he led the state department task force looking into the wuhan lab as covid-19 emerged. he's from the hudson institute. good to have you with us again. so you guys were at least investigating where this came from. since you stopped doing that, who has picked up that investigation at the u.s. government? >> no one in the u.s. government is investigating a thing. they're making a continued attempt to cover up all facts. they're being sought via freedom of information acts and congressional requests. known of which are being answered. i saw a recent right to know documents. 282 pages were blacked out. like four pages were. it's all about fauci's internal communication about what caused him to change his view that this thing may slipped out of a lab in 2020 and three days later he contracted and said conspiracy theory. so the conspiracy is with dr. fauci. that needs to be investigated. the who has just come out with a report as you just note, surprisingly is quite balanced asking key questions that need to be answered including lab leak and laying out ways and means to do it

we heard vonnie talk about his comments in wuhan, where he essentially said the economy could be the victim of a prolonged covid zero strategy, and will that apply to hong kong? will hong kong continue to be shackled to the covid zero policies of china, or will hong kong be allowed to chart its own course as an international financial center, as places like singapore, dubai, new york, london, chief competitors of the international stage for financial services which are completely opened up. in hong kong there has been clamoring for the relaxation of quarantines. china cut their quarantine for inbound arrivals by half yesterday. however, will hong kong cut that further? many businesses are essentially saying that it needs to be scrapped altogether. . what will xi jinping's tone be? will there be an olive branch, after a tumultuous five year term of carrie lam? or will he stand side-by-side with the successor to carrie lam, john lee, a lifetime law-enforcement officer? will there be more of a clampdown on political freedoms here in hong kong? or will john lee be able to chart a differe

the who chief believes covid did leak from a wuhan lab after a catastrophic accident in 2019 despite publicly maintaining all hypothesis remain on the table. my question, if they did say this is 100% where it came from, how can we ensure we will not see something like this happen again? >> lab leaks happen all the time, they happened before the covid lab leak in 1977 when china was found to be injected military recruits with experimental vaccine the same year a virus leaked from their lab. sars leaked after sars had gone away, after being worked on in the lab. this would not be the first lab leak and i don't think protocol has been put into place. the wuhan lab is renovated and has new wings and new labs in china to work on viruses. >> ashley: thanks for getting up with us, we appreciate it. and now congressman bryan steil just got back from a trip to the southern border and is here to tell us why things got heated with his democratic colleagues. >> griff: check in with steve doocy to see what is coming up on "fox and friends"? >> steve: coming up on "fox and friends," paying tribute

so he put two and two together is all the flights coming out of wuhan he realizes probably spreading all over the world and he said yes we haven't developed and we are not infectious disease experts we are cancer people but one of our approach is a simon or main one our approaches we have been developing as using mrna from going to get that a few minutes and explain it. these immunotherapy they use others one of the approaches was mrna. and they said maybe we can use mrna to develop a vaccine for this new virus, they threw themselves intos it. it is to their credit they picked up on the virus early and they threw themselves into it when others u didn't. i really want to emphasize that of unlikely heroes take a step back a second who should have been expected tond step up and save the day and develop a vaccine an effective vaccine to save lives? it should have been the vaccine experts. companies that produce vaccines, right? merck is considered the preeminent vaccine company. measles, mumps, rubella is merck they have a history of it i write about in my book. the fastening history but

turkey, and january 2020, an outdoor cafÉ and he said to his wife, i just read about this new virus and wuhan china and i'm worried and she said remember that last coronavirus a few years ago nothing emerge from that didn't last that long. and he said no, this is different and why was he so sure and certain something that was coming is because what he ratted he was smart to pick up on it is it was a symptomatic spread, as opposed to the earlier coronavirusha, this will be fild to they did not spread of the world because we could isolate those who have the disease whereas, this new virus, is a symptomatic spread and appointed, we don't know who will get it or staff any new is probably spreading within any realize thatig wuhan is an enormously bigger than new york and chicago combining put two and two together he saw flights coming out of wuhan any realize it was running out of the world and he said, yes we have to develop customer not even disease experts we are cancer people but, one of our approaches, that we've been developing is using mrna and i'm going to that in a minute la o explain it

