Scientists Behind Article Attacking Skeptics of COVID ‘Natural Origin’ Theory Worked in Wuhan Lab

The perpetrators, so called Scientists, behind the promotion of the COVID-19 bioweapon program fabricated a published articles in THE LANCET as to whether or not nCoV was of “Natural Origin” or a BIOWEAPON produced in a laboratory.

Emails obtained via FOIA show employees of U.S. taxpayer-funded EcoHealth Alliance orchestrated the statement, published in The Lancet, condemning “conspiracy theories.”

Emails obtained via FOIA show employees of U.S. taxpayer-funded EcoHealth Alliance orchestrated the statement, published in The Lancet, condemning “conspiracy theories.”

Emails obtained by U.S. Right to Know show that a statement in The Lancet authored by 27 prominent public health scientists condemning “conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin” was organized by employees of EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit group that has received millions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer funding to genetically manipulate coronaviruses with scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The emails obtained via public records requests show that EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak drafted the Lancet statement, and that he intended it to “not be identifiable as coming from any one organization or person” but rather to be seen as “simply a letter from leading scientists.” Daszak wrote that he wanted “to avoid the appearance of a political statement.”

The scientists’ letter appeared in The Lancet on Feb. 18, just one week after the World Health Organization announced that the disease caused by the novel coronavirus would be named COVID-19.

The 27 authors “strongly condemn[ed] conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin,” and reported that scientists from multiple countries “overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife.”

The letter included no scientific references to refute a lab-origin theory of the virus. One scientist, Linda Saif, asked via email whether it would be useful “to add just one or 2 statements in support of why nCOV is not a lab generated virus and is naturally occuring? Seems critical to scientifically refute such claims!” Daszak responded, “I think we should probably stick to a broad statement.”

Peter Daszak, Rita Colwell and The Lancet Editor Richard Horton did not provide comments in response to our requests for this story.
