Apparently, it does not take too much to receive China’s equivalent of the Nobel Prize. Dr. Malik Peiris, a Sri Lankan virologist working in Hong Kong, who previously served on The Lancet medical journal’s COVID-19 origins investigation committee, has got one recently for his “research” that allegedly showed that Covid arose naturally and not from a CCP lab. For this gig he got a hot $ 1 million, which is not bad money at all. But unlike most Noble Prizes, based upon research grounded in reality, this claim is not withstanding scrutiny, so it is a prize of ideology only.
