Very well researched and in depth article on the new hype re: origins of COVID. In contrast to the other article I just shared; this also goes into a lot of politics within the US and elsewhere regarding the investigation, while also detailing the history and science.

“China obviously bears responsibility for stonewalling investigators. Whether it did so out of sheer authoritarian habit or because it had a lab leak to hide is, and may always be, unknown.

The United States deserves a healthy share of blame as well. Thanks to their unprecedented track record of mendacity and race-baiting, Trump and his allies had less than zero credibility. And the practice of funding risky research via cutouts like EcoHealth Alliance enmeshed leading virologists in conflicts of interest at the exact moment their expertise was most desperately needed.”
