The Lancet statement deriding the lab leak theory as a conspiracy theory to be ignored is a prime example.

In a June 18, 2021, article,<sup><span id=\"edn7\" data-hash=\"#ednref7\">7<\/span><\/sup> Matt Ridley suggests it might have to do with the fact that \u201cscientific papers have become increasingly dependent on the fees that Chinese scientists pay to publish in them, plus advertisements from Chinese firms and subscriptions from Chinese institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Lancet is not alone in its less than objective stance on China. In 2017, the Nature journal admitted it censors articles containing words like \u201cTaiwan,\u201d \u201cTibet\u201d and \u201ccultural revolution\u201d in its Chinese editions at the request of the Chinese government.<sup><span id=\"edn8\" data-hash=\"#ednref8\">8<\/span><\/sup> \u201cIn April 2020 Nature ran an editorial apologizing for its \u2018error\u2019 in \u2018associating the virus with Wuhan\u2019 in its news coverage,\u201d Ridley writes.<sup><span id=\"edn9\" data-hash=\"#ednref9\">9<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Nature also attached an editorial note to several old articles, saying they were being misused \u201cas the basis for unverified theories that the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19 was engineered,\u201d and that \u201cthere is no evidence that this is true; scientists believe that an animal is the most likely source of the coronavirus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of those articles, published in 2015, was titled \u201cEngineered bat virus stirs debate over risky research.\u201d The research being questioned was done by WIV researchers.<\/p>\n<h2>Gaslighting Alert: Abusers Now Play the Victim Card<\/h2>\n<p>For the past year and a half, scientists, doctors, reporters and anyone else who dared point out blatant discrepancies in the natural origins narrative have been attacked and painted as quacks and dangerous conspiracy theorists. They\u2019ve been censored, deplatformed and publicly defamed and shamed. Many a fine career has been ruined or seriously tarnished by baseless personal attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Now that undeniable evidence is finally reaching critical mass, natural origin defenders are playing the victim card. For example, Amy Maxmen, Ph.D., a journalist for Nature for the past 13 years, has been covering the <a href=\"https:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2021\/01\/14\/where-did-coronavirus-originate.aspx\">SARS-CoV-2 origin<\/a> debate. In a May 26, 2021, tweet, she stated the \u201cdebate over a lab-leak has become toxic and risky.\u201d<sup><span id=\"edn10\" data-hash=\"#ednref10\">10<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Angela Rasmussen, Ph.D., a natural origin proponent, responded saying that \u201cthe origins debate has become a toxic milieu dominated by opportunists, dilettantes, racist\/misogynist assholes, and trolls.\u201d<sup><span id=\"edn11\" data-hash=\"#ednref11\">11<\/span><\/sup> Rasmussen claims she\u2019s been personally attacked and abused for trying to explain the natural origin theory.<\/p>\n<p>The irony is that the same people who abused others for talking about the <a href=\"https:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2021\/02\/26\/origin-of-coronavirus-who.aspx\">lab leak theory<\/a> are now getting a taste of their own medicine, and they don\u2019t like it. They\u2019re the ones who have been peddling misinformation all along, and as the masses are catching on to the deceit, they\u2019re catching heat.<\/p>\n<p>To deflect and finger-point yet again, abusers are now playing the victim. Another tactic is to claim that attacks on them are attacks on science itself. Dr. Anthony Fauci, for example, has stated this on more than one occasion already.<sup><span id=\"edn12\" data-hash=\"#ednref12\">12<\/span>,<span id=\"edn13\" data-hash=\"#ednref13\">13<\/span><\/sup> In a June 2021 MSNBC interview, Fauci said criticizing him was \u201cvery dangerous,\u201d and that:<sup><span id=\"edn14\" data-hash=\"#ednref14\">14<\/span>,<span id=\"edn15\" data-hash=\"#ednref15\">15<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cA lot of what you\u2019re seeing as attacks on me quite frankly are attacks on science because all of the things I have spoken about from the very beginning have been fundamentally based on science \u2026 If you are trying to get at me as a public health official and scientist, you\u2019re really attacking not only Dr. Anthony Fauci, you are attacking science.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>His comments didn\u2019t go over well, based on social media responses.<sup><span id=\"edn16\" data-hash=\"#ednref16\">16<\/span><\/sup> Reporter Glenn Greenwald\u2019s Tweet will suffice to summarize the general consensus:<sup><span id=\"edn17\" data-hash=\"#ednref17\">17<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cBeyond the dangerous arrogance and pomposity of proclaiming \u2018anyone who criticizes me is attacking Science\u2019 \u2014 thus placing himself off-limits from questioning \u2014 he *admitted* he purposely issued false, anti-science, politicized claims \u2026 Once you *admit* that you made false statements in violation of The Science&#x2122;, you don&#8217;t then get to equate yourself to The Science&#x2122; such that attacks on you are attacks on it.