Fauci said the United States and China are both doing ‘a lot of pointing of fingers’ but need to ‘keep an open mind and go after the truth.’
Dr. Anthony Fauci wants the United States to go easy on China and stop being “accusatory” about the communist nation’s role in covering up the origins, spread, and data related to COVID-19.
