Exclusive | Fauci involved in ‘massive’ COVID-19 origins cover-up, FDA chief Marty Makary tells ‘Pod Force One’

Nov 26, 2025

Dr. Anthony Fauci orchestrated a “massive cover-up” about the origins of COVID-19 while serving as a top public health official during the coronavirus pandemic, Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary argued on the latest episode of “Pod Force One.”

Makary, a former professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, explained to “Pod Force One” host Miranda Devine that as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), Fauci went to great lengths to suppress the theory that COVID-19 leaked out of a research lab in China – something few in the medical community picked up on.

“One thing that’s extremely obvious that very few people realize, and certainly hardly anyone in the medical establishment where I come from realized, is that [Fauci] was involved in a massive cover-up of the origins of COVID, a massive cover-up,” the FDA commissioner said.

Single session of weightlifting improves executive function and processing speed

A new study found that processing speed regarding inhibitory control (the ability to suppress automatic or impulsive responses) and working memory improved in a group of participants after moderate-intensity resistance exercises compared to a group that was resting and watching a video during that time. Blood lactate levels and systolic blood pressure also increased after exercises. The paper was published in Psychophysiology.

Resistance exercises are physical activities that make muscles work against an external force, such as weights, resistance bands, or one’s own body weight. They are designed to increase muscle strength by challenging the muscles to contract against this resistance. Common forms include weightlifting, push-ups, squats, and exercises using machines in a gym.
