Dr. Anthony Fauci messaged his boss in early 2020 about work done at a Chinese laboratory that received funding from the U.S. government, a newly disclosed email shows.

Dr. Francis Collins, at the time the director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), sent Fauci a preprint study (pdf) from Zhengli Shi, a top researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a high-level laboratory located in the same city in which the first cases of COVID-19 were reported.
