Loading ...Fauci Says China Was “Extremely Secretive” But “Didn’t Necessarily” Cover-Up Pandemic
Quite the hedge there Tony…
“You know, I don’t want to create any or mention any disparaging remarks about that,” Fauci responded.
“But the Chinese are very closed, in a way of being very reluctant, particularly when you have a disease that evolves in their country, they become extremely secretive, even though there’s no reason to be secretive,” he continued.
Fauci then suggested that embarrassment over global reactions may have driven the Chinese regime to be less than totally forthcoming on the origins and spread of COVID-19.
“I think they were very concerned and maybe embarrassed that the virus evolved from their country but there’s nothing wrong with that,” he said.
“So when they see something evolving in their own country, they tend to have a natural reflex of not necessarily covering things up, but not being very open and transparent.”
