The documents FOIA’ed or leaked in the past month have shown us that there is a lot of info relevant to #OriginsOfCovid still being withheld even outside of China. Many FOIAs are still in progress, and it could take years before those emails and documents are finally released.
It’s troubling that the individuals sitting on these documents don’t have knowledge or access to a secure whistleblower channel, or in some cases they appear not to even understand the impact of the info they’re sitting on and their decision not to make public what they know.

For months, we heard experts say that Covid-19 was less dangerous than the flu. Appropriate actions were not taken to track and stop transmission.

I’m hoping that, starting now, scientists, experts and other leaders will carefully consider the ramifications of their decisions to suppress information or discourse on #OriginsOfCovid
