New Emails Chronicle Lab-Leak Coverup in Real Time

 There has been renewed interest in the origins of Covid and the lab-leak theory this week following the release of further emails between senior US Government health official Dr. Anthony Fauci and others as they conspired in early February 2020 to counter the theory and suppress it.

  • The emails confirm that those involved were not aware prior to late January that the virus was likely to be of lab origin
  • Among other things, they confirm that the author(s) did not receive cover-up instructions from the FBI or MI5

Where did the idea come from?

  • The aim of the discussion was to challenge a "certain theory"
  • This is understood by the others to be the linking of the virus to HIV as found in a January 2020 pre-print
  • Drosten's questions are quickly answered by other group members

This has nothing whatsoever to do with HIV nonsense.

  • Ever since this outbreak started there have been suggestions that the virus escaped from the Wuhan lab, if only because of the coincidence of where the outbreak occurred and the location of the lab.
  • A lot of people there believe this and believe they are being lied to

Farrar explains further:

  • The aim was to bring a neutral, respected, scientific group together to look at the data and provide an opinion
  • Focus the discussion on the science, not on any conspiracy other theory and to lay down a respected statement to frame whatever debate goes on

Kristian Andersen does acknowledge that they have been "trying to disprove any type of lab theory"

  • They are at a crossroad where the scientific evidence isn't conclusive enough to say that we have high confidence in any of the three main theories considered

Until the pangolin sequences showed up, the consensus in the emails was settling on the proposal that while the virus didn't appear deliberately engineered it could have resulted from "repeated tissue culture passage" in a lab.

  • While Francis Collins argues this "doesn't explain the O-linked glycans" which typically emerge in the presence of an immune system, Holmes said, it was possible for "accidental lab passage in animals to give glycans."
  • The glycan point is important and could be given further weight against a passage origin.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

Republicans Withdraw $1 Billion From BlackRock Due To Its ESG Policies

  Multiple U.S. states governed by Republicans are withdrawing state funds from BlackRock's management, as they disapprove of the ESG investment policies of the world's top asset manager, the Financial Times reports. In recent weeks, Louisiana, South Carolina, Utah, and Arkansas have announced they would divest funds from... For months now, Republican states have said they would not do business anymore with asset managers who have ESG-aligned investment policies, which, the states say, show that those financial firms are boycotting the oil and gas industry. Texas is leading the campaign against this movement The Lone Star State published a list of financial firms that could be banned from doing business with Texas, its state pension funds, and local governments. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Republicans-Withdraw-1-Billion-From-BlackRock-Due-To-Its-ESG-Policies.html

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
