Former CNN editor-at-large, Chris Cillizza, admitted he made significant mistakes in assessing Anthony Fauci’s credibility during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cillizza acknowledged he was wrong, dismissing President Donald Trump and others who questioned Fauci’s narrative.
The reporter even confessed that his trust in Fauci’s and Trump’s bias led him to overlook alternative perspectives.
As evidence supports the lab-leak theory, something which Trump and many conservatives said from the beginning, Cillizza admitted he was wrong.
Fauci is quickly becoming less credible in the mainstream due to his shifting guidance, missteps, and inconsistencies in his messaging.
President Trump evoked Fauci’s federal security detail last week, justifying the s decision by saying that former officials should not rely indefinitely on government-funded security

1/ I screwed up.
Back in May 2020, I wrote how Anthony Fauci had "crushed" Donald Trump's lab-leak theory for how Covid-19 originated
The CIA said over the weekend that they now believed the virus leaked from a lab.
