Updates & Corrections

  • Correction 04 June 2024: An earlier version of this story said that Anthony Fauci sent an e-mail to a prominent virologist in February 2020. The e-mail was sent to a prominent scientist (Jeremy Farrar) and discussed a phone call that Fauci had with a virologist (Kristian Andersen) discussing concerns about a lab leak. Earlier, the story also said that Davids Morens’s hearing was on 23 May. It was on 22 May.
