Coronavirus About 5 years ago I wrote that the pandemic was China’s Chernobyl, one of the worst industrial disasters ever.
But virtue-signalling even into death and tyranny is the modern impulse. For some reason officials wanted us to believe the virus came from a market, even though there was a coronavirus research lab just down the street. I recall they blamed the innocent pangolin. For some reason many of us believed it.
Remember that those institutions who cry most about misinformation are greatest historical purveyors of it. Here’s another example we can add to the list. The German, British, American, and the Chinese governments knew about the origin of the virus but spread misinformation instead.
A classified dossier compiled by Sir Richard Dearlove, the former head of MI6, was passed to then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson at the start of the outbreak in March 2020 which stated: 'It is now beyond reasonable doubt that Covid-19 was engineered in the Wuhan Institute of Virology'.
The file, marked 'Secret – Recipient's Eyes Only' argued that Beijing was pushing a fake narrative that the virus had originated in an animal market. The dossier, compiled by a group of eminent academics and intelligence experts and seen by The Mail on Sunday, said China even retrospectively manipulated viral samples to give credence to the deception.”

Now we know for certain that influential scientific journals, the “experts” and authorities whom we are taught to listen to, privately believed the lab-leak theory but publicly refuted it.
