Know What’s Really Bad? Talking About Lab Leaks

See, it’s not China releasing the Wuhan flu, intentionally or unintentionally that’s bad, it’s talking about it

Covid lab leak theories ‘have put world at risk of a new pandemic’

Covid lab leak theories have put the world at risk of a new pandemic, claims a leading British scientist who was integral in shutting down debate over the origin of the coronavirus.

Sir Jeremy Farrar, the director of the Wellcome Trust, told a webinar on Thursday the theory meant that people started dishing out blame to Chinese authorities and academics in early 2020.

This, he said, ruined international co-operation, “shut the door” on identifying the possible animal origins of the virus, and left people exposed to zoonotic diseases.

“I think we are now very, very vulnerable to further animal viruses coming across [into people] because we have no international co-operation going on in terms of identifying animal viruses that would be a threat to humanity,” he said during the Royal Society of Medicine discussion.

Or, you know, China could just not f*** around with coronaviruses, with the help of people like Anthony Fauci, putting the world at risk.

“I believe we shut that door in January and February of 2020 [with the lab leak debate]. And, as a result, I’m afraid we’re at greater risk today than we’ve been throughout my professional career.”

We’d be at less risk if China was blamed properly, if this was fully investigated, and China was made to stop messing around with essentially biological weapons. But, the people who are beholden to China and look to curry favor with China want to protect China.

However, recently uncovered, unredacted emails reveal Sir Jeremy himself believed it was a possibility when he signed the now infamous letter.

In emails dated Feb 2, Sir Jeremy told Dr Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the US president, that “a likely explanation” for Covid’s origin was that it rapidly evolved from a Sars-like virus in human tissues kept in a low-security lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

He said this could have “accidentally created a virus primed for rapid transmission between humans”. In the same email, he said he was “70:30 or 60:40” in favour of a lab leak.

What could have possibly changed? Perhaps we need to be investigating his links to China and Wuhan.
