When
the coronavirus was ravaging America and the world last year, a debate erupted
over its origin. One view was that someone in China ate an infected bat and
caught the disease. A year and a half later, 600,000 Americans and 3.5
million people around the world were dead.
The Trump Administration raised a more likely possibility -- that COVID leaked from a bio-research lab known to be experimenting with these types of viruses in Wuhan, China, the same city where COVID-19 first appeared.
The
Chinese Communist Party furiously rejected that idea. The media, Dr. Anthony
Fauci and liberal politicians immediately sided with the Chinese Communist
Party. They mocked Trump and anyone else who dared to question communist China.
When Trump referred to the disease as the "China virus," they accused
him of racism.
As
time passed, evidence for COVID's natural occurrence remained elusive. And
numerous scientists and officials have continued to insist that the
preponderance of evidence points to the Wuhan lab.
These
aren't kooks and crackpots. I'm referring to statements from former Secretary
of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo, former CDC Director Robert Redfield,
former FDA Administrator Scott Gottlieb, former HHS Assistant Secretary Admiral
Brett Giroir and former Director National Intelligence John Ratcliffe.
This
week, the Wall Street Journal broke the news that three workers at the Wuhan
lab were hospitalized in November 2019 with all the symptoms of the
coronavirus.
Even
Dr. Fauci is changing his tune. Now he says he's not totally convinced that
COVID developed naturally, adding, "We should continue to investigate what
went on in China." And Politifact has retracted its "fact
check" supposedly debunking the lab leak theory.
Once
again, it appears that Trump was right. This episode is another sad example of
the fake news media's failure to do its job of objective journalism. Our media
spent four years reflexively opposing anything Donald Trump said and did. They
attacked Donald Trump and gave communist China the benefit of the doubt!
In this case, the implications couldn't be greater. Communist China is not a normal country. It is engaged in genocide. It always lies. Our media repeated China's lies, and 600,000 Americans died. We must have a full American-led investigation into COVID's origins to discover the truth.
But
we won't get that from the Biden Administration, which continues to insist that
the World Health Organization (WHO) lead any investigation.
That's right – the same WHO that is hopelessly compromised by communist China.
