Wuhan clan: the price I paid for my lab leak exposé – The Spectator World
On March 12 last year, I texted a trusted source connected to Australia s foreign intelligence agency. What do you think about the theory that the virus came from a virology lab in China? Does that have credibility? I know it s officially a conspiracy theory but China is not exactly a picture of transparency so I thought it s possible.
He replied to say he knew someone very involved in the observation of that lab and its activities and it was a definite possibility the virus leaked from the facility. It was a surprising response because, at the time, this view contradicted every utterance by scientists and world leaders, who insisted the virus had a natural origin. Most media outlets dismissed the lab-leak theory as a conspiracy.
A month after this exchange, I confirmed and reported on a global scoop for my paper in Australia, that the Five Eyes intelligence network of the US, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand were seriously examining the possibility of a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The story went global. For the following year, as I developed new sources around the world and unravelled the complexities of the Chinese Communist party s suppression of the theory, I wrote a book on the topic and my reporting made me a target of the CCP.
My working hypothesis is that the Covid-19 virus did indeed leak from one of the labs in Wuhan. The CCP wants to cover that fact up for obvious reasons, as do the GOF virologists, with Dr. Fauci at their head, here in the US. The details are doubtless complex and will probably never be known in detail. We can also expect the many sources of influence by the CCP in the US to obfuscate a real picture of what is going on. Of course, new evidence could occur, but it will be difficult to tell if it is true, because the CCP has lied about so much already, and are still doing so. And as Rand Paul recently said, quoting some real virologist expert, this gain of function research could literally end civilization. It’s no joke. How about we stop paying for it.
