The US National Institutes of Health has awarded Peter Daszak, President of EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit long involved in gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, another $650,000 to conduct experiments on coronaviruses in bats and "Assess their ability to infect humans."
The widespread perception of the lab leak theory as a grassroots, populist movement is a vast misconception of the politics surrounding Covid's origin.
Because the lab leak theory has been endorsed by the highest-level members of the western national security community, the truth is that the entire intelligence community has spent billions of dollars and untold amounts of manpower in proving Covid came from the Wuhan lab.
Though most of the public believes that if the CCP had influenced the response to Covid, then intelligence officials would say so, the truth is that high-level national security officials staked far too much of their reputations on the authoritarian response to Covid to let their subordinates investigate CCP influence into that response.
Grassroots research like my own has been fruitful precisely because the subject of CCP influence on the response to Covid is such a taboo subject within the western intelligence community.
Another example of a grassroots movement with regard to the origins of Covid is the subject of early global spread in the months before Wuhan in December 2019.
Because so many high-level western officials staked their reputations on copying China's response to Covid, scientists like Elisabetta Tanzi and her team in Italy face censorship and insults from high-level officials and scientists for even so much as testing for samples of Covid in Europe in fall 2019 and earlier.
