Former NYT science writer exposes conflict of interest favoring Wuhan wet market theory

By Tatiana Prophet

Nicholas Wade has written for Science, Nature, The New York Times, and now the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. The origin of SARS-Cov-2 — a topic Wade pinpointed with the accuracy of a laser and the density of a schematic — is a perfect fit for the Bulletin, which was founded after Hiroshima and Nagasaki to monitor existential threats to humanity and the planet.

In his tome, “The origin of COVID: Did people or nature open Pandora’s box at Wuhan?” Wade demonstrated that the “wet market” theory has still not been proven, and that the possibility that SARS2 instead escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology is not a conspiracy theory — as asserted vigorously during the last 18 months — but a possible result of the deliberate enhancement of a bat coronavirus in the very same city.. See “Ignore the conspiracy theories: scientists know Covid-19 wasn't created in a lab,” by Peter Daszak, president of Eco Health Alliance.
