“There was a study recently that we can make available to you, where a group of highly qualified evolutionary virologists looked at the sequences … in bats as they evolve. And the mutations that [the COVID virus] took to get to the point where it is now is totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human,” During the conference, Fauci spoke.
