Investigating the Origin of COVID-19 featuring Jeffrey Sachs

Jeffrey Sachs, appointed Chair of the Lancet COVID-19 Commission, oversaw 11 different Task Forces investigating various aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic. One Task Force was responsible for investigating the origin of COVID-19. On August 20th, Sachs was interviewed on the DEFENDER Podcast and shared his remarkable experiences with that Task Force.

He revealed widespread deception among scientists on that Task Force, who concealed conflicts of interest and connections to dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology... and why he ultimately shut down that Task Force. Most worrisome, the NIH, NIAID and many scientists supported by them, have been impeding a serious investigation of the origin of COVID-19 and misdirecting public attention away from risky gain-of-function research that may have led to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sachs does a scathing takedown of the junk science published in reputable scientific journals that has been used to support the false narrative that “the science shows COVID-19 was the result of a natural spillover.” Professor Sachs explains why, after two years studying SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic, he believes it is more likely than not that the virus was manipulated in the lab and escaped.

Today, we perform a warm autopsy on that extraordinary interview.
