Dr. Anthony Fauci says he has not reviewed any U.S. intelligence on lab workers who allegedly got sick at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in autumn 2019, while he also continues to deny that the National Institutes of Health approved funding for gain-of-function research at the lab.

Rep. Mike Gallagher, a Wisconsin Republican, asked Fauci in May if he agreed with World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus that the Wuhan lab leak hypothesis required further investigation and whether he believed that further investigations should include looking at sick researchers at the Wuhan lab.
