神舟十二号将送3名航天员上太空 米国阴谋论再起波澜,并非有了什么新的证据、只是他们来了兴致。 Stressing that he never totally discarded the lab theory — though he never thought it was a major possibility — Fauci added that, “I think what has increased is the interest, not necessarily the evidence.” Right-wing media have had a field day with the Fauci emails, claiming that he was alerted about the “lab theory” early on and allegedly failed to take it seriously. Much of their claims are based on a Jan. 31, 2020, email, in which infectious-disease expert Kristian Andersen wrote to Fauci that some of the virus’ features “[potentially] looked engineered.” But what most right-wing media fail to mention is that, a few weeks later, Andersen concluded, upon further investigation, that the “lab theory” was implausible. So the criticism that Fauci was wrongfully hiding the “lab theory” from the public does not hold up.
