Sky News is doing the work that our own MSM refuses to do.

Ever since it emerged, the origins of COVID should have been one of the top two or three stories in the world. After all, the disease itself was ravaging the world, the responses to the virus were doing even more damage, and the people in charge of responding to the virus were, at the very least, suspects in the case.

Yet even discussion of the possibility of a lab leak was suppressed, and anybody who brought up the possibility was labeled a conspiracy theorist. Social media sites banned people from discussing the matter, and reporters pretended that the issue was settled because Saint Fauci said so.

Those of us who argued–based on voluminous if not conclusive evidence–that the virus likely leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were labeled cranks. We were scoffed at, ridiculed, and deplatformed. It didn’t matter if you were a Harvard epidemiologist or an average Joe on a barstool; you were persona non grata in polite society.

There are cracks in the stone wall developing. Yesterday I wrote about the British senior minister who dropped the word that the government thought the “novel virus” was likely man-made–he used this as an excuse for the horrible response in Britain–and now Sky News has snagged an interview with Fauci’s boss during the pandemic.

Dr. Kadlec, The former Assist. Sec. for Preparedness and Response at HHS says Dr Fauci, Dr. Collins and himself decided to divert attention away from the lab leak theory because they were afraid of what would be revealed, as well as their guilt and the public response.

In the interview, he describes how he, Fauci, and Dr. Collins decided to suppress the lab leak theory because it would reflect badly on the US government. After all, Fauci had poured millions into gain of function research in Wuhan, and it seemed possible to likely that US funds had helped create the virus.

That’s a bad look. For Fauci, Collins, and the US government as a whole. Best to suppress the idea.

A whistleblower has come forward to claim CIA analysts who favoured the COVID-19 lab leak theory were bribed to change their position.https://t.co/A7QND5tSAZ

As I and others reported earlier, Fauci paid off scientists outside the NIH to debunk the lab leak theory and the CIA bribed their own analysts with large bonuses for downplaying the possibility of a lab leak. None of this is new information; what is new is that one of the people who was involved in the decision making is admitting it now that the pandemic is largely in the rear-view mirror.

Even the fact that government officials lied and admitted it is not new; Deborah Birx wrote a book about her experiences during the height of COVID and was very proud that she and others lied to Trump about how long they intended to shut down the country. The whole “14 Days to Stop the Spread” was never their goal–they just needed Trump to buy the first tranche so that he would be prepared to buy the second.

In for a penny, in for a pound.

Still, the American media has been resolute in suppressing the story. They bought into it early on–probably knowing that it was sketchy–and they would rather it go away until they can write tell-all books a few years from now.

The “now it can be told” genre sells, after all. But until we are firmly in a post-Trump era, it is unlikely that anybody here, outside the alternative media, will touch this. I hope I am wrong–after all, the scandal would make for juicy copy.

But for now, it will only be alternative media that keep plugging away.
