Recently FOIA’ed e-mails from February 2020 revealed that Anthony Fauci, Francis Collins, Peter Daszak, Jeremy Farrar and others involved in “Gain of Function” research at the Wuhan Lab conspired to quash any investigation into the true origins of the Covid-19 outbreak and their culpability.
Dr. Roland Wiesendanger of the University of Hamburg was one of the first scientists to publish on the possible lab leak in February 2021, and was defamed by mainstream media as a “conspiracy theorist.” Speaking to author Stefan Frank, he now demands a criminal investigation on suspicion of manslaughter in millions of cases.

Professor Wiesendanger, e-mails have come to light this month that cast a very bad light on Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House’s chief immunologist.
What are these e-mails and why have their contents only now become public?
The e-mails have come to the attention of a broader public through the publication of a letter from Republican members of the US Congress. It concerns the e-mail correspondence of Anthony Fauci with some very respected virologists in the period from Feb. 1 to Feb. 4, 2020, in connection with a conference call on Feb. 1, 2020. This e-mail correspondence has been available for several weeks due to a lawsuit under the
Freedom of Information Act in the U.S., but was previously known only to insiders. As a result of Republican members of Congress making these e-mails public, their contents are now available to the media and all interested parties worldwide.
Why are these e-mails such a bombshell?
The explosive thing is that they make it very clear that we are dealing with a massive cover-up of the origin of the Covid pandemic. As early as January 2020 – before the first cases of Covid occurred in the USA or Europe – several leading virologists informed Anthony Fauci that the gene sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which was known worldwide since January 11, 2020, has a special feature, namely a so-called Furin cleavage site, which does not naturally occur in the type of corona viruses to which SARS-CoV-2 belongs.
This Furin cleavage site ensures that SARS-CoV-2 viruses can penetrate human cells particularly easily, so human-to-human transmission can occur very easily, in a way previously unknown for coronaviruses.
So this was something completely new and gave several virologists reason to conclude that SARS-CoV-2 was very likely of non-natural origin – in other words, that SARS-CoV-2 might actually have come from a laboratory in Wuhan.
When we last spoke, you pointed out that the proximity of the outbreak site to the world’s largest institute for corona virus research in Wuhan suggested this conclusion.
That’s right. In February 2020, two Chinese scientists first made this assumption public on “ResearchGate” website. Now we know that several famous virologists involved in a conference call Feb. 1, 2020, and in an e-mail exchange, actually had the same suspicion and issued a warning to Fauci as early as January 2020.
Top Virologists Warned Fauci of Lab Leak February 2020
From the e-mail correspondence, it appears that there was collusion, coordinated by Anthony Fauci, Francis Collins – then the head of the National Institutes of Health in the U.S., who actually resigned late last year – and Jeremy Farrar of the Wellcome Trust. The major consequence of this collusion was that within a few days, those who were involved in this conference call abandoned their original assumption and performed a 180 degree about-face.
What did these virologists do then?
Just two or three days after that conference call, they set out to do three things:
First, under the leadership of Peter Daszak, they organized that famous open letter in “
The Lancet,” signed by 27 leading virologists, denouncing the laboratory theory as a “conspiracy theory.” This was done at a time when no one could rule out a laboratory origin in any way.
Second, they sent a corresponding letter to the US National Academy of Sciences.
Thirdly, under the authorship of
Dr. Kristian Andersen, they submitted a publication to the journal “Nature Medicine” which strongly contributed to misleading the public and especially the media. The abstract of this publication states very strongly that a non-natural origin is out of the question, even though this question was actually left unresolved at the end of the article. Most readers probably did not read that far, however. As a matter of fact, the article makes no strong arguments either way.
These three measures played a key role in the fact that the world, and virtually all journalists, accepted the narrative that the laboratory theory is a conspiracy theory.
But now, explosively, it turns out that many of the virologists on this conference call were aware of a very different view, shared by three Nobel prize winners: Luc Montagnier of France, a Nobel laureate from Kyoto University, and a Nobel laureate from California, David Baltimore, who has even spoken of a ‘smoking gun’.
This means that the claim there was a “broad consensus” among virologists that SARS-CoV-2 was of natural origin – is now clearly refuted. On the contrary, there was a consensus among leading virologists that this Furin cleavage site clearly indicated a non-natural origin, i.e., a laboratory origin. This fact was deliberately twisted into its opposite for political reasons, and to shield virus research from public scrutiny, misleading the entire world.
Anthony Fauci has since defended himself in a television interview, saying that he had never ruled out a laboratory origin, merely considered a natural origin more likely, and still believes that. So allegedly, he has not changed his position at all.
