Dr. Anthony Fauci recently published a new paper that touched on both HIV/AIDs and the COVID-19 pandemic — and in it, he not only doubled down on his insistence that COVID had a natural origin but also claimed that President-elect Donald Trump had suggested “bleach injection” as a possible treatment.
Jerry Dunleavy shared several excerpts of the paper via X, commenting, “Fauci is out with a new scientific paper on HIV/AIDS & COVID-19 where he falsely claims Trump told people to inject bleach & where he argues COVID-19 has a natural origin (Wuhan lab leak not even mentioned) by citing the same authors who wrote the infamous Proximal Origins paper.”

In the highlighted sections, Fauci wrote that “abundant evidence from top evolutionary virologists and leading scientists in other fields strongly suggests that the virus jumped species from an animal reservoir to humans at the Huanan Market in Wuhan, China, and then spread throughout China and the rest of the world.”
The former White House medical advisor added, “Trump gave credence to unproven and potentially dangerous substances for COVID-19 prevention and treatment such as bleach injection.”
What Trump actually asked, during a COVID-related press conference, was whether there was a way to use an injection to introduce the benefits of ultraviolet light or “almost a cleaning” to knock out the virus before it attacked the lungs.
Fauci’s new paper comes just as Trump has named Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, one of Fauci’s leading critics, to head the National Institutes of Health in the incoming administration.

Bhattacharya was one of the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, published in 2020, and voiced opposition to the widespread lockdowns and closures during the pandemic. He told Fox News in 2023 that both Fauci and then-NIH Director Francis Collins had “created an illusion of scientific consensus around their ideas and marginalized anyone that disagreed with them even though there wasn’t a scientific consensus. It’s a pattern of behavior that reflects an abuse of power by American scientific bureaucrats at the very top of our scientific bureaucracies.”
