certainly means a group of bureaucrats who think they are untouchable and authority unimmind that s what we need out of our government. when you read the article in the australian. sherri markson reporter. she has written books origins of covid and get to the bottom of it. she got the great interview of robert cav electric. anthony fauci s because. she told her down play. come from the lab protect his reputation and deflect from risky coronavirus research his agency had funded. if you read the article down after a few paragraphs, it says the national institutes of health and other u.s. agencies funded 65 projects at the wuhan institute of virology over the past decade then they say on a private phone call they privately talked about how to turn down the temperature on
and they ve, also, said that researchers should look at other countries and whether covid originated from there. that has been china s view. pamela brown, appreciate it. thanks perspective now from josh rogan, washington post columnist, who s written extensively on the subject of the he is also author of chaos under heaven, trump, xi, and the battle for the 21st century. so, josh, you broke a story in the washington post in april of 2020 about two diplomatic cables from the state department that warned of safety issues within wuhan lab a couple years ago. it s certainly not a smoking gun. the cables. but but they did warn of risky coronavirus research and bad-safety procedures. and that i mean, if it s not a smoking gun, it s certainly, you know, a whiff of smoke. right. it s just to say that there have been concerns, for a long time, about the risky coronavirus research that was going on in a series of chinese labs, including the wuhan institute of virology. and again, t
part of the lab they didn t tell us about, risky coronavirus research they were doing with the military in a series of chinese labs. all of this is not proof. it s not a smoking gun. but what it tells us is there s enough there that we should check out the labs. then there s the coverup, of course, right? why did the take the virus database offline? why won t they let anybody into the labs? why did they censor all the scientists? why did they censor reporters who didn t toe the party line? that probably tells us there s something to find in the lab. we don t know, we have to do the investigation. but the whole idea that we shouldn t looked into it is i think rightfully being put aside. the origins of the actual virus itself, i mean, it s pretty clear it came from a bat, according to i mean, that s still believed to be correct, it s just the idea is that they were using or working with the coronavirus in this lab, doing experiments with it and that s how it would have leaked out?
