The COVID-19 Lab-Leak Theory Gains Traction

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, several prominent politicians and scientists suggested that the virus, SARS-CoV-2, was leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. Other hypotheses included suggestions that the virus jumped from animals to humans in a “wet” meat market in Wuhan.

Early censorship of lab leak hypothesis

The lab-leak hypothesis faced considerable derision and censoring in both the mainstream media and social media. However, now the evidence that the virus did leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology is mounting, and the mainstream media is finally taking notice.

A great deal of evidence exists that the Wuhan Institute of Virology participated in “gain-of-function” research on coronaviruses in collaboration with U.S. scientists. In fact, the institute received funding from the National Institutes for Health (U.S.). In addition, the evidence seems overwhelming now that the SARS-CoV-2 virus did come from a lab.

The censorship created an atmosphere that chilled investigations and conversations about the source of COVID-19. The COVID-19 science cult came “out of science, expertise, the university system, executive-branch ‘norms,’ the ‘intelligence community,’ the State Department, NGOs, the legacy news media, and the hierarchy of credentialed achievement in general.” That cult is now falling away to the truth.

Fauci supported the natural origin theory of SARS-CoV-2

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), supported the natural-origin theory for SARS-CoV-2 from the beginning. The MSM republished Fauci’s statements as hard proof that the lab-leak theory was just another extremist conspiracy theory.
