If the YouTube video in the article disappears, go here: MIRROR: FAUCI LIED, PEOPLE DIED (PART 1 PUBLIC). This video traces the Fauci email chain beginning January 31, 2020 and into February, resulting in a “research article” published by participants in the teleconference with Fauci mentioned in the emails. The cover-up timeline is summed up at about 30:45. Note: It appears that the maker of the video mistook the 9 next to the pencil icon as the day of the date. The true publication date of the “research article” appears to be February 16, 2020. - February 16, 2020. “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2 – SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus / NCoV-2019 Evolutionary History.” Virological.
