According to newly leaked video footage, Bancel’s 2021 interview with Atlas Venture reveals that he spoke with Fauci just a month before the COVID pandemic emerged in December 2019.
“At the end of the day we talked to Tony [Fauci] about something I’ve always been passionate about, which is outbreak and pandemic readiness because I knew the mRNA technology could go so fast,” Bancel can be heard admitting in the video.
