The Truth About COVID-19's Origins Confirmed

Even official government agencies, corporate media, and the science establishment are being forced to confront that it was a lab leak. Here's a look at the implications of that, and the path forward.

This past week, it’s been all but confirmed that the most obvious explanation is the correct one. Multiple government agencies, from the Department of Energy to the FBI, are saying that the COVID-19 virus came from a lab—specifically the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

The whole premise should never have been controversial. The Wuhan lab is famous for its study of coronaviruses. The notion that a virus would have come from there was always a more logical conclusion than the idea that a bat came from a cave and spread the virus throughout the world. Or that it came out of a wet market in a Chinese village. Yet, it was the latter two options that were presented as what “the experts” believed.

Moreover, we were not only expected to believe the experts, but we were also told we were conspiracy theorists for believing otherwise.

Of course, not everyone in leadership in the early part of 2020 fell for the dumb idea that the Science Establishment would coalesce behind. A certain orange-haired man said in April 2020 that he had seen credible evidence indicating that the lab leak was a very real possibility. This link from back then has not only the video of those prophetic statements, but also how much ridicule the corporate media was heaping on the notion of a lab leak. Dismissing everything that came from an orange-colored source, even one in the Oval Office, was how the government and the scientific community chose to operate.

So, the next question is this. Does anyone have to come forward and at least say they’re sorry? People were ridiculed and careers were ruined. More important, human beings are dead because the correct source of the virus couldn’t be discussed.

Had the White House been given accurate information about the virus’ origins, that would have impacted how treatment plans went forward. It would have allowed the development of a vaccine that might actually work.

As it is, we have people needlessly dead from the virus, unnecessarily dead or cardio-damaged from the vaccine, and their lives altered because of the draconian lockdowns. Much of what was done to society in 2020 was because we believed we didn’t know exactly what we were dealing with. But, in turns out, that we did. At least certain people did. And they lied about it.

Megyn Kelly had a good discussion this week about the lab leak, the confirmation of it, and all the damage that was caused. And she asked a pertinent question—does the truth even matter? Or are we still dealing with a complete inability to ever admit something Donald J. Trump said might have been right? Are people really willing to defend a lie that killed so many people simply because that lie was intended to paint Trump in a bad light?

There was a time—as recently as a couple years ago—that I believed if you just got the truth, based on actual investigation, into people’s hands, they would believe it. Whether it was the continually mounting evidence of dirty elections, to Big Pharma’s malfeasance, to the origins of the coronavirus, I assumed that a desire to know the truth would outweigh people’s dislike for any particular candidate.

I’m not so confident of that anymore. The willingness of people to dig in and refuse to consider anything outside their basic frame of reference, or that contradicts what they initially believed about a subject, has been something to behold. And not in a good way.

But maybe people can find some inspiration from Kelly. After all, of all the people who might want to complain about Trump, she’s the one person in the world who might actually have a legitimate beef. She was run out of Fox News after the 2016 election because she crossed Trump in a debate. She asked him a perfectly reasonable question, and he got upset. To be honest, I’m not sure why, because he actually handled the question well—hilariously well. But when Fox News decided to ride the Trump Train, up until Election Night 2020, Kelly had to go, and her career has never really been the same. So, if she has the integrity to still call it as she sees it—that Trump was right—maybe other people can too.

Anyway, maybe we now we can get on with the business of unraveling all the damage that was done. That starts by a real understanding of exactly what happened at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, including whether it was an accident or intentional.

To that end, I would recommend an excellent, well-researched and well-sourced book called What Really Happened in Wuhan. Reporter Sharri Markkson takes us from Washington D.C. to Beijing to Wuhan, in her search for the truth. The most disturbing thing about Markkson’s reporting is how thoroughly scientific journals—the most prestigious in the world—were in the tank for whatever the party line of the Chinese regime was. They led the censorship, and should not be allowed to just forget it and move on. Too many people suffered. Too many people are dead.

A real, authentic step forward comes with growing in more knowledge of what happened and where we can go from here. Here’s a list of several other books. As a disclaimer, I have not read all of them, but they’re all on my shelf, and are on the spring/summer reading list. The books are separated by the topics…

The Workings of Washington: Dr. Paul Alexander was brought to the nation’s capital to advise the president. Instead, he was appalled at how little actual science was involved in the government response, and how much the permanent bureaucracy was more focused on stopping President Trump. Dr. Alexander chronicles all of this in Presidential Takedown. And speaking of the permanent bureaucracy, Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wrote a devastating portrait of the lead instigator of this trouble in The Real Anthony Fauci. Being a reader who operates outside of academia, RFK Jr.’s book was one of the most diligently researched and footnoted books I have ever seen.

The Evils of Big Pharma: Perhaps no one has been more courageous in challenging the pharmaceutical giants than Dr. Naomi Wolf. She was one of the first to warn that the vaccine would cause problems for fertility in young women, and now even the industry itself is being forced to acknowledge there’s something to that. Dr. Wolf is the author of The Bodies of Others. And she assembled a team of volunteers that have gone through the 55,000 documents Pfizer was forced by court order to release, showing the results of their clinical trials. The initial fruits of that research—something no major news organization chose to undertake—are published as an e-book in their Documents Analysis.

A Message of Hope: There’s a lot of pain left behind because of all this, but hope also comes through. From the perspective of faith, the book Contagious Faith by Phil Lawler is a good review of where the Church misstepped in giving in to fear at a time when people needed hope. And from the political perspective, who better to turn to on a question of recovering medical tyranny than Florida governor Ron DeSantis. The governor just released a book The Courage To Be Free—Florida’s Blueprint for America.

As an aside, anything with DeSantis right now is shrouded in the possibility of him challenging Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination. I’m not committed either way in that. I simply look forward to reading the book and consider it a part of getting a full understanding of where we’ve been and where we’re going.
