"If we had not funded the lab, 100% of Americans would say this is obvious. This is a no brainer."

Dr Marty Makary talking about it being a no brainer that covid came from the lab, at the "Preparing For the Future By Learning From the Past: Examining COVID Policy Decisions" Select Subcommittee Roundtable on February 28, 2023.

There's some pretty damning stuff said. Here is BIG excerpt:

"The two top virologists in the United States told Doctor Fauci on his emergency call in January of 2020 when he was scrambling soon after learning that the NIH was funding the lab that it was likely from the lab. Both scientists changed their tunes days later in the media. And then both scientists received $9 million subsequent in funding from the NIH."

"The doctors initially were arrested and forced to sign non-disclosure gag documents. The lab reports have been destroyed"

There's a big ponderable from the Congresswoman right at the end.

Full Dialogue
00:00 My next question is in a recent Energy and Commerce oversight hearing, I asked the NIH director about the NIH's gross negligence in monitoring the Eco Health Alliance grant and Sub grant at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:17 After admitting that we might not have all of the information and research reports from the WIV and Eco health, he insisted that he was sure
00:28 That the coronavirus research that the US taxpayer dollars funded at WIV was completely unrelated to SARS COVID 2, and I was wondering if any of the three of you had any thoughts on that?Thank you, congresswoman.
00:47 The reason this is even an issue is that it's embarrassing
00:51 we funded the lab.
00:52 If we had not funded the lab, 100% of Americans would say this is obvious. This is a no brainer. The epicentre of the world is 5 miles from one of the only high level virology labs in China. The doctors initially were arrested and forced to sign non-disclosure gag documents. The lab reports have been destroyed, they've not been turned over. The sequences reported from the lab
01:18 to the NIH database were deleted by a request from Chinese scientists that called over early on and said delete those sequences we put in the database and two leading virologists, maybe the two
01:33 top virologists in the United States.
01:36 Doctor Michael Farzan from Scripps and Doctor Robert Gary from Tulane told Doctor Fauci on his emergency call in January of 2020 when he was scrambling soon after learning that the NIH was funding the lab.
01:49 They both said that it was likely from the lab.
01:53 Both scientists changed their tunes days later in the media.
01:59 And then both scientists received $9 million subsequent in funding from the NIH.
02:04 It's a no brainer that it came from the lab.
02:06 I mean, at this point it's impossible to acquire anymore information.
02:11 And if you did, it would only be affirmative.
02:13 So when I asked the and NIH director about this, and he said there's no way that it could have been a coronavirus too, that was being funded from the lab and he said it's like comparing a human to a cow because of the sequence.
02:29 But then I asked.
02:30 Well, how do you know that? Because we didn't get the data from China.
02:35 So do you….
02:36 do you understand what I'm trying to say? Like we didn't get the data.
02:39 So how does he know that it it's not coronavirus too?
02:43 There's no way he could have known.
02:45 There's no way he could have known the answer to that question since the Chinese lab didn't release the data.
02:49 Thank you.
