The lab leak hypothesis, dismissed by the mainstream media only months ago, is “back on the menu, boys!” Even the Australian Financial Review, May 29-30, 2012, p. 14, carries an article, “Lab Escape Could Pip the ‘Bat Jump’ Theory.” The bold type proclaims: “[A lab leak] has hardly been investigated at all … information has simply not been available.”” In December 2019, the few remaining free investigators, noticed that the coronavirus outbreak was dead close to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where scientists were working on corona viruses. No, the majority of scientists said, it could not be, it must have arisen from the wet markets, pretty dirty places at the best of times. The science journals did not publish research which cast doubt upon this. However, one letter in The Lancet, condemning the lab leak hypothesis was organised by a scientist of an organisation which had funded coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology! Whoa, massive conflict of interest, but that is science for you!
Fast forward to earlier in May 2021, and the journal Science published a letter from 18 top epidemiologists and geneticists, calling for an independent inquiry. The lab hypothesis is the simpler explanation, given that the infected bat population, and intermediary host has never been found. Further, as had been pointed out by the early critics of the zoonosis hypothesis, Covid-19 was well adapted to infect humans, so well, it looked like it had been designed that way! Let’s ask Covid guru, who was in on ground zero of this, Dr Fauci.
