Editor's Note: What is quite astonishing about the following exposé is that the inimitably treacherous Dr. Fauci was able to keep his Montana biolab under wraps for so long.  After nearly fours years of extensive investigations into the true origins of COVID-19, the following bombshell disclosures are being made only now.  And the bioweapon laboratory is right here in our own back yard.  Now that's an impressive cover-up!

US taxpayer money was used to experiment with coronaviruses from the Chinese lab thought to be the source of the Covid pandemic more than a year before the global outbreak, an investigation has found.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), under Dr Anthony Fauci's leadership, infected 12 Egyptian fruit bats with a 'SARS-like' virus called WIV1 at a lab in Montana in 2018.

The WIV1-coronavirus was shipped from the Wuhan lab the FBI believes caused the Covid pandemic and was tested on bats acquired from a 'roadside' Maryland zoo.
