My background is in science, not in this field, but gain of function research as far as I know was always controversial since the possibility of a lab leak was ever present, and the possible consequences could be far reaching and dangerous. Who trusts this administration to investigate this properly, and be honest and above board? I don't. I don't trust the scientific community to be honest about this issue either. When I was seventeen and made up my mind to major in science I read The Cry and the Covenant, the life of Ignaz Semmelweis, an Austrian-Hungarian physician known for his research into puerperal fever. This was before the advent of the germ theory of disease, but due to his work he discovered that physicians delivering babies were the main source of contamination of the disease, and he was absolutely right, but the medical establishment ran him out of Vienna giving no credence to his findings, and ultimately the medial profession destroyed him emotionally and he wound up in a mental hospital where he was killed three weeks after his admission. There will be no resolution in this case either since many who support gain of function will never acknowledge it, or what they caused in doing so, and there would be a lot of possible political repercussions as well.

This is an awesome piece of research and writing -- my hat is off to you!

"The second theory, the more controversial one, is the one I have always been adamant about."

-----

The lab theory was the only one that actually had any evidence in favor........

Seems that all the things that the mad ‘scientists’ have been vehemently denying the last couple years, are now coming to light as truth. Do they think that if they slowly release the truth, that will protect them from prosecution? It’s not like we didn’t know the truth all along, and the only reason they’re not trying to suppress the truth anymore is because it’s become an unstoppable force. The next thing will be gaslighting us by pretending their message hasn’t done a 180° turn.

An observation. It seems the leak from the DOE was intentional, especially because he koolaid drinkers I know were immediately downplaying it as an irrelevant agency, (they ae very good memorizing their talking points!) This makes sense to me because I think they are using the lab leak theory as leverage. The message is, back off of aiding Russia or we take this to the next level, (DoD or CIA). If china steps back they disavow this report as irrelevant from a low level agency without all of the data and the MSM carries their water. If not they ramp up the pressure and Fauci, who is irrelevant now and expendable, goes under the bus.

So the upshot is the truth was never relevant. The lab link was seen to help Trump, and hurt the entrnched interests you describe, so it was bad. But if it can be used as leverage because Ukraine!, it is helpful. We have crossd the Rubicon.

What a terrific job you have done to round up so many aspects of this horrifying narrative. Many thanks.

It's obvious now that the USG along with the WEF/CCP is directly responsible for the death of over 7 million worldwide. This was done using fear and government control to usher in the UN Agenda 2030 protocols of a worldwide single control (UN) governing entity. C19 did not do all they hoped and dreamed it would. It's was a good start--what's up next will be the clincher. Look to Ukraine for the answer.

The weapon China unleashed on the world is lockdown for no scientific reason and the myth of a new pathogen. No samples exist. No studies prove symptoms are caused by this myth, and the tests are fraudulent (no gold standard because no samples). Everything can be explained without a novel virus

Wonderful summary of events. So many things have happened over the last 3 years, it's hard to remember all of them.

My favorite tangent - the mention of the anthrax letters from 2001. Whatever happened to the people that sent them? I guess as Director Wray said in an interview with Bret Baier last night - it's just one more "ongoing investigation" he can't talk about. It's just 22 years later!

Anyone see the original Blade Runner movie?

Remember when Decker takes the snake scale the replicant left behind to the street ripperdoc who reads the corporate trademark on the DNA material?

That's how much of a slam dunk multiple furin cleavage sites are.

There aren't enough moments in the entire universe to make it statistically possible that "surgery scars" in the precise places a molecular biologist would place them could evolve naturally in a virus that mutates so quickly we have to make up stupid names for it.

We are buried in a mountain of lies.

Atrocity demands blood.

Do I have a weird sense of humor, ..... or did anyone else get a good laugh from the single word "Narrative™," ?

That trademark logo had me in stitches !!

Isn't there a third theory? Karen Kingston writes of intentional aerosol release of a bioweapon lipid nano particle creation from hell, that is not even a virus. She has either patents or contracts describing what's been done.

Thanks - great work. I do not have a science background but have always thought that the rapid mutation, after being exposed to humans was an indicator of lab development. We have had pandemics before but they tend to burn out. This has not. It has rapidly evolved into new strains, just like the common cold. Dos this happen often? This fast? Maybe someone more knowledgeable than I can address?

Great piece.

re: "Baric and Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the two top experts on the genetic interplay between bat and human coronaviruses, began collaborating in 2015":

Just for fun, see the listed authors and publication date for this paper:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/7570445_Bats_Are_Natural_Reservoirs_of_SARS-Like_Coronaviruses

I've actually heard it said that their first collaboration (around Nipah virus research, allegedly) dates back to 2002, but I'm unable to substantiate that at this time. In any case, it seems likely that they've at very least been acquainted for much longer than is commonly assumed.

Best!

i heard the TWIV interview with Daszak at the time. he would talk about how easy it was to manipulate and create viruses. then the next week, the TWIV guys would insist that SARS COV-2 could not have come from a lab because "humans aren't smart enough to make such a thing" which seemed to contradict what Daszak was saying.

i pretty much stop listening to them, mainly because i didn't like being insulted as in "anyone who won't take the vaccine is a redneck, trump supporting, racist, high school drop out peddling russian disinformation" and i am none of those things (well, except for not taking the vaccine. they got that part right).

but i did listen to their most recent podcast which was about convalescent plasma which, now that the vaccine is safely EUAed, i guess it's safe to admit that it really does work. (can ivermectin be far behind?)

after the guest left and the regular hosts resumed their general sanctimonious banter, they got around to the lab leak hypothesis which is now endorsed by more government entities.

"how dare they?" "they aren't scientists" "there has never been any evidence that it came from a lab" etc. they still insist that "thousands" of children have died of covid, that "there hasn't been a single death from the vaccines" which are "miracles" although lately they are a bit dismissive of endless boosters.

they want politics entirely out of money and yet expect their funding demands to be met by the taxpayers without question since only they, the high priests of virology have the sacred knowledge.

they insist that GOF is of the utmost importance with it's potential to crank out vaccines for diseases (that wouldn't have ever existed but for GOF research) and force them on the public so that we may all enjoy a "guarantee" of perfect health.

let's face it, without GOF, virology would be the boring unsexy, not very lucrative historical study of viruses we already know and love. how much more thrilling to invent your own and then rush in at the 11th hour with the magic elixir to save the world and pick up a nobel prize or two.
