Did Covid come from a Wuhan lab? What we know so far

The Guardian Original article ›

How lifting of a ban on research manipulation of a virus in 2018 by NIH (US) and HHS is related to the transmissibility of coronavirus and the pandemic

06/04/2021

Research on increasing the pathogenic power of the virus by engineering part of its genome is seen as a possible cause of the pandemic in these articles in WSJ and other media sources, based on new memos released under the Freedom if Information Act. These memos by virologists to Dr.Fauci at NIH in the US gave their analysis after their first look at the virus genome for coronavirus. The lifting of the ban on such research by US Health ministry and the NIH agency in 2018 led to labs in overseas locations being funded with US funds to conduct such research.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
