Silence of the labs: How a censorship campaign failed to kill a COVID origin theory
This week, the Wall Street Journal released an alarming report on how the Biden administration may have suppressed dissenting views supporting the lab theory on the origin of the COVID-19 virus. Not only were the FBI and its top experts excluded from a critical briefing of President Biden, but government scientists were reportedly warned that they were “off the reservation” in supporting the lab theory.
The problem was that FBI researchers had concluded that the lab theory was the most credible explanation. But their lead researcher, Dr. Jason Bannan, was kept out of the key meeting, and their opposing research was discounted or ignored.
They were not alone. The Journal reported that Defense Department experts John Hardham, Robert Cutlip and Jean-Paul Chretien conducted a genomic analysis that found evidence of human manipulation of the virus. It also concluded that it was done using a specific technique developed by the Chinese at the Wuhan lab. They suggested that the Chinese appeared to have altered the “spike protein” that enables the virus to enter the human body in a “gain of function” operation.
They were reportedly told to stop sharing their work and warned that they had to effectively get with the team. Later, the three wrote an unclassified May 2020 paper that was prevented from being shown outside the medical intelligence center.
At the same time, letters and articles that dismissed the lab theory were organized for public consumption. The government worked with social media companies to censor those with opposing views.
You're viewing a single thread.
A favorite theory for anyone who totally does not understand the science behind it.
It’s not lab generated because it has no edited rna, you would think that gnome has been torn down and examined by hundreds of specialists labs in every single country.
If there was anything suspicious you would think someone would make a peer reviewed paper in a journal. And if that was censored there would be a freaking riot by scientists speaking dozens of languages in scores of nationalities of a multitude of political beliefs.
But I understand nobody who follows this theory will get any of that. So have fun with it
Fauci started walking back his claims that the lab leak theory was false. Which is suspicious to say the least.

Did he though?
Fauci walked back calling it a conspiracy theory, not his claims that it was false. I think you know that which explains the "started", because you knew you were bullshitting.
Which is suspicious to say the least.
Is it though?
If this wasn't a conspiracy theory before, conspiracy theorists sure turned it into one.
That is a strawman and a lie.
If you say so. It sounded to me like exactly what I said. The concept alone of a lab leak isn't a conspiracy theory, but it's grown from there into what is definitely a conspiracy theory. I hadn't recalled that Fauci actually stated it that clearly, so thanks for the reminder.
