From the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, the Chinese Communist Party has been involved

The Party silenced doctors who tried to warn others about the virus.

They lied about human-to-human transmission of the virus.

They pressured the World Health Organization to repeat those lies.

That's why I've been calling the coronavirus the CCP virus.

Because no matter where the virus came from, the Chinese Communist Party is still responsible

for the cover-up that led to a global pandemic.

But now that the Wuhan lab-leak theory is suddenly credible, more media have been doing...actual

Which means they're almost catching up to the group of amateur Twitter sleuths who broke

So evidence that the CCP virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan is piling up.

Their response to this has been to repeatedly imply that the coronavirus actually comes

from the US military biolab at Fort Detrick.

With headlines like “Who lives a lie gets challenged by the truth.”

Proving once again the Communist Party lives in an irony-free zone.

I've talked about how the US media outright dismissed the lab leak hypothesis as a conspiracy

theory, which made them a mouthpiece for Chinese communist propaganda.

That's on my other channel America Uncovered.

But this denial and censorship isn't just the media's fault.

For the last year, we've been told to “follow the science” when it comes to the virus.

But it's clear now the Chinese regime has been able to manipulate, co-opt, and censor

“the science” from the very beginning.

Like when Chinese police silenced Dr. Li Wenliang for trying to warn other doctors about the

Another early example: A group of Chinese researchers shared the genome of the CCP virus

This was hailed as a sign China was being more open about the virus outbreak.

The lab that released the genome was shut down for “rectification” the next day.

The researchers had already sequenced the genome on January 5, two days before China's

official announcement that the mysterious pneumonia cases in Wuhan were caused by a

“The team made the finding public on January 11 after it saw that the authorities had taken

no obvious action to warn the public about the coronavirus.”

But months later, the head of that lab, Zhang Yongzhen, denied that his lab suffered any

Chinese scientists work under an authoritarian regime.

If he's talking to TIME magazine, Zhang isn't going to say, “Yeah the government

But it turns out, Zhang's lab was not the first one to sequence the virus genome.

Several other labs had sequenced it in late December and early January.

Then they were ordered by health officials to stop testing and destroy the samples.

“On Jan. 3, China's National Health Commission (NHC), the nation's top health authority,

ordered institutions not to publish any information related to the unknown disease, and ordered

labs to transfer any samples they had to designated testing institutions, or to destroy them.”

Even the Wuhan Institute of Virology was ordered to destroy their samples.

So given the global gag order, Zhang's lab would definitely have been in trouble for

publishing the genome without official approval.

So the Chinese Communist Party has definitely censored scientists in China.

But the Chinese regime has also censored scientists in the West.

They've done this through manipulating Western scientific journals to silence any discussion

We're talking about the CCP virus, so you probably didn't see an ad there, did you?

One of the main ways the Communist Party spreads its message is to co-opt outsiders and get

In the case of the CCP virus, one of the loudest voices has been Dr. Peter Daszak.

Daszak worked directly with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

But he organized a letter published in the Lancet.

His letter called the lab leak hypothesis a conspiracy theory.

Of course, at first people didn't realize that Daszak's non-profit was working with

the Wuhan Institute of Virology on bat coronaviruses, because Daszak didn't disclose that giant

In fact, he outright lied and said “We declare no competing interests.”

And then he talked to anyone who would interview him about how the idea that the CCP virus

could have possibly leaked from a lab was an absurd and harmful conspiracy theory.

Daszak also traveled to China as part of the WHO team to investigate the origins of the

He was the only American allowed on the team.

Sure, he's worked with the lab that should be investigated, but that just means he's

Speaking of conspiracy theories, Daszak even gave an interview to my favorite Chinese state-run

He validated their propaganda that the CCP virus did not come from China.

Last year, after the Trump administration shut down funding to Daszak's non-profit,

Nature magazine even did a sympathetic interview with Daszak.

Of course, when Daszak was describing the research they did in Wuhan that the US government

should definitely be funding, he conveniently left out the part about how the Wuhan Institute

of Virology was doing gain of function research to make coronaviruses more dangerous to humans.

We know they were doing this based on research grants Daszak got from the US National Institutes
