UK Levelling Up Minister Michael Gove on Tuesday pointed to a "significant body of judgement" that COVID-19 could have been "man made" amid still ongoing investigations into the origin of the global pandemic.
Gove made the remarks to the government's official inquiry into the COVID-19 pandemic while defending the government's response to the virus, Politico reported.
The UK minister highlighted the virus's "novel" nature in explaining London's difficulties combating the pandemic, saying "We were not as well prepared as we should have been ideally, that is true. Again, it's in the nature of the fact that the virus was novel."
"And indeed, though I think this probably goes beyond the remit of the inquiry, there is a significant body of judgment that believes that the virus itself was man made -- and that presents its own set of challenges as well," he continued.
...
"It's an admission that came about three years too late," Senator Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said regarding Gove's claims. "You know, there is a mountain of evidence."
This has been hinted at before, but we did not previously have a direct allegation from an insider with first-hand knowledge.
Note that the headline reports the "bribe" allegation, but the body of the story fails to give further details about it.
Whistleblower claims CIA analysts bribed to change position on COVID lab leak theory
A whistleblower has come forward to claim CIA analysts who favoured the COVID-19 lab leak theory were bribed to change their position.
The bribe was made to take the focus off China and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Sky News host Sharri Markson has also revealed how a US intelligence official linked to the World Health Organisation was involved in downplaying the lab leak theory during President Joe Biden's probe into the virus origins.
The National Intelligence Council's Director for Global Health Security, Adrienne Keen, worked as an independent consultant for the WHO from 2016.
Former Acting Assistant Secretary of State Thomas DiNanno said that Ms Keene tried to push COVID-19 was a natural occurrence, rather than a lab leak.
"I had found out that apparently she was an outside advisor also to the World Health Agency -- they are a political agency, they are a UN agency," Mr DiNanno said.
"It's just not appropriate to do work for a foreign power and that would include in the United Nations."
I hope Sky News will provide more details.
The whole video below is worth watching, but skip to 3:00 for Fauci's (technical) superior stating that Fauci diverted attention away from the lab leak theory to protect his reputation.
