更新，後來我去找了訪問的原文，我覺得這邊其實是有爭議的。請大家閱讀測驗一下。
我看過之後認為，佛奇實際的意思，是說，你們這些參議員說得太扯了，美國沒有參與中國研發病毒。而他支持更多的調查。
但因為記者剛剛問他，你覺得病毒是自然產生的嗎？而他第一句就回：不，這就是我說過的重點。出現的時機很不好。
就字面上，跟就前後文意，的確有兩種解讀方式。
PolitiFact: That has been the subject of a lot of our fact checking on the coronavirus for the past year. And like you said, there's a lot of cloudiness around the origins of COVID-19 still. So I wanted to ask, are you still confident that it developed naturally?
Fauci: No, actually, that's the point that I said. And I think the real unfortunate aspect of what Sen. Paul did is he was conflating research in a collaborative way with Chinese scientists, which was, you know, you'd almost have to say, if we did not do that we would almost be irresponsible because SARS-CoV-1 clearly originated in China, and we were fortunate to escape a major pandemic. So we really had to learn a lot more about the viruses that were there, about whether or not people were getting infected with bad viruses. So in a very minor collaboration as part of a subcontract of a grant, we had a collaboration with some Chinese scientists. And what he conflated is that therefore we were involved in creating the virus which is the most ridiculous majestic leap I've ever heard of. But no, I'm not convinced about that. I think that we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we find out to the best of our ability exactly what happened. Certainly the people who've investigated say it likely was the emergence from an animal reservoir that then infected individuals, but it could have been something else. And we need to find that out. So, you know, that's the reason why I said I'm perfectly in favor of any investigation that looks into the origin of the virus.

反川陣營，把川普換掉後，漸漸地也走上了川普本來走的道路。
「曾再三堅決反對川普政府關於中國病毒實驗室起源論的美國國家過敏與傳染病研究院（NIAID）院長佛奇（Anthony Fauci），如今改口稱，他「不相信」病毒起源於自然。」
「佛奇曾經在《國家地理》雜誌2020年5月的一篇文章中聲稱，所有的證據都「強烈表明」病毒來自於自然，同時他「基於科學證據」，不接受病毒的實驗室逃逸論。
他的這一番講話，被當時的主流媒體解讀為對川普政府認為武漢病毒研究所與病毒來源有關的斥責。」
