She also mocked the mainstream media for not discussing the recent revelations because they see Fauci as a “superhero” and a “mini-god.”
Her diatribe came as top science advisers testified to Congress that there is mounting evidence that COVID originated in a lab, accusing Fauci of covering up the claims.

She suggested that the doctor (pictured last year) was deliberately lying about the possibility that COVID-19 could have leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, because the United States is investigating research into enhancing the effects of coronaviruses in the laboratory. financed.
Over the weekend, House Republicans investigating the COVID-19 pandemic released bombshell emails saying that the former head of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases both commissioned and had final approval for a scientific paper claiming the It was ‘unlikely’ that the virus leaked from a laboratory.
According to one of the article’s authors, “Our main work…has been aimed at trying to disprove every type of laboratory theory.”
Just a few weeks after it was published in February 2020, Fauci quoted the paper during a press conference with former President Donald Trump when asked about the possibility of COVID leaking from a lab.
He said at the time: ‘There was a study recently where a group of highly qualified evolutionary virologists looked at the sequence … in bats as they evolved and the mutations it took to get to the point where it is now. consistent with a species leap from an animal to a human being.’
“So the paper will be available,” Fauci continued. “I don’t have the authors right now, but we can make it available to you.”
Megyn Kelly discussed those revelations on her podcast Wednesday, claiming he had “manipulated” coverage of the origins of COVID.
“This guy, it’s amazing, he got away with this,” she said. “It’s amazing that the mainstream media isn’t taking more interest in what are clearly lies, they come out every week, but they just love their little Fauci superhero doll.
“Every one of them goes to sleep with it next to their bed every night, and no story can be made to contradict it.”
She then mocked Fauci’s comments at the April 2020 press conference, saying, “Fauci even went so far as to basically pretend he didn’t know these people” who wrote the report. Like “I can’t even remember the names of who were on this paper.”

Kelly also suggested that the reason Fauci denied the possibility that COVID could have originated in a lab is because he and the paper’s other authors were “in bed with China.”
“They were protecting China,” she said, while “the US was funding this whole thing — including what happened in the lab in Wuhan, including research on enhancing function of bat coronaviruses to make them more deadly and more contagious and we didn’t want that someone looks under the hood, that’s the truth.
“It was all lies,” Kelly continued. “Every day we get new emails showing that Fauci lied and his little virologists who contributed to that Nature paper, which they used to penalize honest virologists by saying it was a lab leak.
“It was all a Fauci operation — it was disinformation as the media likes to call it, and you don’t hear about it in the mainstream media,” who view Fauci as a “mini-god,” she said.
“He’s a little superhero on the left, and they’re not going to report on this,” Kelly continued.
“He lied to us all along, of course his fingerprints were all over the Nature article. He didn’t specify where the pandemic came from, because China.”

Kelly’s comments came as experts, including a former Biden staffer and Donald Trump’s CDC director, testified before the House subcommittee investigating COVID that taxpayer-funded profit-of-function likely caused the virus that originated from the Chinese facility.
Dr. Jamie Metzl, a self-described Democrat who worked for President Biden when he was in the Senate, said he favored the lab leak theory because “the Chinese government has done everything it can” to block investigations.
He said China had an “incentive” to find the animal where Covid-19 originated while pushing the theory of animal-to-human transmission, but had failed to do so.
“Given that the Chinese government has every interest in finding an intermediate host, it is very important that it has not been found yet,” Metzl said. “I think it’s telling that we haven’t found it after three years.”
