Why Western intel agencies help Putin and Xi keep their darkest secrets
By Holman W. Jenkins. Excerpts:
"Scientists who, in 1978, quickly concluded the previous year’s global flu pandemic originated in a lab leak in China or Russia chose not to advertise their findings."
"“A laboratory release was the most likely origin,” wrote clinical pathologist Martin Furmanski in a 2014 revisitation of the incident"
"five years later, the Central Intelligence Agency finally judges a lab leak the likeliest scenario, albeit with “low confidence”"
"German intelligence apparently concluded as far back as 2020 and with “high confidence” that a lab mishap was responsible."
"Recall what happened when Australia merely sought China’s cooperation in investigating Covid’s origins. Beijing launched a Trump-style trade war aimed at Australia’s key export industries."
