The editor of the Lancet medical journal has admitted that Peter Daszak – a leading signatory of a letter published by the journal discrediting man-made origins of COVID-19 – had “significant” conflict of interests and did not declare them at the beginning of the pandemic.
The admission from Dr. Richard Horton came during a grilling from British Members of Parliament on the Science and Technology Select Committee. The stark revelation confirms a lot of early-National Pulse reportage on Daszak, the Wuhan lab, and the interconnected nature of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.
Horton’s public acknowledgment of Daszak’s conflicts of interest discredits the legitimacy of the critical 2020 statement which stifled debate about the true origins of COVID-19 in the mainstream media and scientific community. News outlets and legislators alike relied upon the comments to delegitimize the idea that novel coronavirus emerged from the Anthony Fauci-funded BSL-4 laboratory in Wuhan.
In the declaration, Daszak as well as other “scientists” wrote:
We sign this statement in solidarity with all scientists and health professionals in China who continue to save lives and protect global health during the challenge of the COVID-19 outbreak. We are all in this together, with our Chinese counterparts in the forefront, against this new viral threat.
The rapid, open, and transparent sharing of data on this outbreak is now being threatened by rumours and misinformation around its origins. We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin. Scientists from multiple countries have published and analysed genomes of the causative agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and they overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife, as have so many other emerging pathogens.

I should think what’s regrettable is Lancet’s failure to detect and account for his conflict of interest.
And their continued failure to investigate the origins of SARS-CoV-2.

So far he seems to be staying out of prison.
If it has taken The Lancet this long to figure that out, maybe The Lancet has significant, regrettable conflicts of interest.
My thoughts exactly for some time now...
