Evidence continues to point to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) as the origin of SARS-CoV-2. Meanwhile, based on the now publicized emails sent to and from Dr. Fauci, it has become evident that there was a strong push to downplay this theory and convince the world the virus evolved naturally.
The story grew thicker on Thursday.
According to a report from Vanity Fair, last March, leading scientists aggressively tried to silence former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield after stating his belief on CNN that the virus originated from a lab in Wuhan. Following his public comments, Redfield told the outlet that fellow scientists sent him death threats.
“I was threatened and ostracized because I proposed another hypothesis,” Redfield told Vanity Fair. “I expected it from politicians. I didn’t expect it from science.”
Redfield adds the messages came from prominent scientists, some of whom used to be his friends.
Here were Redfield’s comments to CNN’s Sanjay Gupta on March 26, 2020:
“I’m of the point of view that I still think the most likely etiology of this pathology in Wuhan was from a laboratory — escaped. Other people don’t believe that. That’s fine. Science will eventually figure it out.
“It’s not unusual for respiratory pathogens that are being worked on in a laboratory to infect the laboratory worker. That’s not implying any intentionality.”
“It’s my opinion, right? But I am a virologist. I have spent my life in virology.”
That, of course, wasn’t allowed. Not by some random Twitter user with four followers, and certainly not from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director.
Two points should not have to be made, but must:
First, once a death threat is sent — for any reason — the story is taken to another level, and each individual who issued the threat should be punished.
Second, the fact that only one point of view on the virus’ origin was accepted last year should be a warning about the country’s direction. This was not a one-off. Forget free speech, free thought is now up for debate.
What makes this matter all the more troubling is that the scientists, the so-called experts, the politicians, and the journalists who belittled those who questioned COVID’s origin appear to have participated in a world-changing cover-up.
Right now, all signs point to the virus leaking from the WIV.
Thursday, a week after a report revealed that three researchers from the WIV were hospitalized in November 2019 with symptoms mirroring COVID-19, former White House coronavirus testing czar Admiral Brett Giroir says it’s likely SARS-CoV-2 was part of an offensive bioweapons program and leaked out accidentally.
Giroir says there are no patterns of mutations that suggest the virus naturally went from an animal to a human, which experts and leaders promulgated.
Go back in time to one year ago. Remember to whom we were told to listen. Did their responses, dismissals, demands, and actions slow the virus’ spread? Or did they help China potentially cover up one of the biggest stories in world history?
We weren’t allowed to ask questions a year ago. Now, those who were silenced need to speak up. They must demand answers from those who silenced them.
It was on purpose. It was not a leak.

China had a dangerous spreading problem. It was no longer able to do a Tiananmen square solution. In 1989 the world had no leverage. But today the world could hurt them bad by killing their economy.
They had a solution; releasing the virus. Coronavirus was very spreadable, but not all that deadly. But it gave them the solution to the riots. It allowed them to utterly lock people down hard. And they did. They killed the protests.
And then add in getting rid of Trump, and ending sanctions and tariffs.
They claim 5000 dead. To achieve what they did? That is nothing to a government that has murdered 65 million.
They happily launched it on their own people.
btt
They are going to regret that they let him live, IMO.
Which fellow “scientists” made the threat, then?
He needs to name them and publish the emails or other communication.
Real scientists (no matter how leftist) don’t make death threats—especially over something as important as the origin of the covid virus.
(Communist Chinese scientists might be an exception.)
Show us the evidence!!!!
Oooooo...Scientists sending death threats. I’m so scared!
Yeah, he was from a bad neighborhood. There were drive-by electron microscope shots.
Bkmrk
What scientists? Name them. Were they scientists or really bureaucrats?
Were the death threats anonymous?
Were criminal investigations opened?
Fauci probably has a medical mafia!
Sounds like a nightmare version of some Far Side cartoons I’ve seen.
hey tony, the pandemic is winding down. You are no longer useful. You are about to find out what the underside of a bus looks like.
Your only remaining usefulness is to divert attention from election fraud.
Absolutely.
