Remember the debate at the beginning of the Black Sniffles about where Covid came from? It was always a sham to protect the Chinese government:
Protect science in China? Rather protect their own ties with China. Never underestimate how many of our elites are bought and paid for agents of China. Telling that this is coming out in a Brit paper and the US media is doing their worst to ignore it.

“Further debate about such accusations would unnecessarily distract top researchers from their active duties and do unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular.”*
Science can be harmed by truth and debate? My understanding of the word “science” must be obsolete.
“International harmony?” I’ll let you know when I stop laughing.
Clarissa explains it all.
Those people are one or more of the following: useful idiots, fellow travelers, traitors, on the CCP payroll.
Make them pay.
A total obscene outrage. Without clear and accurate information on the origins of the virus, how was it possible to even begin for formulate a proper response? Without knowing the details about how it was engineered and manipulated, how was it possible to even being to develop an effective “vaccine”? There are so many loose ends to this.
Fairly early on Luc Montagnier and David Baltimore offered their view that the properties of the virus suggested it had been engineered. Both were quite specific about how the virus differed from those which evolve naturally. Fauci and Collins were working to avoid being exposed as having financed the research at Wuhan through cut-outs, in defiance of federal statutes. Remember Oliver North and Elliot Abrams using shell-company transactions and solicited donations to circumvent a congressional ban on financing the Nicaraguan contras? They got prosecuted for that. Fauci and Collins will not be prosecuted because the nomenklatura is immune.
“My understanding of the word “science” must be obsolete.”
Yes it is. As obsolete as our former understanding of vaccine.
