Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said Wednesday during the hearing with Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) head Anthony Fauci that he regrets scoffing at the coronavirus pandemic “lab leak theory.” And that is, early on that there was the theory that the virus could have emerged from the lab. In a January 2020 diary entry released by Sen. Paul, Fauci privately admitted that scientists suspected the coronavirus likely stemmed from a lab leak, even as he publicly blasted it as a wild conspiracy theory. During Wednesday’s hearing, Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times while facing a barrage of questions from Republicans over his diaries and his handling of the pandemic response. Sen. Paul said there will be a panel vote to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt after his refusal to cooperate.