in january of 2020 in an outdoor cafe and he said to his wife, i just read about this new virus in wuhan, china and i'm really word and she's like, oh, you know, don't you remember that last coronavirus a few years ago? nothing ever emerged from that, didn't last that long and he says, no, this is different. and why was he so sure? why was he so certain something bad was coming is because what he read, he was smart to pick up on that, was that there was asymptomatic spread of this virus, as opposed to the earlier coronaviruses. those were lethal, too, but those didn't spread to the world because we could isolate those who had the disease. whereas, with this new virus, it was asymptomatic spread. at that point we don't know who has it. we don't know who is going to get it and he knew by then, it was probably spreading and realized that wuhan is an enormous city and bigger than new york and chicago combined so he put two and two together and saw the flights out of wuhan and realized it's probably spreading all over the world and said we didn't develop anything, we're not infectious disease

it was probably spreading and he realized that wuhan is an enormous city. it's bigger than new york and chicago combined. so he put two and two together. he also saw the flights coming out of wuhan he realized those probably spreading all over the world and he said yeah, we haven't developed anything and we're not even infectious disease experts were we're cancer people but one of our approaches that's not even our main one one of our approaches that we've been developing is using mrna and i'm gonna get to mrna in a few minutes and explain it. but it was one of their approaches. they used immunotherapy. they used others, but one of their approaches was mrna and ubersai and said, you know what maybe we can use mrna to develop a vaccine for this new virus and they threw themselves into it and it's to their credit that they picked up on the virus early and that they threw themselves into it when others didn't and um, i want it really want to emphasize that theme of unlikely heroes because take a step back for a second who should have been expected to step up a

we had people saying donald trump said the wuhan virus or the china virus and the way that i think the ebola virus or the spanish flu, but this time it's racist and they really knew that. they understand the role of fentanyl in you know. coming across the border. they want an open border. they understand that major countries in europe like china and germany can have special trade relationships that sort of distance themself and they're really working on the german. so the germans are not on board with their apprehensions about china the way that we are countries like australia and japan are and so they because they have so many students here. and there's so many people. in china and because in our arrogance, we feel that anybody who comes over to america. and sees our music or popular culture or are natural beauty or diversity? they're going to love this country and we're going to convert them and then they're going to go back and undermine china. i don't think so. i think that more likely they look at this and say this is kind of fun and i like to indulge myself, but it's a decadence.

by all accounts, if you look back at wuhan, they had a more than two-month lockdown in 2020, and that hammered that economy in the central part of china, at the crossroads of key rail lines. it took more than a year for that city to recover. shanghai is going to be in a similar situation. port activity, the world's busiest ports, levels are about a quarter of pre-pandemic levels. there are supply snarls, and there are many businesses in shanghai. they are partying on the bet that the lockdown is essentially over, but businesses -- small businesses are still shut. the consumer is not back in force. go back to the old playbook -- spend, incur debt, build infrastructure. haidi: we will see how that plays out, especially when you have covid zero happening at the same time. stephen engle joining us from hong kong. now we go to su keenan in new york. su: hong kong bringing back one of its toughest covid zero measures, which these people with even mild infections and their closest contacts being sent to government facilities. since february, most mildly ill patients have been allowed to isol

the chinese foreign minister is in australia and he's asked about the strange outbreak of disease in wuhan, and he says it's containable, it's curable — no problem. at the same time, the chinese government were buying, hand overfist, ppe equipment in australia and elsewhere — here. so, not surprisingly, the australians say there should be a proper who inquiry because under the who international health regulations, the chinese had agreed article 6 that... 0k. as with others... hold on, hold on. that any epidemic disease should be reported in a timely way within 2a hours to the who. so the australians asked for an inquiry, so the chinese then blocked their exports. but where does this head? iwant... because if you have a world where supply chains are being separated across the world, you have nato talking so forcefully about china, is that world, where you have countries pulling apart, is it a safer world? it's a safer world if it stops, if it constrains bad behaviour by totalitarian states. look... but do you think it will? it's a feeble... do you think it will? erm, i'm not sure, but i

