There's a big elephant that's been in the room since day one, and that is the Wuhan, the theory of the Wuhan Lab League of where this thing came from. We lost our channels for questioning it early on, and it's still a big question. And now some big players are getting involved. One of them is Jeffrey D. Sachs. He is now a chair of the Lancet's COVID-19 commission. He's been there for a little while now, but he wrote this article recently. This was right in May.

He co-authored a paper. This is in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. He says a call for independent inquiry into the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. He thinks the U.S. government is basically preventing a real investigation in this pandemic, and he says so in so many words by saying this. The investigation into the origin of the virus has been made difficult by the lack of key evidence from the early days of the outbreak. There's no doubt that greater transparency on the part of Chinese authorities would be enormously helpful.

Nevertheless, we argue here that there is much more important information that can be gleaned from U.S.-based research institutions, information not yet made available for independent, transparent, scientific scrutiny. What institutions may those be? He says the NIH has resisted the release of important evidence, such as the grant proposals and project reports of EcoHealth Alliance and has continued to redact materials released under FOIA, including a remarkable 290-page redaction in a recent FOIA release. See, they can redact things.

I told you. They go on to say, information now has. held by the research team headed by EcoHealth Alliance as well as the communications of that research team with U.S. research funding agencies, including NIH, USAID, DARPA, DTRA, and the Department of Homeland Security could shed considerable light on the experiments undertaken by the U.S. funded research team and on the possible relationship, if any, between those experiments and the emergence of SARS-CoV-2. So remember, Del, in February of 2020, the Lancet was singing a very different tune. And this is what it looked like here. We even reported on the emails, the behind the scenes

emails that made this paper possible. This was a statement in support of scientists, public health professionals, and medical professionals of China combating COVID-19. And what did they say? February 2020, this thing is just starting. We say, we stand together to strongly contempt conspiracy theory suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin. And that was used by fact-checkers to shut everybody down to question the lab leak theory. And so we fast- And by the way, let me just jump in. here, this is the type of thing as a journalist that if you're a real journalist, you actually have real blood pumping through your brain, sends off a red flag. We have a virus we know nothing about. We know that there have been back coronaviruses being studied in a Wuhan lab. And in that same town,

suddenly we have an outbreak that sweeps the world of a version of COVID we have never seen before and is very problematic for a very specific group of people. Those over the age of 70, also having heart conditions and COPD. We've talked about all of that. But, Why are all these doctors suddenly saying, we're outraged that someone would think that that lab has anything to do with it? It actually goes against all reason. It also goes against all reason that our own CDC that is supposed to be worrying about biological attacks

and is uber paranoid about it, that their first thing to say, no, this is definitely natural. They kept saying us, and they still say, we don't know anything about this virus, really we're shocked by everything that seems to be doing, but the one thing we know for sure, as it didn't come from a lab, a lab where they were working on what back coronavirus is.

This thing has always stunk to high heaven. And the fact that we have, in this statement that he's making in this article, that our own government is blocking investigation into an enemy nation. I'm sorry, I don't know how to say it any other way, a nation that would love to see the demise of our country, would love to somehow make us enslaved to everything that they're doing. And lo and behold, we shut down our economy while theirs was up and running. everything we're buying now seems to be coming from China. We put them back in power all this,

and no one in our government happens to think, well, you know what, geez, now that almost everyone in science thinks that maybe did come from that lab, perhaps we should demand some answers from our enemy, what the hell happened here? Because you imagine if this wasn't an accident? Because that seems to be all that's left in this conversation.

If it did come from that lab, then you have to ask the next obvious question, was it accidental or on purpose? When your government, And none of the drama queens at CNN, MSNBC or Fox are asking that question, man, something's up. And on that paper from February 2020, one of the lead authors is EcoHealth Alliance head, Peter Dazick. So that's important to understand because here he is at the beginning, directing the conversation and now impeding the investigation. So he's on both sides of the coin here.

But the Lancet itself is singing a very different tune these days. So let's look at the Daily Mail. This is what it says. They're saying the lab leak, world's top medical journal finally says COVID-19 could have come from lab leak. So this is what it looks like now. And this is the Lansing Commission. And this is the title of their paper where they say that. The Lansing Commission on Lessons for the Future from the COVID-19 pandemic, from the future.

And it says as of the time of publication of this report, all three research-associated hypotheses are still plausible. Infection in the field, infection with a natural virus. laboratory and infection with a manipulated virus in the laboratory. So, Della, notice, two out of three of those are coming from a laboratory. I know. And I would add number four, infection because of a purposeful release from something made in a laboratory, which is, in many ways, isn't that why your enemies are making these things in labs? If we're worried about a bioweapon attack, who exactly would use that? And so, Del, we have the Intercept now is talking NIH awards new grant to

U.S. organization at Center of COVID-19 Lab League. So we have the, they're now, we have the National Institutes of Health has now granted its EcoHealth Alliance, another, basically another grant. So they're showing that they, they have here a grant for Vietnam. So let's actually take a look at that grant. So it says here, analyzing the potential for future bat coronavirus emergence in Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam. And it says here within that actual grant, aim number two, sampling and PCR screening of bats and other wildlife at community surveillance sites to identify viruses and hosts related to the human infections detected in name one, bold genome sequencing and cell entry assays to assess ability to infect human cells. And this shouldn't be shocking, though, because over the last three years since 2020, we've had NIH giving grants to EcoHealth Alliance and Peter Dasek, who still is there, And you can see in this, this is the NIH funding page. You can see each year they're getting over $1.5 million in funding to study zoonotic virus emergence in parts of Southeast Asia.

