Fauci believes the information about their illnesses, along with that of six miners who fell sick after entering a bat cave in 2012, may help explain the origin of the pandemic better.
, Fauci said he would like to see the medical records of three people from the Wuhan lab who got sick in November 2019,Fauci has asked Beijing to also release the medical records of six miners who fell ill in 2012 after entering a bat cave—three of whom died—as scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology later visited the cave to collect samples from the bats.
Fauci noted that he feels it’s overwhelmingly likely that the virus jumped to humans from animals but added that investigations need to continue until a possibility is proven. Fauci also pointed out that even if the Wuhan lab researchers did have Covid-19, there is a possibility they could have simply contracted it from the general public, but that could only be clarified through further investigation.: “I have always felt that the overwhelming likelihood — given the experience we have had with Sars, Mers, Ebola, HIV, bird flu, the swine flu pandemic of 2009 — was that the virus jumped species,” he said.
