The narrative is crumbling. We can now see who has been pulling the levers behind the curtain, and why. From The Free Press.

Fauci, who was the face of the public health community during the crisis, pushed the idea that the evidence strongly indicated that the virus was just a tragic, natural occurrence. He insisted, repeatedly, that an epidemic that started in Wuhan was unlikely to have been the result of an escape from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

But Fauci had an incentive to arrive at his conclusion about the deadly pandemic that started in Wuhan. The WIV was known for doing high-risk virology research studying and manipulating coronaviruses. Fauci, as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for almost 40 years, had funded such research at the WIV.

Fauci’s posture—dismissive toward the theory of the lab leak, and later, condescending toward those who entertained it—set what became the accepted narrative about the origins of the pandemic. It was a narrative that was parroted by the government, public health officials, and the media, and even enforced by social media platforms at the request of the Biden White House.

But last month, a trove of explosive emails and other documents were released by the U.S. House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. These revealed evidence of Fauci’s and other officials’ behind-the-scenes involvement with scientists and journalists, demonstrating their efforts to quash the lab leak theory.

You would think that these new revelations would lead our leading “news” organizations to scream for Fauci’s head. You would think they would engage in concerted intense efforts to substantiate these red-hot leads. Predictably, if you search the archives for NYT, WaPo, CNN, NPR and MSNBC, you will see that all five of these “journalism” organizations have completely ignored these revelations that Anthony Fauci A) repeatedly lied to the American public by funding dangerous gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, B) lied about this after the pandemic resulted from his reckless research, and C) lied to the public by coordinating the writing & publication of the intentional false “Proximal Origin” paper to cover his tracks. Need I add that I have no respect for any of these “news” organizations, not only for their extremely-partisan lack of interest in this story, but also their non-curious angles on dozens of other stories over the past few years.
