Yes, I used to believe this, too — until I realized that the “science” has been politicized in this pandemic. Until I realized that doctors and members of the scientific community were being silenced in their search for truth. This had never happened before in history on such a wide scale.
The article in Vanity Fair linked below is incredibly eye-opening. From the beginning, we have been deceived about the true origins of this virus. The “science” was co-opted to fit a political narrative. The science was manipulated to hide an inconvenient and hideous truth: the U.S. government was likely complicit in giving birth to the virus that turned the world upside down and destroyed countless lives, inside and outside of hospitals.
One can only wonder what other ways the science may have been compromised. How many viable treatments were neglected or dismissed in the relentless push for a vaccine that stands to enrich Big Pharma for decades to come?
All I know with certainty now is this: we do not live in the world we are told (or want to believe) we live in:
“But for most of the past year, the lab-leak scenario was treated not simply as unlikely or even inaccurate but as morally out-of-bounds. In late March, former Centers for Disease Control director Robert Redfield received death threats from fellow scientists after telling CNN that he believed COVID-19 had originated in a lab. “I was threatened and ostracized because I proposed another hypothesis,” Redfield told Vanity Fair. “I expected it from politicians. I didn’t expect it from science.”

“Dr. Richard Ebright, board of governors professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Rutgers University, said that from the very first reports of a novel bat-related coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, it took him “a nanosecond or a picosecond” to consider a link to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Only two other labs in the world, in Galveston, Texas, and Chapel Hill, North Carolina, were doing similar research. “It’s not a dozen cities,” he said. “It’s three places.”
Then came the revelation that the Lancet statement was not only signed but organized by a zoologist named Peter Daszak, who has repackaged U.S. government grants and allocated them to facilities conducting gain-of-function research — among them the Wuhan Institute of Virology itself. David Asher, now a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, ran the State Department’s day-to-day COVID-19 origins inquiry. He said it soon became clear that “there is a huge gain-of-function bureaucracy” inside the federal government.
…
A small group within the State Department’s Arms Control, Verification, and Compliance bureau had been studying the Institute for months. The group had recently acquired classified intelligence suggesting that three WIV researchers conducting gain-of-function experiments on coronavirus samples had fallen ill in the autumn of 2019, before the COVID-19 outbreak was known to have started.
As officials at the meeting discussed what they could share with the public, they were advised by Christopher Park, the director of the State Department’s Biological Policy Staff in the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, not to say anything that would point to the U.S. government’s own role in gain-of-function research, according to documentation of the meeting obtained by Vanity Fair.”
