Tucker: Why did they lie to us for so long

Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson. Just over 15 months ago tonight, a group of Chinese scientists working on the ground at the site of a new virus outbreak concluded that the new coronavirus likely escaped from a government laboratory in Wuhan. These Chinese scientists said that in the clearest terms possible and then posted it on the Internet from our perspective. We found this to be a surprising and important story and we also, by the way, expected an avalanche of media interest in it. Where did this virus come from? It seemed like it was worth knowing since people were dying from it, but no one asked the question.

Instead, there was silence punctuated only by occasional smiles about anti-Asian racism and conspiracy theories, and it was that way for over a year until just a few weeks ago, and then suddenly. For reasons we still don't understand, all the smiling morons in the American media changed their minds completely overnight, of course the corona escaped from a Chinese virology lab, what do you think it came from a wet market? ? Come on, that was the new consensus. An avalanche of evidence followed: The Wall Street Journal confirmed that the first corona victim appeared to have been researchers working on bat viruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Buzzfeed later obtained thousands of emails showing that Tony Fauci knew all a

that Kovit could have been manufactured. In China, in dangerous experiments, he helped pay for the laboratory league theory. Turns out it was never crazy, it was probably always true, so why were we lied to about it for so

long

? A shocking new piece in, of all places, the celebrity magazine, Vanity Fair. answers that question in great detail, you should read it in summary, many research scientists are addicted to American tax money, if the American public would understand how recklessly

they

have behaved endangering the entire world with their strange little experiments in poorly regulated laboratories In China, that money could dry up, as a former NSC official named Jamie Metzel succinctly put it, I quote if the pandemic began as part of a lab leak, it had the potential to due to virology what three miles of island and Chernobyl They did to nuclear science you can't have that it has to keep the money flowing, so

they

lied about it and then intimidated anyone who tried to tell the truth, including CDC director Robert Redfield.

Redfield receives death threats from scientists after he suggested the virus could have come from a laboratory. From my perspective, I still think the most likely etiology of this pathogen and Wuhan was from a lab that you know escaped. Other people don't think that's right. Science will eventually find out. It is not unusual for respiratory pathogens to be at work. in a lab to infect the lab worker, not some guy on Twitter, the former director of the CDC, so you think the world would stop and ask follow-up questions, like why do you think where the evidence is, but that's not what happened.

I was threatened and ostracized because I proposed another hypothesis. Redfield told Vanity Fair that he expected it from politicians. He didn't expect it from science, but maybe he should have. Redfield had dared to oppose the orthodoxy imposed by the global scientific establishment with which he began. On February 19, 2020, just when the virus was arriving in this country and scaring the hell out of us all, at that time one of the most important scientific journals in the world, the Lancet published a letter signed by 27 scientists, that letter stated flatly and since always the chronovirus did not originate in a laboratory in wuhan and you would have to be a fanatic to believe otherwise now that letter that we now know was organized by peter dazyk desicc is a man who has a lot to gain by pretending that kovid came from a desert wet market was involved in gain-of-function research at the Wuhun Institute of Virology.

Emails show that Peter Dezek carefully selected other signatories of the Lancet Letter so that this obviously disqualifying conflict of interest would remain secret. At one point, Dasic wrote to another scientist. He called Ralph Barrick, who was also working on research. about gain of function in China, telling him not to sign the letter. Here's why. We will publish it in a way that does not tie it to our collaboration to maximize an independent final voice. I quote so everything was a fraud and it still worked it was in the lancet everyone trusts the lancet in fact Tony Fauci himself cited Dasig's letter as proof that the virus was not caused by the research he was funding if we We looked at the evolution of the virus in bats and what's out there now leans very strongly towards this it couldn't have been artificially or deliberately manipulated in the way that mutations have evolved naturally.

Several very qualified evolutionary biologists have said that everything about gradual evolution over time strongly indicates that it evolved in nature and then jumped species, of course it couldn't have been us, so this is actually a story about the self-licking ice cream cone that is the federal bureaucracy, no matter how badly they screw up, it's never their fault, oh us. I didn't imagine weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, etc., fix your mistake, it's your fault, racist, but it wasn't just Tony Fauci and the federal bureaucrats who cited that letter, the self-appointed fact-checkers, who control the flow of information in our country that is now used. the lancet letter to censor on social networks anyone who mentions the possibility of a laboratory leak cannot be true the lancet says it is not true 27 eminent scientists say it is not true only a few scientists in the face of all this dared to speak out one Of them his name was jill dumanis he formed a group of researchers called drastic, which is an acronym for decentralized radical autonomous search team, something that all scientists should be jamie metzel, the former nsc official soon joined the group almost immediately, in April of last year.

