A renowned scientist who led the condemnation of the Covid lab leak theory privately believed it was ‘high likely’, leaked messages show.
Dr Kristian Andersen, a Danish evolutionary biologist, co-authored a now-notorious research paper published in March 2020 that denounced the origin scenario as a conspiracy theory and xenophobic.
Yet Slack messages obtained by DailyMail.com show how just weeks before the publication of that paper, Dr Anderson told colleagues the idea of a lab leak was ‘not some fringe theory’ and was, in fact, ‘highly likely’ the genesis of the pandemic.
Separate, publicly-available communications between the virologist and his co-authors show how the group backed the natural origin theory – the idea the virus jumped from an animal to a person in the wild – for ‘political’ reasons and feared pinning the blame on the Chinese lab would cause a ‘s***show’ and threaten future funding of virus manipulation research.
Critics say the messages show how the scientific community conspired to censor debate about the origins of the pandemic, but the scientists involved claim they changed their minds between sending the messages and writing the paper.
Even little old me knew IMMEDIATELY it was from the Wuhan lab the millisecond I learned of its proximity from the wet market!
This one wuz a no-brainer for Occam’s rubber spatula!
Why do we have to keep saying this? Didn’t the Army release the ties to the Wuhan lab over 2 years ago?
And p.s. what about the ballots being routed through Germany in 2020? And why are they still getting away with killing millions around the world?
The bad guys are getting away with everything! At least for now they are, there will be a price one day.
They denied it was the Wuhan lab so quickly and so loudly that you just knew they were full of shit.
Better money and less harassment in denouncing.
It’s about the money for the egg heads. Then control, cheating at elections, plus money for the prostitutes, a.k.a. politicians, big Pharma, hospitals and media. And don’t forget kill off the useless eaters.
Did that cover it?
My understanding it that very early on, there was a conference call of about a half-dozen health experts, and by the time the meeting was over, the overall view was that it was a lab leak. Fast forward a couple of weeks later, and at least two of these experts were suddenly poo-pooing the lab leak theory — and also coincidentally their labs and agencies had received multi-milllion grants from the NIH and CDC. These fuckers have no moral compass.
A conspiracy.
Trust the scoience!
Escaped from a lab??? How about it was developed in a lab funded by US tax stolen dollars.
