Recent discussions have intensified around the origins of COVID-19, with some experts suggesting the possibility of an accidental virus escape from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). It is essentially certain, according to these experts, that US officials and certain virologists attempted to deny the lab-leak scenario, particularly any involvement of US science. Concurrently, House Republicans are investigating multiple fronts related to COVID-19 and Hunter Biden. They are probing the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for potential retaliation against whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who disclosed irregularities in Hunter Biden's tax investigations. Additionally, they are examining NIH-funded research in China for national security and bioethics violations. The GOP's efforts also extend to questioning whether the U.S. government influenced the scientific review process in leading journals such as @TheLancet, @ScienceMagazine, & @Nature to push a preferred narrative on COVID origins, with answers expected on April 16. The investigations are part of a broader scrutiny into the handling of the pandemic and alleged political bias in scientific discourse and federal agencies.

“Scientists and journalists have gone out of their way to shut down the lab-leak debate. The New York Times, the BBC, the WHO and scientific publications have refused to give the theory a fair hearing.” Matt Ridley on the suppression of scientific debate: https://t.co/7h51PQMTTC
Nice summary of a recent COVID lab-leak debate here [https://t.co/wOWanu1FzK]. The whole premise of Bayesian quantification for conspiracies comes out looking pretty flawed. There are some parallels here to the JFK assassination and the recent xz Utils backdoor ...
"It is very probable that COVID-19 originated in an accidental virus escape from WIV" "It is essentially certain that attempts were made by US officials and some virologists to deny the possibility of a lab-leak, and especially the likelihood that US science is implicated" https://t.co/6EaatAZDFR https://t.co/bPbX5nIa1s
