Faucis Diary Said The COVID Market Wasnt The Source - He Told America Something Else [19xvg1MA5GL]
Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul (R-KY) played a video contrasting Dr. Anthony Fauci's public television appearances with entries from his own private diary — raising new questions about what Fauci knew, and when, about COVID-19's origins. THE SETUP: Dr. Fauci did not appear at Thursday's hearing. Paul, who has released more than 1,100 pages of Fauci's diary from the pandemic, used his time to compare Fauci's on-camera statements pointing to a Wuhan wet market with a diary entry from January 26, 2020, in which Fauci wrote that the market "was not the source, it was the amplifier." WHAT HAPPENED: Paul argued the diary shows Fauci privately doubted the wet-market origin story years before saying so publicly, calling it a "level of dishonesty" that is "astounding." Paul also raised gain-of-function research and natural immunity policy as part of his broader critique of Fauci's pandemic response. IN FAIRNESS: The full diary entry is more layered than a single line suggests. Immediately after questioning the wet market as the source, Fauci wrote that "somewhere the virus jumped from animals to humans" — still describing a natural-origin theory, not a lab leak. Reporting that reviewed the complete diary noted it does not contain a "smoking gun." It's also worth noting: as of 2026, the U.S. intelligence community itself has reached no consensus on COVID's origin. The FBI and Department of Energy assess a lab-related incident as more likely with low-to-moderate confidence; the CIA shifted to a similar lean in 2025 but holds only "low confidence"; other intelligence elements still favor a natural spillover. Fauci was not present to respond directly, though he has said elsewhere that he denies misleading Congress.