and even we knew by then it was spreading and you realize that wuhan is an enormous city or the new york and chicago. so he put two and two together. he also saw the e flights coming out and realize it's spreading all over the world and he said we have developed anything, where not even infectious disease experts, we are cancer people but one of our approaches is one of our approaches is using mrna. it was one approach. there's immunotherapy, they use others but one of our approaches is mrna and they say maybe we can use mrna to develop a vaccine for this new virus and they threw themselves into it. and to their credit they picked up on the virus early and threw themselves into it when others didn't and i really want to emphasize that theme of unlikely heroes. because btake a step back for a second. who should have been expected to step up and save hethe day and develop a vaccine to save lives? it should have been a vaccine experts. companies that produce vaccines. merck is considered the preeminent vaccine companies. they got the history of it and i write about it in my book a. a fascin

since covid was first identified and reported in the chinese city of wuhan back in december 2019, 6.3 million people have died of it, and 545 million cases of it have been confirmed. yet now, especially in europe and the western world, it feels as though the disease has passed us, even though it actually hasn't. it's as though we couldn't take all the restrictions it brought any more. life has opened up and only a minority of people are wearing masks now. in china, by contrast, the epidemic still dominates everything. i talked to fergus walsh, the bbc�*s medical editor, about the world's experience of this modern day plague. covid is going to be with us for years and years to come. and there was a lot of talk right at the beginning about herd immunity — the idea that we'd all get it once and then that would be it. well, now you can get omicron, the latest variant of concern, and you can get that again and again. so it's going to be, in a way, a little bit like flu and vaccines will be our best protection against it. they have been the extraordinary success story of this pandemic.

we have had the wild type, the wuhan one, then we had alpha, delta, and now we have 0micron. 0micron is giving us variants of itself, unlike the other ones. so we have now got... it gets a little bit complicated with the letters and the numbers. so we have got ba1, 2, 4 and 5. and 4 and 5 appear to be a little bit more be a little bit more transmissible than 1 and 2, which is what we had as the basis for our last wave. it is not anything to panic about, it is not escaping the vaccine, it is not different in terms of its fundamental core disease, but it likes to transmit, so it is finding vulnerable people and it manages to bridge that gap. so the same things apply. we are in control here, we can get vaccinated, we can stay off work if we are ill, and if we are an employer, we can make that easier, so we can allow people to be off work if they have got an infection. you say hitting vulnerable people, people need to get vaccinated, of course, what is the vaccination picture in scotland in terms of those who still have not been vaccinated or who have not had the booster? it is really, r

don't forget the decimation inflicted on the world because of the wuhan virus and also aliens of dollars stolen by the chinese communist party here at home and millions of american jobs. this administration does not see that partly because of climate change folks who put that is their top priority the first one to meet from president xi was not secretary blinking or austin or president biden the former secretary of state john kerry was sent to beijing to say this is what america demands not something that remotely gives him any heartburn july 2 john kerry. also with a lot of greedy companies making a lot of money working alongside the chinese communist party today whether hollywood, technology companies, financial institutions working ways that are deeply detrimental and the biden administration is allowing them to do that in ways that they have to know from ordinary americans. mark: i remember a day when corporations were patriotic. i remember a day when athletes would leave their positions on a team to join the united states military. today they trash the country. they make a fortune w

since covid was first identified and reported in the chinese city of wuhan back in december 2019, 6.3 million people have died of it, and 545 million cases of it have been confirmed.

so with china and wuhan what the president should have known or when come also just to reflect a little that between the white house and china on a number of issues but particularly the last early reporting and in an honest way.ul and then that ultimately led to the president sending a letter to the un secretary-general and not giving a 12 month notice of withdrawal from who. how did that unfold in the white house and how did that play into the early days of the us covid response? >> i was here and i could never really understand. but when i arrived at the white house, nobody gave me any cia or cables to suggest their words information through secure channels house accused would be. i heard about bob woodward interview i was as shocked as america because when i arrived, and when i say no one, no one in the white house from the nfc to the cia to the vice president, no one shared with me that they had an understanding about the severity. my feeling is they are not taking this as significantly as i think it will be. that's why we have to make these changes.f but that was very disconcerting

