Ah yes, the New York Post. The radical Right wing news outlet for people who need a few lies to read about. Those folks are right up there with Breitbart. They haven't a chance against Fact Check.
PolitiFact - No, Dr. Anthony Fauci did not fund research tied to COVID-19 ‘creation’
The New York Post never filled in every detail. Which is why they were able to conveniently lie about it. These are the details;
That the NIAID funded the project is not in question. However, the WorldNetDaily article goes further than that, claiming that the grant covered "gain of function" research on a bat coronavirus, which "created" SARS-CoV-2.
Gain-of-function research is a controversial form of study that involves boosting the infectivity and lethality of a pathogen. Proponents of gain-of-function say it helps researchers spot potential threats to human health and allows them to figure out ways to tackle a new virus. Fauci has advocated for gain-of-function research in the past. In a 2011 article he co-wrote for the Washington Post, he promoted it as a means to study influenza viruses.
However, there’s no hard proof to support the article’s claims about gain-of-function research. The overwhelming consensus among public health experts is that the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 evolved naturally.https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/feb/08/worldnetdaily/no-dr-anthony-fauci-did-not-fund-research-tied-cov/

Here's the original letter from them, liar.
In other words, you LOSE!
