Why is the government redacting documents and refusing to share information it holds on events that might help us grapple with the mystery of the pandemic’s origins after almost five million deaths? Here are the documents behind my MoS article (Part 1) dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

World's most famous medical journal is accused of doing China's dirty work - my Mail on Sunday report on how @TheLancet stifled debate on the lab leak theory while praising Beijing dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…
Reveals that cabal behind Peter Daszak's infamous statement trying to close down debate on 'conspiracy theories suggesting Covid-19 does not have a natural origin' and endorsing China's 'rapid, open and transparent sharing of data' is preparing a second statement in the journal
Another scientist discloses that the editor rejected his attempt to discuss scientific involvement in persecution of Uighurs on grounds that it might cause problems for his Beijing editor - yet he repeatedly attacks democratic leaders in the UK & US

The @WHO investigation into Sars-CoV-2 claims to have conducted systematic & comprehensive research in its Wuhan probe into the pandemic origins. Note how it is a joint study to appease the Chinese dictatorship that covered up the disease with such devastating global consequences
Chinese expert using @who platform to push debunked idea that the pandemic started outside its borders by stressing that this investigation into the origins is only ‘the first part’, the ‘China part’, and is not limited by geographical location.
Now the Chinese representative is saying cough medicine sales from pharmacies do not indicate early spread of Sars-CoV-2. ‘There is no indication of spread before December 2019.’

Some quotes from self-declared superforecaster Dominic Cummings that are interesting in light of the PM's refusal to hire anyone that challenges him and this government's shambolic incompetence on everything from protecting people in pandemic to the exam fiasco
1) 'Everyone is discouraged from telling the truth to important people. It isn’t a culture in which you admit mistakes. There’s no grip, no focus.' He was attacking Cameron's coalition but sounds familiar, doesn't it?
2) 'The people at the apex of political power (elected and unelected) are far from the best people in the world in terms of goals, intelligence, ethics, or competence.' Yes, his government proves this point daily...

If you want to see the damage that Brexit has wrought to Britain, consider the fact that Claire Fox became a regular voice on the BBC, then an MEP and now has been elevated to the House of Lords by Boris Johnson.
Over the course of her career as a 'controversialist' she ran a magazine that libelled ITV journalists by alleging they faked evidence when exposing some of the worst atrocities in Europe since WW2. It also opposed gun controls after the Dunblane massacre.
