How many times do those seeking to minimize the threat need to get it wrong before they finally start to take this virus seriously?
Before it became a pandemic it was a hoax.
Then maybe it would not reach the USA.
Then it was only a few cases that were being controlled.
Then it was only similar to the seasonal flu.
Then it could die off on its own.
Then it could die off in the heat of the summer months.
Then it was only seriously affecting certain vulnerable groups.
Etc.
[Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong...]
Now it is only seriously affecting 1% of those who contract the virus?
Now it is primarily the young who are now contracting it, and so it is no longer serious?
Now it is herd immunity already being achieved?
Etc.

What Data? What have they tried to cover up? Everybody say that they have tried to cover up things, but so far I haven’t seen any proof of that.
. Given the simplicity and utility of this step this lack of transparency suggests that there is something to hide. If so, it must be important. But then the question is: What?

One could post clips of people many site as authoritative figures advocating for all the points now “wrong “ before,
agreeing now they are.
So, the reason for sticking with a viewpoint that downplays the seriousness of the coronavirus is: that you could find some “authorities” that supported that viewpoint initially? And after those “authorities” were shown to be wrong time after time after time...? Why are these sources still being listened to? Why haven’t you found sources with a better track record?
If the public has learned a lesson from the COVID-19 pandemic it is that science does not generate certainty.
Do homemade face masks work?
What is the death rate of COVID-19?
How accurate are the tests?
How many people have no symptoms? And so on.
Practically the lone undisputed assertion made so far is that all the nearest known genetic relatives of its cause, the Sars-CoV-2 virus, are found in horseshoe bats (Zhou et al., 2020). Therefore, the likely viral reservoir was a bat.
However, most of these ancestor-like bat coronaviruses cannot infect humans
science does not generate certainty.
An investigation is needed, but who will do it?
If the Shi lab has anything to hide, it is not only the Chinese Government that will be reluctant to see an impartial investigation proceed.
Much of the work was funded by the US taxpayer, channeled there by Peter Daszak and the EcoHealth Alliance. Virtually every credible international organisation that might in principle carry out such an investigation, the WHO, the US CDC, the FAO, the US NIH, including the Gates Foundation, is either an advisor to, or a partner of, the EcoHealth Alliance. If the Sars-CoV-2 outbreak originated from the bat coronavirus work at the WIV then just about every major institution in the global public health community is implicated.
