Dr. Fauci Jokes About Creating COVID-19

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci was blasted by conservatives on social media after joking that he created the coronavirus in his kitchen.

"At the epicenter of the initial outbreak, WA1 – Washington 1 is considered the ancestral model strain," Dr. Larry Corey said to Fauci during a discussion at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center campus in Seattle, Washington, where Fauci was receiving an award on Tuesday.
