Megyn Kelly convinced Anthony Fauci ‘started the COVID pandemic’

Podcaster Megyn Kelly boldly asserted her belief that retired National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci “started the COVID pandemic.”

In a clip posted to X, she said that it was her opinion that Fauci was responsible for the pandemic, noting his funding of gain-of-function research in the Wuhan lab before asking “what are the odds” that the coronavirus research they were conducting “had nothing to do” with the disease that swept the globe.

Speaking with her guest Mike Solana, Kelly suggested that the connection between Fauci and the COVID-19 pandemic was too much too ignore.

“My opinion is Anthony Fauci started the COVID pandemic. He funded that gain-of-function research in the Wuhan lab. We know that they were studying bat coronaviruses to try to make them more dangerous,” she said. “What are the odds that that research we funded had absolutely nothing to do with the actual virus? There’s been no proof of it, but we haven’t looked!”

“I’m well beyond that at this point,” Solana said. “I don’t want to say it was done on purpose by China, but Trump was very popular at the end of his term before COVID happened. Very, very popular. The stock market was ripping, there was no more like anti-Trump derangement. People had kind of resigned themselves to it, he was going to win [the 2020 election], and then there was a pandemic, and he lost. And who was being hurt the most by his trade policies? China was being hurt the most.”

“That’s why people call it the ‘Plandemic,’” Kelly agreed.

X users weighed in on the theories:

Agreed, but to a certain extent. It was accidentally on purpose. Or why else would they be researching it if not to be used at some point? ‍♀️

Fauci’s people were advised that gain-of-function research was a possibility with their Wuhan grant. They approved it anyway.

Always felt that way. Otherwise an amazing coincidence.

There’s is an entire issue that people forget and it was the protests in Hong Kong during that time. A more likely possibility is that a mistake happened during the attempted release of Covid into Hong Kong to silence and control the people, but instead it got released in Wuhan.

Yes, the timing was the clincher.

Election interference of the highest degree.

If they thought this was justified, does it not give you pause as to what they’ll resort to next?
