New Delhi, 4 June 2021

As per news report of BBC, Dr Fauci has been the face of the nation's Covid-19 response, drawing both praise and criticism. And press secretary Jen Psaki said Dr Fauci had been an "undeniable asset". But emails have raised questions on whether he backed Chinese denials of the theory that Covid-19 leaked from a lab in Wuhan. A trove of Dr Fauci's emails covering the onset of the coronavirus outbreak were released this week to media under a freedom of information request.
