The meetingвЂ™s participants were later involved in two letters to scientific journals that stated the virus must have emerged naturally and that condemned any suggestion of manipulation as a conspiracy theory. Yet within a few days of the meeting, the virologists abruptly reversed their conclusion. The conference was held to discuss the unanimous view of a group of virologists that the SARS2 virus had been manipulated in a lab. Farrar supplied further information in his book Spike, published on July 22.

News of the conference emerged with the release this June of emails from the office of Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The organizer was Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust, a large medical research charity in London. The mishandling began at a pivotal teleconference held on February 1, 2020.

But China received considerable help, strange to say, from senior medical research officials in the United Kingdom and United States who mishandled and effectively derailed the initial inquiry into the virusвЂ™s origins. A vigorous campaign of concealment by the Chinese authorities is the principal reason. Some 20 months after the Covid-19 pandemic first broke out, its origins remain obscure.