It was becoming clear to Metzel that the lab league theory was not a conspiracy theory, in fact, it was plausible. I think if I had to bet based on what I've read and logic, I'd bet that this was most likely an accidental leak. from a lab it turns out that Metzel wasn't exactly speculating about that, unlike the scientific establishment, he and drastic had evidence that they had bothered to gather and discovered that the official scientific consensus had in fact been altered at the source in one case they discovered that xi jing li, the bat lady in wuhan, had collected samples of a bat corona virus that were virtually identical to the coveted 19.

Where did she get these samples? He found them in a cave in Yunnan province in China. Several miners had been killed there. After inhaling bat guano left by these bats, she recognized that this virus was important because it had moved directly to humans without first passing through an intermediate animal host. The Chinese seem to be looking for the most dangerous virus they could find and in that cave they found. After the chronovirus pandemic began, Xi Jing Li tried to hide that Kovid 19 was virtually identical to this virus he had collected in the mine in his records, renamed the virus to hide its source, Peter Dazyk, and then published an article with xi jinglee categorizing all of the various strains of chronovirus they had found in recent years, the newspaper listed hundreds of them and yet somehow, and you will be surprised, they left out the deadly viruses found in the Yunnan mine , it's funny that those viruses were significant, well, the Chinese government seems to think.

Late last year, BBC journalists tried to visit that mind to get some answers and when they got there they were followed by plainclothes police officers and discovered that the road to the mine had been blocked by a broken down truck, so the Chinese government covered this up but here is the worst part and the most shocking part if you are an American, some within the US government helped them cover it up, they knew from the beginning that this was happening but they also buried the truth because their interests were aligned with interests. Chinese government chief Christopher Park, a director of the State Department's nonproliferation office, told agency investigators not to say anything that could point to the U.S. government's own role in the gain-of-function investigation.

Now, why would you say that it turns out that Christopher Park was involved in the 2017 decision, a world-changing decision, that resulted in lifting the federal moratorium on funding gain-of-function research. vanity fair obtained a memo from thomas diana, who was then the acting undersecretary of the state department's arms control office in that memo who wrote that staff at two state department offices had warned leaders within his office that they not carry out an investigation into the origin of Covet 19 because it would open a can of worms. These are Americans working to hide the truth about Covet's origin. 19 from a country that has been destroyed by greed 19.

You can't prevent outbreaks unless you know where they came from, and yet federal bureaucrats prevented us from knowing where this one came from. One of the officials who wanted to close the investigation was Chris. Acting Undersecretary for Arms Control and International Security Ford, a former administration official with direct knowledge of the investigation, direct knowledge tells this program that Chris Ford was briefed on the lab leak investigation before December 2020, when Ford claims he first found out, we're told. that Ford wanted to shut it down, it was overruled by the Secretary of State at the time, Mike Pompeo, Ford, by the way, was not a permanent bureaucrat, he was a political appointee, but he spoke for many in the professional bureaucracy, many of the which, they tell us, they wanted to close.

Bury the investigation due to political animosity. They did not like the administration they served and did not want to give them points. They accused anyone who asked questions about the origin of the virus of being a conspiracy theorist, and in our conformist culture that's enough. to shut people up in other words, they acted like the people you see on television, like msnbc hosts, they did not act like federal officials who are sworn to protect American lives, they were not protecting American lives, they are protecting the consensus and those American lives. in danger as for the actual MSNBC hosts, well, they've reverted to a childish state of incoherence.

Watch this silly little fan swoon over Tony Fauci like he's the bassist in a boy band. As you learn more and more, you have to continue. evolve with the data and that's what I was trying to do is always tell the truth based on the data and it was never anything deliberately against the president, in fact, you talked about my emails, you look at my emails, I never entered the email said anything derogatory about President Trump, well the true brand of someone is whether they look good even when their personal emails come out so that you pass the test that very few of us would pass.

I love you, Tony Fauci, still talking about Trump. That's where some of them still are, but there are still adults in this country. Hey Sean Hannity here, click here to subscribe to the Fox News YouTube page for our hottest interviews and most compelling analysis. You won't find them anywhere else.
