The idea is laughable. This sounds like something in an episode of Alex Jones and/or QAnon.

Any other crank sources you'd like to share?

>Fact check: No, email to Fauci doesn't contain origin of a 'coronavirus bioweapon'

I didn't argue that the email contained claims about the 'origin'.

Email Subject:

> "Coronavirus Bioweapon Production Method"

Dated March 11, 2020.

So, you shared an email from a kook sent to Fauci. Is that your evidence? This is just copypasta from 2005 paper

https://www.pnas.org/content/102/33/11876

If you want to split hairs, you actually said:

> The Fauci emails in March 2020 that described the exact components of the virus ...

which is a complete lie. The email does NOT describe the components of the virus at all. You clearly are lacking in any sort of biochemical background as this is obvious. Do you actually fact check anything you are posting?
