While the Democrat, their Super Pac, the media and social media were censoring anyone whoo may have thought (rightly or wrongly) that the COVID-19 virus, that has now killed nearly 600,000 Americans may have been manipulated in the Wuhan Lab in China. Anyone who suggested this was dismissed as a conspiracy theorist, a nut, anti-science etc. Now it turns out that the real reason that this theory was dismissed last year is because Deep State hacks at the State Department who sabotaged Trump’s re-election didn’t want to “open a can of worm” by exposing China.
Behind closed doors, however, national security and public health experts and officials across a range of departments in the executive branch were locked in high-stakes battles over what could and couldn’t be investigated and made public.
A months long Vanity Fair investigation, interviews with more than 40 people, and a review of hundreds of pages of U.S. government documents, including internal memos, meeting minutes, and email correspondence, found that conflicts of interest, stemming in part from large government grants supporting controversial virology research, hampered the U.S. investigation into COVID-19’s origin at every step. In one State Department meeting, officials seeking to demand transparency from the Chinese government say they were explicitly told by colleagues not to explore the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s gain-of-function research, because it would bring unwelcome attention to U.S. government funding of it.
In an internal memo obtained by Vanity Fair, Thomas DiNanno, former acting assistant secretary of the State Department’s Bureau of Arms Control, Verification, and Compliance, wrote that staff from two bureaus, his own and the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, “warned” leaders within his bureau “not to pursue an investigation into the origin of COVID-19” because it would “‘open a can of worms’ if it continued.”
