If you read the attached article, Fauci was fighting for greater funds and Trump answered by eliminating the pandemic agency. Fauci recognizes the fact that biological problems are not that unusual, but this one is certainly one of the worst. The intent of funding Wuhan is to learn how to minimize or prevent a problem, but clearly it got out of hand, whether the lab had any responsibility for it, or not.
Of course there are those who just believe that Fauci was tired of not getting air time, I'm happy to see him speaking out, even though his hands are somewhat tied by Trump.
