The Lab-Leak Theory: Inside the Fight to Uncover COVID-19's Origins

[Sympthsical]

16. There are two major problems that people will fight to cover up

First, the funding. Part of it is the NiH grants. Now, I don't think the grants are a nefarious thing. We give grants all over the place. But when you have a few million dead, and you were funding it, it's a real bad look to people who don't understand how we do these things.

The second is how the media played this. I read about the Daszak connection to the February 2020 article in the Lancet a few days ago, just before this VF piece.

That one totally blew my mind.

The public was actively misinformed. I mean, it's so egregious. An active, behind the scenes campaign to shield the lab from any scrutiny whatsoever.

And it worked.

Anyone who questioned if the lab was the origin of virus was called a conspiracy theorist. We're still getting hides on DU for discussing it. This is crazy to me.

I don't think we'll ever definitively know what happened. There's absolutely no way with the CCP. But I think there will be enough circumstantial evidence coming to light where we will have more or less a basic idea. I think we're just about there.

I'm so glad Vanity Fair finally brought this into the mainstream. I've long admired their investigative pieces. This should've been mainstream a year ago, but here we are.

I agree with you. I think in all probability this was an accident, too.
