Scientists believed Covid leaked from Wuhan lab - but feared debate could hurt ‘international harmony’

Leading British and US scientists thought it was likely that Covid accidentally leaked from a laboratory but were concerned that further debate would harm science in China, emails show. An email from Sir Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust, on February 2 2020 said that “a likely explanation” was that Covid had rapidly evolved from a Sars-like virus inside human tissue in a low-security lab. The email, to Dr Anthony Fauci and Dr Francis Collins of the US National Institutes of Health, went on to say that such evolution may have “accidentally created a virus primed for rapid transmission between humans”. But a leading scientist told Sir Jeremy that “further debate would do unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular”. Dr Collins, the former director of the US National Institutes of Health, warned it could damage “international harmony”.

Better to stop the world than to offend a chinaman?

Bottom line, these government idiots and their friends actually truly believe they are superior and know better for Americans and feel lying is perfectly O.K. if THEY think it fits their plan logistics. i.e. Fauci saying you don’t need to wear a mask healthwise so they could save inventory for hospital workers.

Screw the msn, they are part of the lying cabal, perhaps some Republicans should notice and move to have Fauci fired.

Funny we are trying to keep harmony and the other side (China) is trying to destroy us

It looks like some of these scientists in the know about this are going into CYA mode. Are some of these elitists and their scientific cronies starting to get worried?

No way these idiot doctors created a virus like this with NO ANTIDOTE. The antidote is probably Ivermectin and HCQ. THAT is why they do not want us to have it, because it works and their goal is depopulation.

Well the real concern is we funded that darn lab.

So the question would be is America responsible or is Fauci a traitor.

Jim Jordan might be best able to answer that China Fauci connection.

Fauci is claiming deniability on this scam, he says although he was a recipient of the emails, he didn’t take action on them.

Other than taking possession of the lab notes (presumably destroyed) and taking custody of any scientists with knowledge (presumably dead), I seriously doubt that this was in any way, shape, or form a Chinese project.

So...according to these con artists, science is the promotion of "international harmony", not the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.

What other lies have these false scientists told to maintain "international harmony"? How many scientific studies have they corrupted?

These death merchants developed and released the bioweapons and they are still doing it.

Nobody believe a word from government about the plague they created, killing millions.

Wicked, wicked people. Imprison them all.

“Scientists believed Covid leaked from Wuhan lab - but feared debate could hurt ‘international harmony’”

Talk about bullshit. They knew it make Trump look good in calling out the Chicoms for the previous 4 years...and that would help his re-election.

We need to STOP thinking that scientists somehow operate in a political vacuum.

Sort of like if you knew that one of your parents were sexually abusing one of your siblings, and kept quiet because it would look bad for the family. That's how political and dysfunctional “science” is these days.
