“We do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.” That’s the key sentence in an article published in Nature Medicine on March 17, 2020, titled “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2.”
It’s also a prime example of eminently credentialed and government-subsidized scientists saying the exact opposite of what they believed, in an attempt — successful at the time, but now, three years later, exposed — to deceive the public.
The article appeared, as the date indicates, just as the spread of COVID was becoming apparent. It also appeared after Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said in January 2020 that the virus could have leaked from “China’s only biosafety level-four super laboratory that works with the world’s most deadly pathogens” in Wuhan.
Cotton was careful to say that a lab leak was not proven and that the virus could also have been transmitted through an animal, and he dismissed the possibility of an intentional leak.
A lab leak origin was quickly dismissed as a “fringe theory” by the Washington Post and a “conspiracy theory” by the New York Times. Those characterizations were attributed to government and government-financed scientists — the same bunch who would shortly produce the “Proximal Origin” paper.
The pushback against the lab leak theory has now been revealed as a fraud, thanks to the work of journalist Matt Taibbi, academic Roger Pielke Jr., and the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.
The real conspiracy had roots in a February 2020 conference call led by Dr. Anthony Fauci.....MORE AT The proximal origin of a scientific fraud | Washington Examiner
