- Anthony Fauci knew nothing of David Morens’s actions regarding Peter Daszak, EcoHealth, or his emails, and David Morens was not an advisor to him on NIAID…
In his own 2024 House hearing, Fauci distanced himself from Morens, questioning whether the former colleague even reported directly to him. “With respect to his recent testimony before this subcommittee, I knew nothing of Dr. Morens’s actions regarding Dr. Daszak, EcoHealth or his emails. It is important to point out for the record that despite his title, and even though he was helpful to me in writing scientific papers, Dr. Morens was not an advisor to me on [NIAID] policy, or other substantive issues,” Fauci said at the time.