., in fact the head, knows wuhan virus came from the wuhan lab. the quote, the head of the world health organization privately believes the started from a leak from chinese laboratory. publicly the group remain all hypothesis about the origins of the population, tedros, not going to do it, director general of the world health organization recently confided to a senior european politician the most likely explanation was a catastrophic accident at a laboratory in wuhan where infections first spread during late 2019. >> how sick are you hearing these kinds of statements two years after the fact? will: still only privately. rachel: we've all known this since it happened. it was so obvious there's a virology lab right next to the market. is it going to come from the market or leak from the lab that is actually handling covid and -- it is just -- pete: we've known this from the beginning. w.h.o. knew this from the beginning. rachel: yep. pete: w.h.o. kowtowed to china, ignored the science because of the power china has in the w.h.o. donald trump pulled

private told a senior european official he thinks the virus spread after a catastrophic accident at the wuhan lab in 2019. however, the official stand is all possibilities are still on the table. beijing disputing the idea covid spread after a lab leak in the world health organization has called it "a conspiracy theory." covid-19 has killed more than 18 million people across the globe. and cdc director dr. rochelle walensky signing off on covid vaccines for babies as young as six months old. the vaccine will allow to begin this week but it is unclear how strong the demand will be. and this twitter post, take a listen. >> we have taken another important step together in our fight against covid-19 by making state and effective vaccines available for the little ones. >> griff: statistics show 442 children ages four and under have died in the u.s. from covid-19 since the start of the pandemic. fox news medical contributor dr. marty makary will join us to discuss the vaccination drive later in this program. ashley. >> ashley: thanks, griff mayor eric adams giving unvaccinated workers another shot

that xi jinping has left mainland china since the covid pandemic first erupted in the chinese city of wuhan at the end of 2019. he was greeted by a flag-waving crowd at a train station here. take a listen to what he said. >> translator: over the past few years, hong kong has withstood one severe test after another and overcome one risk and challenge after another. after weathering the storms, hong kong has emerged from the ashes with a vigorous vitality. >> reporter: now, hong kong has changed a lot since the last time xi jinping was here five years ago. for one thing, there has been a harsh crackdown on any form of organized political opposition. the elected lawmakers and legislature who were serving five years ago, who openly criticized the chinese government, most of them are either in jail or they have fled overseas. protests have not been allowed here by the police in more than two years. independent newspapers and news outlets have been shut down, dozens of labor unions and student unions also shut down. so the pesky criticism and forms of dissent that mainland china doesn't tolerate

why would a team from the world health organization finally turn their attention to a lab in wuhan? >> there is every reason to believe that the jumping of species from an animal reservoir occurred. home pricese breaking records. now is the time to turn your home equity into cash. you can get at least 25% more cash at newday than you get at a bank. 25% more cash to make home improvements. 25% more cash to pay bills. 25% more cash for retirement. call now and get an average of $60,000. veterans get more at newday usa. for investors who can navigate this landscape, leveraging gold, a strategic and sustainable asset... the path is gilded with the potential for rich returns. >> tech: cracked windshield? make it easy and schedule with safelite, because you can track us and see exactly when we'll be there. >> woman: i have a few more minutes. let's go! >> tech vo: that's service that fits your schedule. go to safelite.com. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ when aspen dental told me that my dentures were ready i was so excited. i love the confidence. i love that i can

all of whom suggested that it wasn't likely the lab leak in wuhan was the origin of this virus. that is why members of congress are going to be pursuing this. number one, people need closure as to what happened. we watched maybe 10 million people worldwide. number two we got to prevent this from happening again. that is why i would encourage dr. fauci and doctor collins to finally condemn all gain of function research in perpetuity with a worldwide band. they have never retracted their advocacy for gain of function research. to me which is remarkable. >> you think doctor fauci retired if the republicans take back control of congress? you think he stepped down ahead of that? >> i do. he think he will step down in about a year because doctor fauci is a very smart man and he is manipulative -- he has maneuvered the iraq mercy serving eight different presidents for he is a smart man pretty knows politics he knows not what damning things on e-mail. if you think about two years of e-mails that have been discovered, very little condemning stuff is come out of this is a very smart man.

this is the same woke organization that had a problem with wuhan virus. we saw how that turned out at the bat fillet stand at the wet market and never recovered. it's true. sounds delicious. really, if they're worried about animal names, what about their hippo cratic oath? i know that's disgusting. we go now to the doctor in charge of changing the name.

