The wheels of the truth are turning slowly on the Wuhan lab leak scenario, and the role of US agencies in funding the research in the first place. One issue that came before the US House subcommittee investigating the matter was the influence of Drs. Francis Collins and Anthony Fauci, on the scientists who published the major paper at the time in 2020 in Nature Medicine, “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2.” The scientists had for a time supported the lab leak hypothesis, but then did a 180 degree turn. The issue was whether a bribe was made to exonerate the Wuhan lab, or whether influence was made. The core thing here is what was the motive for taking the heat away from the Wuhan lab, and as Robert Kennedy has proposed, the reason is that there was a cover-up because of US funding for the research.
