For years, the biggest unanswered question surrounding the COVID origins scandal has been deceptively simple: Who in the U.S. government knew what was going on before the virus emerged in Wuhan?
We already know American taxpayer money supported risky coronavirus research connected to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and newly released records have exposed a much deeper relationship between Anthony Fauci’s NIAID and the U.S. intelligence community than the public was ever told.
Now another piece of that puzzle may be falling into place. Buried in the latest Fauci documents is a remarkable trail connecting the intelligence community to the very kind of coronavirus-engineering research that would become the focus of worldwide scrutiny after COVID erupted.
One of the most important scientists in that story had connections on both sides — to the researchers working with Wuhan and to the American intelligence apparatus examining biological threats.
