Fauci's culpability in gain of function experiments Discussed on Bill Maher

Astonishing discussion on Bill Maher as the panelists debate Fauci's culpability in gain of function experiments after reports that British intelligence knew covid was a lab leak back in 2020:
Bill Maher: "What do you think of news that British intelligence knew that covid was a lab leak in 2020?"
Andrew Sullivan: "Same with the German intelligence service.
Core paper that killed off any idea that this was a lab leak: 'Proximal Origins'
With Fauci and Collins, was a lie, a conscious lie.
This is so freaking obvious this is man made, one of them said.
Why would they lie to us about that?"
Maher: "The New York Times: said any questioning of this coming from a lab was racist.
Why people lost faith in the left: They do stupid stuff like that."
Sullivan: "This gain of function research was always dangerous. Anthony Fauci: Remember that name. There's a reason he was given a pardon going back to 2014."
Maher: "I don't think he did it for nefarious reasons. I don't think he's an evil guy, who's trying to get rich off this. He just made the wrong call."
Sullivan: "He knew the Wuhan lab had security levels that were the average of a dentists' office.
NIH NIAID helped fund it. You don't want to go down in history that helped develop the virus that helped kill millions of people."

'You don't want to go down in history that helped develop the virus that helped kill millions of people' that is Fauci's legacy.
