American scientists inappropriately suppressed the probable origins of the Covid-19 pandemic to save face and protect the Chinese government from scrutiny, according to recently released private messages.
A small group of scientists colluded with U.S. government officials to suppress the hypothesis that Covid-19 originated from a lab leak in China; they knowingly promoted misinformation via a peer-reviewed paper in a major journal. Records of these scientists’ internal communications explicitly show that they believed that the lab-leak hypothesis was plausible, if not likely; but, for what they admit were political reasons, they claimed the opposite in a scientific paper.