But anyone can look up what Fauci really said between February 2020 and the end of 2020. Just like the other participants in the conference call, he was firmly in the camp of the zoonosis theory of natural origin. Which is no surprise considering that
in a paper ten years ago, in 2012, Anthony Fauci wrote that the knowledge we can gain from so-called “gain-of-function” research on viruses – including corona viruses – to make them more infectious to humans, outweighs the risk of a global pandemic.
First Rule of Global Pandemics: Cover Your Ask
So when it become obvious a global pandemic was looming in early 2020, originating in the vicinity of the labs that have done the most intensive research on corona viruses, and gain-of-function research in particular, Anthony Fauci of course immediately saw the danger. If this connection between the pandemic and a lab leak became established, it would not only be a problem for the Chinese, but of course also for himself and all the other virologists who supported this gain-of-function research over the past ten years or carried it out themselves, despite the moratorium the Obama administration placed on funding such dangerous research.
Anthony Fauci – and this is documented – circumvented this moratorium in place between 2014 and 2017, and continued to funnel funds to the Wuhan Institute of Virology through
EcoHealth Alliance. Of course, if the public had become convinced that it was this very lab that caused the current pandemic, Anthony Fauci, Peter Daszak, the president of EcoHealth Alliance, and all those involved would have been in deep trouble.
Of course, now that the cover-up has been exposed, they will be in even bigger trouble. But I think they actually believed they could get away with their cover-up.
But now Fauci & Co. have been exposed. The e-mail correspondence has become known, and Republicans in Congress are asking questions.
Yes, especially Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky, who has repeatedly gone after Anthony Fauci with unpleasant questions. There were several hearings, and other U.S. senators also questioned him. And it seems now that Fauci gave testimony before the U.S. Congress that many consider perjury. He testified under oath that the National Institutes of Health had not funded any gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute – although it subsequently emerged that such research had indeed been funded in Wuhan, and leading experts from the United States clearly regard this as gain-of-function research. There is no room for interpretation: research reports by the EcoHealth Alliance that have become public have confirmed that biotechnological manipulation increased the infectivity of coronaviruses. This is, by definition, gain-of-function research. That is why calls for Fauci’s resignation are sure to increase in the coming weeks.
You mentioned EcoHealth Alliance several times. Tell us about them.
EcoHealth Alliance, whose president is Peter Daszak [
appointed by the WHO 2020 to participate in the investigation into the origin of Covid-19 – Ed.], has collected extremely large sums of money over many years from various American companies and research funding institutions – starting with the NIAID headed by Anthony Fauci, but also from other American organizations, in order to investigate the pandemic potential of biotechnologically modified viruses. That is, they have been modifying coronaviruses in the lab and creating new chimeric (composite) coronaviruses to see how such alteration could make them more contagious to humans. The objective was to find out whether such changes might also occur in nature, and what dangers might be posed to humans. In fact, however, this research has produced no benefit at all in the last ten or fifteen years, but only significant dangers.
All clear-thinking scientists agree on this. Recent investigations – and this has become incredibly important in recent weeks, in addition to the publication of the Fauci correspondence – have shown that EcoHealth Alliance, led by Peter Daszak, but also involving Dr. Shi Zheng-Li from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and others, actually wrote in their research proposals that they intend to insert so-called Furin cleavage sites in both SARS and MERS viruses. MERS viruses are also coronaviruses, but they are 10 to 15 times more deadly than SARS viruses.
Virologists Planned Research that Exposed Mankind to Catastrophe
This has shaken the international community, because there is now a document that proves virologists actually planned and applied for experiments that have the potential to be a genocide-level event, to put it bluntly.
So virologists planned – and this is not speculation, but is documented in their proposals – research that would expose all mankind to the danger of a massive catastrophe. Everybody knows no laboratory in the world is safe enough for such research, and we know these experiments were not even carried out in labs of the highest safety level 4, but in level 2 labs. That is absolutely unconscionable.
So now the connection is very clear. These 2018 research proposals prove that the scientists involved planned to insert a Furin cleavage site into SARS-like coronaviruses to allow them to infect human cells much more readily.
And now we know from the Fauci e-mails that the leading virologists saw precisely this characteristic of the SARS-CoV-2 virus as a particularly strong indication of a laboratory origin.
When you put these two things together, there is no other possible conclusion than that this virus is the result of a laboratory accident in Wuhan.
No Other Possible Conclusion than Lab Accident in Wuhan
But it was not only the fault of the Chinese government and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, but of an international network of virologists. Is that fair to say?
Yes, especially as regards the participation of US scientists. In
my study on the origin of the corona pandemic, published almost exactly one year ago, I included a copy of the grant Daszak received from Fauci’s NIAID and pointed out that this extremely risky research was funded with U.S. taxpayer money, and that this extreme danger was created not only by the CCP, but also by the U.S. government, and that both countries had an interest in keeping the truth about the origin of SARS-CoV-2 secret.
