"The secret messages behind the lab-leak cover-up” | Ian Birrell

Where oh where did that pesky virus come from?
Final para:

It looks beyond doubt that Beijing’s cover-up was aided by an outrageous attempt to suppress global debate, led by the Western scientists we should have been able to trust to search for the truth and guide an unshackled debate based on hard facts. They were assisted by patsy politicians, supine journalists and complicit scientific publications. This murky affair appears to be the most terrible betrayal of science — and indeed of democracy — that was far darker and more disturbing than those sinister events that felled Oppenheimer seven decades ago.

It seems to be an ongoing thing, this lab leak issue. And while it’s increasingly likely that the lab leak theory is the correct one, we still don’t have the smoking gun, as they say. Although, I’d say we do have the smoking gun, and we have the corpse (or millions of corpses), and we have the suspects, the Wuhan Institute of Virology. What we don’t have is the suspects fessing up and saying “yes boss, you got me bang to rights”. 

They’re there holding the smoking gun. In front of the corpses. They just can’t make that final confession. 

And shame on Fauci, Andersen, Collins, and the rest of them, for hiding the truth. For lying, for dissembling, for gaslighting. Shame.
