I know nobody likes reading boring academic articles. But for those that like sources...

These are two studies performed by the Wuhan Institute which describe their process of creating genetic hybrids of natural coronaviruses like SARS and wild bat viruses and then infecting human cells with them. It is evidence of genetic engineering of coronaviruses over many years in the laboratory across the street from the so-called wet market.

At the bottom of these studies, the NIH and NIAID are listed as funders of these projects. That is Anthony Fauci’s agency. They donated millions of dollars to engineering new coronavirus strains.
