The quest for truth-in-COVID did pick up some steam in late spring 2021.
Not about the vaccine, though.
About the origins of the virus.
From the first days of the epidemic, strong circumstantial evidence suggested Sars-CoV-2 had leaked from a Chinese lab. Both the virus itself and the facts around its emergence pointed to human intervention.
Wuhan, the city of 10 million people where the first cases were found, is home to China’s most important viral research laboratory, the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The institute aggressively researched bat coronaviruses, which China had viewed as a serious risk since the original SARS outbreak in 2003.
In 2017 the institute opened China’s first Biosafety Level 4 laboratory. Level 4 labs are the most secure available, designed to handle deadly pathogens such as Ebola. But just months after the lab opened, U.S. State Department officials visited and reported in a cable to Washington that the new facility was at risk of a serious accident. They found “a serious shortage of appropriately trained technicians and investigators needed to safely operate this high-containment laboratory.”

Early on, Chinese and international reports had offered a different potential explanation for the fact Sars-CoV-2 had emerged first in Wuhan. They linked the outbreak to a large “wet market” there. Wet markets, which are common in China, sell wild and domesticated live animals for slaughter. An NPR reporter visited a similar market in Hong Kong and reported that “it’s quite obvious why the term ‘wet’ is used. . . . The countertops of the stalls are red with blood as fish are gutted and filleted.”
But the theory was discounted within months, because Chinese researchers could not find Sars-CoV-2 in tissue samples of animals taken from the Wuhan wet market.

Alex Berenson has done great reporting on this. The lies were layered upon other lies.
After listening to Alex Berenson’s BS attack on Dr. Malone, I see no reason to post Alex’s BS on FR.
In case FReepers missed Berenson’s attack-—

Dr. Robert Malone | Bushwhacked by Alex Berenson on Fox News…
When you put it all together like that...truly shocking.
‘1984’
After listening to Alex Berenson’s BS attack on Dr. Malone, I see no reason to post Alex’s BS on FR.
******************************
I agree. I just saw that interview a little while ago and maybe he was just having a bad day but none the less I just say he’s not to be trusted anymore and play it safe.
I liked Berenson, but he lost my confidence in his attack on Dr. Malone.
I did not see the rally last night. Did Trump say anything at all about the vaccinations leading to the possibility that he might somehow admit that they’re not all they’re cracked up to be.?
This article is just reiterating what others have already discovered. RFK Jr and Project Veritas among others.
Big jaundiced eye toward this guy since he slammed Dr. Malone the other day.
Jury’s out.
I did not see/hear what he said about Dr. Malone.
Most of us here on FR were skeptical since day one.
Berenson is a liberal. Former reporter for the NY Times. Like everyone, he has biases and preconceived notions. He acknowledges this. The difference though, between him and other leftist scum is that he reports what he sees. He tries to be honest.
He doesn’t believe the election was stolen. Well, to come to a 100% certainty that the election was stolen, you gotta dig through a lotta data. Not his hobbyhorse. So, he doesn’t do the work. So, he falls back on his preconceived notions.
We all do this.
But where he does the work, he reports honestly.
Not everyone who is not our 100% enemy is our friend. But that doesn’t mean we can’t recognize when they endeavor to find the real facts and report them honestly.
He is worth a read, keeping in mind he is on the left.
I appreciate that reply.
Question Authority
Agree.
Who got to Alex?
It was a self damning attack, that makes me question his motives. As much as Alex claims to not be in favor of censorship and “banning” he has to realize that he gave additional weight to the censorship brigade by parroting their talking points.
