“Science” has been struggling for credibility ever since Climate Scientism sold its soul for a few shackles. By few, we mean, many billions, and settled science has forever more been a thing.
I know. Piltdown man was (around) a 40-year embarrassment of settled science, but Global Warming is nearing that age and better funded, so science on a global scale has never been in such dire straights.
Science can never be settled.
Science is forever under the microscope, existing as the current thinking or theory until another science tips over Newton’s Apple cart. But science, like history, is written by the victors or, in the case of science, by those pandering to whoever signs the checks. From Foundations to governments, special interest has driven outcomes sold as fact for as long as people have paid others to tell their preferred truth.
The Wuhan lab leak is no different. Tony “Tiny Shoes” Fauci was funding experiments at the Wuhan Institue of Virology (WIV) – likely illegal gain of function – and when the Chinese Flu popped up nearby, he had a lot of incentive to squelch stories that it leaked (or was leaked) from the lab, and did.
In early 2020, Dr. Kristian Andersen of the Scripps Institute and Dr. Robert Garry of Tulane University notified former White House COVID adviser and National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director Dr. Anthony Fauci that they took seriously suspicions that COVID first escaped from China’s embattled Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
“[O]ne has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features (potentially) look engineered,” Andersen told Fauci on January 31, 2020. COVID’s genome, further, seemed “inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory.”
In March, however, both signed onto a paper entitled “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” (Proximal Origin), which concluded the lab-leak hypothesis was not “plausible.” LifeSiteNews has previously reported that Fauci himself had previously unknown input into the final draft.
Not long after the paper went public, NIAID money began finding its way into the projects of Dr. Kristian Andersen and Dr. Robert Garry.
“Since changing their tune and publicly dismissing a potential lab leak following secretive conversations with Anthony Fauci, Garry and Andersen have received tens of millions in new taxpayer funds from the NIAID for wasteful, deadly, and dangerous virus experiments on primates and other animals,”
Much like the growing COVID response apology tour, the weight of evidence has dragged the Wuhan lab leak cat out of the Wuhan bag. Multiple reports from inside and outside the Government have given credibility to the theory, and the cuckold media are repeating them.
Progs who accused you of disinformation have considered scrubbing their social media of evidence that they fell for another false narrative. No one is admitting that, which is why the piece in the Examiner is important.
Huge sums changed hands throughout the so-called pandemic. Billions were made on the lives of millions who didn’t need to die. Disinformation and conspiracy theories continue to rack up wins as the truth. Folks who helped hide the facts were not given immunity deals from harm. Maybe they say they were following orders, but the sword of Damocles is hanging over many who should have known better or did.
The matter of incomplete informed consent has to, at some point, come back to bite someone with or without legalized immunity. That provision is based on an honest communication of risk which was provided to no one.
And here we have Fauci holding secret meetings with Lab Leak supporters who, after changing their tune, got 25 million for research from a guy who had a lot to lose if it were true.
And after Fauci retired, the Lab Leak story grew legs and became the more likely explanation. But we’ll never get that money back unless the same Government that helped hie it freezes bank accounts belonging to the benefactors, and it has no incentive to do that.
Nor is there much interest in an insider-turning whistleblower. No one wants to end up hanging from a tree by a power cord with a “self-inflicted” shotgun wound in their chest.
And yes, we appear to have a government just like that.
