The country is still suffering under burdensome government-imposed lockdowns.
Meanwhile, so-called “experts” are constantly flip-flopping on positions related to the coronavirus and moving the goalposts.
Now the Fake News Media is pushing one story about lockdowns that’s quickly falling apart.
Over 2.3 million people worldwide have died with the coronavirus, and many countries remain locked down.
For nearly a year, the so-called “mainstream” media have made it taboo to ask questions about the origins of the virus.
The official line was that it came from a wet market in Wuhan, not the level-four biohazard lab one block away.
When Senator Tom Cotton floated the idea that the virus perhaps came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (that had been experimenting on coronaviruses in bats), he was immediately rebuked.
But later The Washington Post was forced to admit that perhaps Cotton was onto something.
Since then, the Chinese Communist Party has ramped up its propaganda campaign, and the World Health Organization just announced that it was “extremely unlikely” the virus came from the lab.
ABC News and CBS News dutifully parroted this talking point, but the lab leak hypothesis continues to pick up momentum.
First, the WHO cannot be trusted because the organization is clearly in China’s pocket.
WHO physician Bruce Aylward abruptly ended a call with a journalist when she inquired about Taiwan’s inclusion in the organization; China does not recognize the independence of Taiwan, thus the WHO does not, either.
The Washington Post, which originally excoriated Senator Cotton, recently published an article from its editorial board expressing:
“[T]here is another pathway, also plausible, that must be investigated. That is the possibility of a laboratory accident or leak. It could have involved a virus that was improperly disposed of or perhaps infected a laboratory worker who then passed it to others.”
Evolutionary biologists Brett Weinstein and Heather Heying appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher and said the lab leak hypothesis was likely because of the virus’s gain of function, i.e. natural viruses that pass from animals to humans tend to be weak.
Maher asked if it was a 50-50 proposition that the virus came from the Wuhan lab.
Weinstein replied:
“Oh, it’s far more likely than that. As a matter of fact, I said I think in June that the chances that it came from a lab looked to be about 90 percent, so this was never a conspiracy theory. In fact, that term is simply used to make it go away. It’s an obvious hypothesis that is in need of testing and we are only now a year in getting to the point where we can discuss it out loud without being stigmatized.”
The Fake News Media is attempting to absolve China of blame, but actual scientists are singing a different tune.
The CCP’s complicity – before and after the spread of the virus – cannot and will not be swept under the rug.
