@COVIDSelect's alarming new report investigating the infamous "Proximal Origin" publication reveals a coordinated cover-up — prompted by Dr. Fauci — to downplay the COVID-19 lab-leak hypothesis and suppress scientific discourse.
Main takeaways🧵👇
Co-author @K_G_Andersen confirms, on two separate occasions, that the main objective of "Proximal Origin" was to disprove the lab-leak theory.
▪️ "Our main work...has been focused on trying to disprove any type of lab theory..."
▪️ "...none of this helps refute a lab origin..."
Former @NIHDirector & co-author Dr. Rambaut admit "Proximal Origin" is an organized attempt to protect China.
▪️ "Given the s**t show that would happen if anyone serious accused the Chinese of even accidental release..."
▪️ "...do no unnecessary harm...in China in particular."
Dr. Fauci, Dr. Collins, & @NIH exerted undue influence over the drafting and publication of "Proximal Origin."
▪️ Dr. Fauci suggested drafting a lab-leak suppression paper to coauthor @K_G_Andersen TWICE!
▪️ Dr. Collins pushed for publication & approved the paper's substance.
The "Proximal Origin" co-authors were so comfortable with the @NIH's inappropriate involvement that they coined the name “Bethesda Boys” to describe Dr. Fauci and Dr. Collins.
▪️ "He's sent it to the Bethesda boys."
▪️ "I suspect Bethesda will be sending it round already?"
Many conclusions championed by "Proximal Origin" suffer from inaccurate assumptions and obvious inconsistencies.
Notably, the co-authors skewed available evidence to execute Fauci's vision & ensure publication in Nature Medicine.
“Proximal Origin” co-authors — aided by Drs. Fauci & Collins — successfully vilified the lab-leak theory during the height of the pandemic.
Americans deserve to know why this happened & who was involved so we can prevent future suppression of scientific discourse.

Explosive emails from Dr. David Morens — Senior Scientific Advisor @NIAIDNews & Dr. Fauci ally — reveal a potential violation of federal record keeping laws.
Get your popcorn ready folks...🧵👇
Dr. Morens intentionally used his personal email to avoid FOIA and evade transparency to the American people:
▪️ "I try to always communicate on gmail because my NIH email is FOIA'd constantly."
▪️ "I will delete anything I don't want to see in the New York Times"
Dr. Morens used his official capacity @NIAIDNews to disparage reporters and belittle his fellow scientists:
▪️ "Do not rule out suing these a**holes (@theintercept) for slander."
▪️ "Ebright and his ilk are not only NOT experts but are harmful demogogues."
