both hypothesis including the lab leak they ended up hurting the credibility of science. dana: the debate over the origins of covid and credibility of our health officials leading the charge comes back today. dr. fauci is about to testify before a house panel on his response to the virus in his first public testimony in nearly two years. remarkable. it has been two years. welcome to a new hour of america s newsroom, i m dana perino. bill: good morning. i thought dr. redfield was very interesting last hour. i m bill hemmer. the pandemic may be officially over but the world may never fully recover from the damage it posed. a lot of questions finally getting more pointed. republicans on that committee are digging into the lab in wuhan china and whether a key fauci advisor was looking to evade laws, a cover-up. dana: the founder of public vcc. you follow it closely. i want to play some sound from democratic lawmakers questioning the conduct of dr. morens last week. what
it saved tens of millions of lives worldwide. i will now use my remaining time to directly address certain issues that have been seriously distorted concerning me. the first issue concerns my actions regarding the possibility that sars covid two might have resulted from a lab leak. on january 31, 2020, i was informed through phone calls with jeremyfer area, the director of the welcome trust in the u.k. and christian anderson a highly regarded scientists at scripps research institute that they and eddie holmes, a world class virologist from australia were concerned the again alm i can sequence of sars suggested the virus could have been manipulated in a lab. i participated in the conference call with a dozen international virologists to discuss this possibility versus a spillover from an animal reservoir.
before the most important election we have. trace: talking about the stuff on the twitter files. i believe there is evidence covid is tied to china s biological weapons program. will you subpoena intel officials on that front to get more information? i think i will probably happen in the intel committee but we do know. we don t know if this was a bio weapon or not. the intel committee has put out a report that it may be. we ll find out, i think they will focus. we are focused on how this thing started and i think one of the interesting things is why aren t the democrats interested in how this started? maybe if we had known how it really began it would ve helped us save lives and not lead to the loss in education for students, not lead to the shutdown of businesses, the attacks on our liberties. we know this, trace. on january 31, 2020, dr. fauci gets an email from dr. christian anderson. a guy doctor if y thought she
institution to answer these questions. i think that s an important thing that people realize. i think there s a lot of kicking the can down the road. after two years, we ve done a lot of studies. all of the effort points directly towards the laboratory. so maybe we don t need to get in the lab but it seems like this would be very hard case to prosecute if you don t get some cooperation from china. i m not a scientist but they say you need to get to the lab. dr. fauci could tell us. remember, i point to this. january 31, 2020 at 1032 p.m., dr. fauci gets an e-mail from dr. anderson that says, virus looks engineered, virus not consistent with evolutionary theory. that is in january 2020. fauci was in the know at the start. what did he do? he misled us over a year. i d like to get dr. fauci on the witness stand to answer our questions.
