Jeffrey A Tucker(@jeffreytucker):This is Feb 6, 2020. Astonishing revelation: it was Fauci who pushed Trump to get Xi Jinping to allow a WHO delegation to tour Wuhan (in defiance of travel bans). They did that and the result was a puff piece on the glories of lockdowns, issued by WHO with an urge that the whole world would follow. The new information here: it was Fauci who pushed Trump to ask China for what turned out to be a Potemkin Village tour. It was decisive for the whole world. I'm just sitting here amazed because though I have written extensively on that trip and its implications, I never knew that it was Fauci who arranged it and Trump who asked for it. I'm absolutely gobsmacked.
