Fauci says natural origins theory of coronavirus is still the most likely

Acosta pressed Fauci to confirm he believes the natural origins theory is still the more likely scenario. "I do, right, and I'm not alone in that," Fauci said. "A recent paper was put out by 21 very well internationally-respected virologists and evolutionary biologists who said the same thing as I'm saying. And I rely on people like that, who have great experience in this. That's what they do every single day -- who, again, are open minded -- and are saying it's conceivable that you may have had a lab leak. So you've got to keep an open mind to all possibilities, but they feel that the more likely explanation is a natural evolution from an animal host to a human."
