The Most Strident Denier of Lab Origin of Sars-CoV-2 Privately Believed the Coronavirus was Lab Engineered
They are asking us to "trust the science"
As soon as a mysterious pandemic of the novel coronavirus started in 2020, we were told to “trust the science.” Carefully selected representatives of “science” were given prominent platforms, while any dissent was censored.
The scientific establishment insisted, with the appearance of absolute certainty, that Sars-Cov-2 came from nature. Their most important act was publishing the “Proximal Origins” paper in Nature Medicine, written by prominent virologists, that denied any possibility that Sars-Cov-2 was lab-designed.
A recent Substack post sheds light on what went behind the scenes when the above correspondence was written and published. It is long and detailed but contains amazing tidbits.
The authors acquired emails and chats from an invitation-only Slack channel. It turns out that Kristian Andersen, the main author of the Nature Medicine article denying the lab origin of Covid-19, privately believed that Sars-CoV-2 was lab engineered.
Kristian Andersen wrote on Feb 1, 2020:
“I think the main thing still in my mind is that the lab escape version of this is so friggin’ likely to have happened because they were already doing this type of work and the molecular data is fully consistent with that scenario.”
A few weeks before the publication, Andersen explained that Sars-Cov-2 is what the Wuhan lab was working on!
Kristian’s Nature Medicine article stated:
“The presence in pangolins of an RBD [receptor binding domain] very similar to that of SARS-CoV-2 means that we can infer this was also probably in the virus that jumped to humans” [emphasis added].
Two days after its publication, privately, Andersen exposed believing the opposite:
Clearly none of these pangolin sequences was the source though.” And then once again, on February 20, Andersen emphasized. “Unfortunately the pangolins don’t help clarify the story.”
Kristian Andersen misstated his scientific convictions to gain favors from the “higher ups”:
So, the so-called “science” that we were demanded to trust was done by people who privately held beliefs opposite to what they professed publicly. Even the biggest proponent of the natural origin of Sars-Cov-2 believed that it came from a lab.
Kristian Andersen was Richly Rewarded
Our reader Cozy Cat brought up a nice article about Bill Gates giving Andersen’s Scripps research hefty sums of money.
Sars-Cov-2 was NOT an Accident

To Prevent the Next Pandemic, Punish Those Who Started This Pandemic
This post is my attempt to add clarity to some questions surrounding Covid-19. While I hope you will agree with some points I make, I expect many of you will disagree with some of my thoughts. That’s fine! Feel free to share your opinions in the comments.
Other Branches of “Captured Science”?
The virologists in question clearly show that they represent “captured science,” where scientists lie and publish materials contrary to their beliefs to appease their political masters.
Are there other branches of “science” where you, my reader, feel that the writers and publishers may be dishonest?
Igor, great stuff as ever. If you fancy some digging, have a look at Kristian Andersen and Robert Garry in relation to the Ebola outbreak in 2014. They are enterovirus specialists, specifically Ebola and were involved with the lab at the epicentre in West Africa that was ‘coincidentally’ researching Ebola when the outbreak occurred. The outbreak was of a Congo strain, never before seen in West Africa, that was allegedly being researched at the lab. There was no chain of dead people or primates for 3000km between the Congo and West Africa, yet it was all put down to a zoonotic event. Why are virologists who are not coronavirus specialists involved? Then again, if I was Fauci looking for someone who had successfully covered their tracks to help me cover mine......
You can believe in a hell or not. You might believe in karma as I do. I guarantee you that these individuals, who believe one way but acted and performed in another, have created a very special hell for themselves in the future.
