Tulsi Gabbard has released more documents that question the official line on the COVID pandemic and in particular, the role of US COVID-czar Dr. Fauci.
Factually [1] asks the question:
Did Tulsi Gabbard’s Documents Prove Dr. Fauci Caused the COVID‑19 Leak?
None of the provided sources, however, contain conclusive forensic evidence in this packet proving Fauci personally engineered a lab leak or “caused” the pandemic; the documents as described are presented as intelligence and whistleblower material subject to further review, not as adjudicated findings in a court or definitive scientific proof [1] [2].
But that is the wrong question and a question that has nothing to do with the rationale for the document release.
It would be very difficult for anyone to prove that the COVID leak was down to one individual especially after all this time.
The point of the document release is to claim that Fauci lied and misled people about the Wuhan lab and his role in it.
Australian journalist, Sharri Markson, who did not have access to these released papers in 2021 tweeted:
Fauci wrote in 2012 that gain-of-function research could spark a pandemic but he felt the benefits of it outweighed the risks.
Now we learn he knew about the unusual features of Covid-19 early last year but didn’t say a word.
This is a monumental cover-up. He needs to resign.

The Guardian (and others at the time) essentially branded Markson as some kind of dumb, unscientific conspiracy theorist (i.e. the science is settled - it was not a lab leak):
The real point is that most people in the world at the time, who were not biolab insiders, had no idea the Wuhan lab existed and had been doing gain-of-function research on COVID viruses using bats for years.
So it seemed doubly frightening that the virus seemed to come out of nowhere. But the reality is that it didn't come out of nowhere.
People still seem to be trying to make out that the COVID outbreak had nothing to with the US and other nation funded biolab nearby that had been doing gain-of-function research on COVID viruses using bats for years.
The question you have to ask is why?