And you can see in 2022 they're getting almost $2 million. So why is this a big deal at this point? Well, we have Peter Dasick, you know, again, he was leading the conversation. He was picked at the beginning of this pandemic, the response by the Lancet, to a cha-chette. their COVID origins investigation. And then he had to recuse himself from that because finally there was enough upward to do that. This was the headline that that showed that Wuhan lab creator recused from Lance's COVID-19 origins investigation. But if you look at the commission, the commission Dasik was on in 2020, you can see it wasn't only him.

So he chaired it. But also a research scientist from EcoHealth Alliance named Sue Yadonna. So we have two people from Equal Health Alliance. on Lancet's commission. So again, Dan... The commission, by the way, that went out of its way to say that this was absolutely natural and anybody's saying otherwise was a conspiracy theorist. Now the conspiracy theorists are the ones that believe it was natural. And so we've slipped this thing on its head.

And so what you're saying is the guy that, you know, was a part of pushing a lie on the world is still being funded by our government. Absolutely. Yeah. You have him, literally the main figure leading the investigation, now is actively impeding it, impeding it still at EcoHealth Alliance and he's getting a grant from NIH as we speak. So Anthony Fauci was asked about this recently because he hasn't stepped down from NIH yet. It's supposed to be in December.

He was asked about this recently in an interview. Listen to what he had to say. As part of the probes into the lab leak, EcoHealth Alliance, which conducted so-called gain of function research on coronaviruses in China, there are reports that it is again being funded by your agency. Now, politicians and some watchdogs have said eco-health and your agency haven't been fully transparent about the research into dangerous pathogens. Why are you confident, doctor, that eco-health is a good funding partner for your agency here? If we're keeping an open mind, is it too early to go back to funding eco-health? Well, eco-health puts in, has grants that have

nothing to do with what we're talking about that are looking at surveillance in different countries. And when they put a grant in, and there are administrative issues related to another grant, not the grants that are getting ready to be funded, and the administrative structure of the NIH, which is fundamentally in NIH Central, gives a list of administrative things they need to address. and they adequately address it, there is really no mechanism to say arbitrarily, we can't fund you, even though you've been peer reviewed and highly recommended for funding, because someone doesn't like you. I mean, if they ever brought that in court, they could sue us and win that in a microsecond. Man, how many more months we have to listen to this guy?

I can't dig it. Yeah, I mean, it's just an outright lie right there. He said it has nothing to do with the COVID, you know, the COVID outbreak. Actually, it does. They're looking for bat coronaviruses in the jungles of essentially Vietnam. They're going to rapidly viral sequence these things and try to get them out for vaccine development. That means they're most likely going to be shipping these things out around the world. And also the scientists searching for these things can act as vectors for the actual virus themselves if they interact with it.

So it's exactly what it does. But now we're getting, we're getting some noise, if you will, from another big name. And that's a former CDC director. And it's written up in a great article by Paul Thacker. He's an American journalist. And he's also, he served as a lead investigator of the United States Senate Committee on Finance for Chuck Grassler. So he writes this. This is his article at Substack title, former CDC director, Robert Redfield on Inside Battles with Anthony Fauci,

and why classified information will point to a lab accident in Wuhan. Pretty serious there. So he writes, this is Robert Redfield speaking, the former director of the CDC. Looking at this as a virologist, this virus was not acting like others. It had an accelerated capacity to transmit among humans. My view was it wasn't biologically plausible

that this happened because some animal infected a human and it immediately was one of the most infectious viruses that we have ever seen. And then we see the Wuhan lab. They had published papers in 2015. Tony, that's Fauci, refused to seriously consider this. And then you see the Lancet published that letter in early 2020 calling people conspiracy theorists. There was nothing scientific about that letter.

It was just an attempt to intimidate people. Redfield goes on to end with this. Nothing is going to happen as long as the Biden administration is here. I don't think the WHO committee is a fair committee, but it is better than dismissing a lab accident as conspiracy like they did before. I think there's more to be discovered. And I think by 2024, a lot of this will be out there. Let's hope it's sooner than that, Robert. I mean, amazing to think that's the head of the CDC.

That's not just some chump with an opinion. That's literally the guy that was sitting in the room listening to these people, spin up the bologna that we had to listen to over the last two years. I'm going to put him on my bucket list. Everyone, whether you like him or not, I'm going to see what I could do to get him on the high wire. So keep your fingers crossed. That's an interview would be very, very interesting. Absolutely.

All right, Jeffrey. amazing reporting and just so much being revealed, you know, in so many ways. We started out all alone, buddy. It was just, you know, me and you, the Highwire here, a lone voice in media. But boy, the floodgates have opened up now mainstream even, you know, watching Tucker Carlson and others, Lori Ingram, you know, sort of get behind these stories and seeing, you know, writers like this and scientists and ex-CDC heads. coming forward on top of the amazing, illustrious group of team leaders we have, like Dr. Robert Malone and Ventra of MRNA vaccines, Dr. Peter McCullough, Pierre, Corey, Paul Merrick,

all of whom have appeared on the show. It just feels like, man, we have a heck of a Super Bowl-bound football team here. They better look out. Yeah, absolutely. And it's never going to go back to the way it was, Del. I speak to you often about we have held a space, a small space in our sphere here for these days. doctors and for these writers to step up and step in and really move this ball further than you and I and others could ever have done. And they've done that. And it's never going to stop now. The truth is coming out. And I look forward to seeing the next wave of talented writers and researchers and presenters that are going to bring this information just continue to bring it out.

So thank you. And it's been great to be alongside you here.
