ANALYSIS<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Thankfully the pressure continues to build on the establishment media and scientific community for its massive failure and cover-up of the C*VID-19 lab leak origin theory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From day one of the C*VID outbreak in Wuhan, China, I argued that it would be dereliction of duty for any intelligence analyst worth his\/her salt, or any journalist or expert, to ignore the elephant in the room \u2013 that there was a rare Chinese government Level 4 Biosafety Lab (BSL-4) within a few miles of the alleged ground zero for the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compounding this fact with the understanding that China has a robust bioweapons research effort, and shoddy safety protocols at the relatively new lab in Wuhan, it should have been a no-brainer, everyone should have been all over this scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But sure enough, for partisan, ideological, and just plain stupid, reasons the establishment mob quickly dismissed that possibility outright, calling it a conspiracy theory and even worse, racist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of these players wanted to stay on the good side of China, some had vested interests in keeping a lid on it, others instinctively rebuked anything President Trump proposed, and others simply wanted to obsessively focus on how Trump was allegedly failing on COVID rather than on where this deadly virus originated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Big Tech social media platforms openly censored any views, including mine on LinkedIn, that simply reported on and explored the facts and available intelligence on the Wuhan lab and its potential relation to C*VID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time however, this subpar reporting, and the massive effort bordering on a conspiracy to suppress the truth on C*VID\u2019s origins, began to crumble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The June 9 World Health Organization Scientific Advisory Group for the Origins of Novel Pathogens report<\/a>, and various other serious investigations, concluded that deliberate human involvement, or at least human error, may ultimately have been at the root of the pandemic that has killed over 15 million people worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December, reports The Blaze, Republicans on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence also\u00a0concluded in their interim report<\/a>\u00a0that it was “plausible” that Ch*nese military researchers possessed the C*VID-19 virus “as part of bioweapons research” prior to its release into the world as a consequence of a safety incident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the obtuse big media outlets, colluding with Big Tech, and the misguided science experts have begun to retract and recant. Some even quietly admitting they may have been wrong on the lab leak origin theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that isn\u2019t enough. Far from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported<\/a> by The Blaze:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

A group of national security experts published a\u00a0letter<\/a>\u00a0this week denouncing those in the mainstream media who downplayed, ignored, or outright denied the possibility that the C*VID-19 virus originated in a Chinese c*mmunist l*b in Wuhan.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The January 11 letter addressed to the editors of the Lancet, Nature Medicine, the New York Times, and Time magazine, was signed by forty-three national security experts, including House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul (R-Texas), former Defense Intelligence Agency acting Director David Shedd, former national security adviser Robert O’Brien, and numerous former State Department and National Security Council officials. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blaze continues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The letter implicates news outlets like the New York Times and scientific journals such as the Lancet in an apparent campaign to censor or displace dissenting voices around the pandemic’s origins.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only was journalists’ and editors’ failure to entertain the possibility that the W*han Institute of Vir*logy \u2014 controlled by the\u00a0genocidal Chinese regime<\/a>\u00a0and notorious for performing\u00a0gain-of-function experiments<\/a>\u00a0on coronaviruses \u2014 a dereliction of duty, it “served to hamper national and international policy discussions about how to mitigate against future pandemics of any origin \u2014 natural, accidental, or deliberate.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Their letter calls for those who intentionally or not helped absolve the Chinese c*mmunist regime of any guilt in originating and spreading the deadly C*VID virus to be held accountable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authors also called on major news organizations “to carry out deeper investigations into the pandemic’s origins, particularly by examining all credible origins hypotheses.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the minimum they should do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the letter states, American security and prosperity depend upon “rigorous scientific debate, research, and scholarship, as well as an intrepid and independent news media.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And all these media outlets, scientific journals, and individual journalists and experts “failed in their duty.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They should all be called out and shamed publicly, and they should provide the nation, and the world a very public apology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
