Through the unrelenting work of a global grassroots network of internet detectives, Matt Ridley in Spiked Online (and, with scientist Alina Chan, in the updated version of their book Viral) provides the latest news on the unofficial quest for the origins of Covid-19 (since China’s Communist government has corrupted all official inquiries). Their conclusion won’t surprise conservatives: the evidence against the Wuhan Institute of Virology just grows and grows.

A Man Who’d Do Anything to Evade the Truth
Spiked’s Matt Ridley details Anthony Fauci’s “public-sector version of insider trading.” Subpoenaed by the U.S. Senate to “discuss” the origin of Covid-19, the longest-serving and highest-paid U.S. bureaucrat instead invoked the Fifth Amendment (protecting against self-incrimination) some 111 times. Strange; he’d been pardoned by President Joe Biden. Nevertheless, it’s clear Fauci lied to the American people about nearly everything – starting with Covid’s true origins in the Wuhan lab. Further, his bizarre diary (saved to a government computer) details his “nauseating narcissism and gobsmacking greed,” says Ridley, and shows he cared more about his own fame than about ailing Americans.
