Scientific Responsibility in Research on Dangerous Pathogens — Part 2: COVID-19 and What Came Next
R
37:52Richard H. EbrightGUEST
So the two individuals in lower right, the first of them is Robert Gary, who is a virologist at Tulane.
R
37:59Richard H. EbrightGUEST
The second is Christian Anderson, who is a computational virologist from Scripps.
R
38:06Richard H. EbrightGUEST
Those two individuals and two of their colleagues, one, Andrew Rambeau, who is from Edinburgh, and the other, Eddie Holmes, who is from Australia, they began to look at the sequence of SARS-CoV-2 after it was first published on January 20th of 2020. and they immediately became concerned that there were aspects of the sequence that strongly suggested it had been genetically engineered and thus that the virus had a lab origin, and not only a lab origin, but a lab origin involving deliberate genetic enhancement using recombinant DNA techniques.
R
38:45Richard H. EbrightGUEST
They, in the third week of January 2020, they contacted their funding agency heads.
R
42:11Richard H. EbrightGUEST
The big ask was that the funding agency heads instructed these people who had approached them with their concerns about lab origin that not only could they not discuss a lab origin, but they should publish a, quote, scientific paper, something posing as a scientific paper, saying that science rules out the possibility of a laboratory origin.
R
42:36Richard H. EbrightGUEST
They discussed this big ask the next day in their correspondence.
R
42:41Richard H. EbrightGUEST
This individual, the individual, the second individual, Christian Anderson said, how can we comply with this big ask? It is, and here I'm directly quoting, it is so frigging likely that this has a lab origin because we know the sequence and we know the research that was being performed in the Wuhan lab, which matches the features we see in the sequence.
R
43:02Richard H. EbrightGUEST
But they reached a conclusion they would comply.
The Daily Herold: 8/31/26 - Pentagon's Secret Paid Influencers and the Fauci Email Deletion Memos
J
27:25Jon HeroldHOST
Fauci's contacts with the intelligence community included efforts to steer the CIA and the DNI, or their office anyway, towards scientists who were advocating that COVID-19 emerged naturally, even as the FBI developed evidence that the deadly virus was man-made and may have leaked from a Chinese lab where research was funded by Fauci's agencies, the memos show.
J
27:44Jon HeroldHOST
For instance, a CIA memorandum stated that Fauci urged the agency to contact Robert Garry, Kristian Andersen, and Eddie Holmes, all three of whom have advocated for features of the virus that they judge to be consistent with natural origin, according to summary of the memos.
J
27:58Jon HeroldHOST
Likewise, in a July 12th of 2021 email from ODNI, states that Fauci had emphasized a scientific article and identified the authors whose views he thought were particularly important.
J
28:08Jon HeroldHOST
Articles written by Andersen, Holmes, and Rambaut, scientists who advocated the natural origins theory." This guy's in big trouble if anybody actually wants to pursue that.
Communism rising
B
6:58Bruce RobertsonHOST
The Biden administration, And intelligence agencies pressured social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook to censor any lab leak discussions and labeled them as misinformation.
B
7:14Bruce RobertsonHOST
Christian Anderson, Robert Gary, and other scientists knew the truth, but they didn't tell the truth.
B
7:22Bruce RobertsonHOST
They covered it up.
B
7:24Bruce RobertsonHOST
Behind closed doors, they admitted a lab escape was likely.
B
7:29Bruce RobertsonHOST
In public, they dismissed it as a conspiracy theory.
B
7:35Bruce RobertsonHOST
World Health Organization's Jeremy Farrar got a burner phone to secretly coordinate meetings with Fauci, Collins, and other top scientists, ensuring that their discussions stayed off the record.
B
7:50Bruce RobertsonHOST
Christian Anderson, Robert Gary, and Eddie Holmes strategized how to mislead the New York Times reporter Donald McNeil Jr., making sure that he didn't dig too deep into the lab leak theory.
B
8:06Bruce RobertsonHOST
The infamous Proximal Origin paper, which was authored by Anderson, Gary, Holmes, Andrew Rambeau, and W. Ian Lipkin, was a coordinated effort to mislead the public.
