[91959] New reports in the US: Controversy over the origin of the coronavirus and the role of Dr. Anthony Fauci

New revelations and claims regarding the origin of COVID

Throughout the day (June 20, 2026), a lively discourse emerged on social media surrounding publications attributing sharp accusations against Dr. Anthony Fauci to the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). RealJamesWoods — an account known for its conservative positions and criticism of the establishment — reported that the DNI claimed Fauci funded a biological weapons lab in China that led to the creation of the COVID-19 pandemic. Similar claims were also circulated by other users such as walterh1223 and steezyrocko, pointing to alleged official documents on the subject.

At the same time, HannahBrites added that "everything Fauci told us was a lie," while accusing him of misleading the public on the topics of herd immunity and natural immunity. It is important to note that this is a narrative adopted by parties who are highly critical of the US government's policies during the pandemic.

On the other hand, ShaneSchaetzel, who presents a critical position toward intelligence agencies, reported that the CIA changed its assessment regarding the origin of the virus from "laboratory" to "neutral." According to Schaetzel's report, CIA analysts previously believed that COVID leaked from a lab in Wuhan, but this assessment has recently changed, which is raising questions among the public regarding the reliability of American intelligence.

Additional criticism was directed at the mainstream media; RealJamesWoods claimed that the ABC network ignores critical issues and focuses on marginal coverage, while criticizing correspondent Jonathan Karl.