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Another example is that of Dr. Peter Hotez, one of the most shockingly hateful people in the medical field who has publicly stated he wants to <a href=\"https:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2018\/03\/13\/current-vaccination-program-safety-effectiveness.aspx\">\u201csnuff out\u201d vaccine skeptics<\/a> and has <a href=\"https:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2021\/05\/10\/the-rise-of-utilitarian-extremism.aspx\">called for cyberwarfare measures<\/a> to be deployed against me and others who share vaccine safety information. Coincidentally, this public plea was published in the journal Nature.<sup><span id=\"edn18\" data-hash=\"#ednref18\">18<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>This man, who has spewed all sorts of vile language at parents of vaccine-injured children and called for physical harm and imprisonment of people who don\u2019t agree with the one-size-fits-all vaccine agenda is now complaining about getting bombarded with \u201canti-vaxx hate speech.\u201d<sup><span id=\"edn19\" data-hash=\"#ednref19\">19<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<h2>Billions of Dollars at Stake<\/h2>\n<p>To circle back to the question of why prominent and previously respected science journals are publishing propaganda and suppressing open discussion, the most likely reason \u2014 aside from their dependence on Chinese publishing fees and advertising dollars \u2014 is the fact that if SARS-CoV-2 is proven to be a manmade virus that escaped from a lab (regardless of its location), billions of dollars in funding for <a href=\"https:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2020\/09\/17\/gain-of-function-research.aspx\">gain-of-function research<\/a> and even vaccine research could evaporate.<\/p>\n<p>As a publisher of research, it makes sense that journals would be willing to protect the research industry as a whole, and provide a platform for chosen spokespeople \u2014 such as Hotez \u2014 who shamelessly promote the official narrative, no matter how tenuous or unscientific it might be, or how clear the conflicts of interest.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s another case in point: June 28, 2021, Bloomberg tweeted out a short video featuring Danielle Anderson, an Australian WIV virologist who left Wuhan shortly before the pandemic broke out. Anderson says she \u201cdoes not believe\u201d the virus is manmade. In response, Hotez tweeted:<sup><span id=\"edn20\" data-hash=\"#ednref20\">20<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cAnd we\u2019re in agreement: SARS-2 coronavirus has natural origins, was not produced through GOF [gain-of-function] research, and probably has nothing to do with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Coincidentally, Anderson is also on The Lancet\u2019s COVID-19 Commission,<sup><span id=\"edn21\" data-hash=\"#ednref21\">21<\/span><\/sup> the same Commission that Daszak was on. Her Lancet Commission bio<sup><span id=\"edn22\" data-hash=\"#ednref22\">22<\/span><\/sup> says nothing about her work at the WIV, only that she is a senior research fellow at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Why is that? Is Anderson\u2019s link to the WIV yet another \u201crandom coincidence\u201d that has no bearing on her message? Or is it part of a pattern?<\/p>\n<p>I believe the engineering of viruses and other pathogens is one of the greatest threats to life on earth at this point. We lucked out with SARS-CoV-2, as it turned out to be far less lethal than initially predicted. The next time we might not be so lucky.<\/p>\n<p>As reported in July 2020, China has plans to erect high-security biolabs in all of its 23 provinces, despite concerns about leakage risks.<sup><span id=\"edn23\" data-hash=\"#ednref23\">23<\/span><\/sup> Worldwide, there are hundreds of laboratories where this kind of research is taking place on a daily basis. Considering the history of lab leaks, it\u2019s only a matter of time before something truly nasty gets out.<\/p>\n<p>This is why we must get to the bottom of where SARS-CoV-2 came from. We must know if it was manmade because, if so, we need to ban gain-of-function research aimed at making pathogens more dangerous to humans.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there are harmless gain-of-function experiments, and that\u2019s not what we\u2019re talking about here, although, harmless experiments can, of course, be steps in a process that ultimately results in a dangerous bioweapon. Overall, I think we need to seriously reconsider the need and value of genetic manipulation of viruses and the creation of synthetic ones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"bcr_divfootnote\"