[monkey noises] >> greg: tyrus, i've been trying to come up with names. do you have any? any new names? >> no, but i've got a slight observation. the big thing is stigmatism, think of it as racist but they made a racist or a horrible stereotype in their thing saying that only monkeys come from africa. ever been to south america? ever been down there? they have a [bleep] ton of monkeys down there. so you're gonna get rid of the name so you're going to get rid o

fauci who continues to send their money to sloppy wuhan labs that do gain-of-function research in china. but fauci knows what it was like for the rest of us in a way now, i guess, forced to miss a very important events, his own daughter's wedding. we actually do feel bad for fauci. every father should be able to walk his daughter down the aisle. we hear the wedding was wonderful, and we got a copy of the invitation. it was meant for geraldo rivera, but was mistakenly sent to me, and the guests were given the option between steak, chicken, or backed. that sounds lovely. on the bright side, fauci was able to face time into the ceremony and deliver a toast. we sincerely hope he recovers quickly and just want to remind him how to deal with this strange disease. >> don't let it dominate to you. don't be afraid of it. you're going to beat it. >> jesse: hillary clinton wrote a deeply erotic novel, and we got a taste of it. if you ahead. ♪ ♪ ♪ and party every day. ♪ ♪ i want to rock and roll all night ♪ applebee's late night. because half off is just more fun. now that's eatin' good

are quarantining, riddled with a guilty conscious about your fingerprints being all over the sloppy wuhan lab and your fingerprints being all over these horrific lockdowns which didn't make a damn bit of difference according to johns hopkins. think about what you want to say to us when you recover because you've said a lot already. and this is the only thing america really wants to hear from you about at this point. listen, fauci, don't beat yourself up, this was bound to happen. as someone once said you have to have to learn to live with the virus. at least this will make a great last chapter in your book. clay travis is the founder of outkick and host of the clay travis and buck sexton show. i think again, clay, we have to say we were being a little sarcastic there with the good doctor. we obviously hope he's fine and, you know, he will be fine, i'm sure. but it is a little silly that at this point fauci got the ronna. >> well, jesse, certainly i want him to be well. i think this is what happens when you don't get the fifth shot. if it was not the fifth shot maybe the sixth or seven. i

just very briefly in the early days of china and wuhan and what the president knew or should have known and when it also just reflect a little bit about the significant clash between the white house and china on a number of issues. particularly the lack of early reporting and of early reporting in an honest way in terms of disease transmission and that ultimately led to the president sending a letter to secretary bute terrace about not giving 12 months notice from w.h.o.. how did that unfold in the white house and how did that play into the early days on the u.s. response in the global covid response? >> larry i could never really understand. when i arrived at the white house know when gave me any cia cables to suggest that there was information coming in through secure channels about how severe this would be. when i heard that word word -- bob woodward interview i was a shock as america was. and when i say no one, no one in the white house from the nfc to the cia to the vice president and the president no one shared with me that they had an understanding about the severity. my feeling

as the coronavirus wafted from a chinese military biolab in wuhan and settled over the united states, tony fauci was the man americans looked to for guidance. he was are sherpa, a diminutive spirit guide. these masks actually work, we wonder? no they don't, dr. fauci replied firmly. "there's no reason to be walking around with a mask, he told "60 minutes" in march of 2020." that turned out to be not quite accurate. in fact there was a reason to walk around in a mask but it had nothing to do with public health. the experience of being forcibly masked was so unpleasant and so humiliating, it distracted you from other questions such as where does this virus come from anyway? someone who would help fund the developed of covid with your tax dollars, fauci was strongly in favor of you being distracted so he upped it. soon he was demanding that we mask up, including outdoors and exercising, even alone in your car, and so we did. by january of 2021, even that guidance had proved to be inadequate because people were still persistently asking where the hell does this virus come from so he had t

you can start in wuhan. i hear there is a lab there up to some shenanigans. you might want to check it out. and the black lives matter protests in 2020, were they really mostly peaceful? and where did all that money go that they raised? and last, but certainly not least, hunter biden's laptop. there are a lot of goodies in there. have you guys seen it? people are calling it the laptop from hell. now, this is just a starting point. there's a lot more work to do and i am happy to help. cnn, if you need any more story ideas or advice you can text me any time. my number is on the screen. according to joe biden, the biggest threat to our nation is domestic terrorism. he talks about it wherever he goes. so you would think that when a group of anonymous terrorists start fire bombing buildings, he would take notice. but you would be wrong. biden hasn't said a word about the new extremist group targeting pro-life charities. they call themselves james revenge and like a terrorist cell they have been activated by the supreme court leak. a leak that for some reason law e

yeah, very very important point just very briefly on the early days of you know, china and wuhan and you know, what what the president, you know knew or should have known and when and also just reflect a little bit about you know, there was a significant clash between the white house and and china on a number of issues. but particularly the lack of early reporting and and lack of early. reporting in an honest way in terms of human to human transmission and then that ultimately led to the president sending a letter to secretary gutierrez the un secretary general and not giving a 12-month notice of of withdrawal from from who how did you know how did that all unfold in the white house? and how did that play into the early days? of the us covid response and the global covid response you know larry i wasn't here and i could never really understand. so when i arrived at the white house, no one gave me any cia or other cables to suggest that there was information coming in through secure channels about how severe this would be. so when i heard that bob woodward interview, i was as shocked

it should be clear possibility that the pandemic came from accidental release in a lab in wuhan. the chinese government is blocking the investigation that we need and putting the world 59 risk. will: this conversation i would like to go with you on. there is skepticism towards 9 w.h.o., and sounds to me that the w.h.o. still serve as vital function and has independence in its decision making. that is something we should discuss much, much further. i appreciate what you offered us this morning. thank you. >> thank you. will: now to chief meteorologist, meteorologist adam klotz who is live at the new jersey rock gym in fairfield. he is not up on the wall just yet. adam? adam: i'm not just on this wall yet. when you think of rock climbing you think of the tall walls. you see them all over the place. the popularity really exploded. since the last olympics we had rock climbing for the very first time, more of entry level, doesn't mean it is easier. more entry level is bouldering. why is that. this is shorter but if you fall you don't need the rope, ideally not hurt yourself. that is w

. >> i think that's what happened in the situation at the lab then wuhan. i believe it came from the lab it was gain of function research from whatever they said from a back to a penguin to a hippopotamus. the last thing i would say is in your testimony you said being critical of the biden administration they shouldn't base decisions about pandemic response on polling. what we hear from the other side is that republicans are interested in the politics but they are basing it on polling those who trust the science? joe biden said if you have these vaccinations you will not get covid. that was a flat out lie and the government already knew that wasn't the case but he made the statement anyway. we support the science not the polling or the lies or don't trust the government we want to trust and so with that i yield back. >> mr. chairman, just to clarify, what i said is we did not know at that time whether the vaccines would provide that protection or not. >> actually i asked the question when the government tells us that the vaccinated could not get the virus w

strain, they don't work against wuhan but offer some protection against severe illness in people who haven't had covid, who haven't had omicron in particular. omicron is ubiquitous and almost inevitable and the moderna vaccine has higher rates of myocarditis. this was try to your go, the fda was considering the vaccine for teenagers. in parts of europe, moderna is restricted. stuart: in lockdowns, reportedly hurt our children's immune systems and now some kids are being infected with three viruses at the same time. is that accurate? >> lockdowns have ignited a mental health crisis, we are seeing mortality and all sorts of issues far worse than the virus itself. it is not clear why kids are coming into the hospital in the united states in the summertime with two or three infections like rsv and influenza. sometimes 3 or 4 infections. one theory is they are living and what immune bubble that are more susceptible which another is the viruses interact, that is why you are likely to get the. ripple infected. stuart: i get the feeling among the people i know that they just want to get thro

the man who got us through the pandemic as the coronavirus wafted from a chinese military biolab in wuhan and settled over the united states. tony fauci was the man americans look to for guidance.p he was our sherpa, our diminutive spirit guide to these masks actually work, we wondered. no, they don't, dr. fauci replied firmly quote there's no reason to be walking around with a mask. he told 60 minutes in march of02 2020 that turned out to be not quite accurate. in fact, there wasn a reason tok walk around in a mask but it had nothing to do with public health. the experienceh of being s forcibly masked was so unpleasant and so humiliatingo it distracted you from other s questions such as where's this virushi come from anyway? as someone who would help fund the development covered with your tax dollars, fauci wou was strongly in favor of you being distracted so he soonpp changed the guidance. he upped it. so in fact he was demanding that we matched up including outdoors and exercising even in your car .an and soua we did by january of 2020 one even that guidance had proved to be inadequate
