Nicholas Wade has written numerous books and articles on science. As the Science Editor for the New York Times (1990 to 1996) he possesses the skills necessary to sift through complicated ideas and arrive at the truth. When the COVID-19 (aka SARS-CoV-2) pandemic began, he soon began to suspect there was an unspoken truth about the origin of the virus. He found not only was there evidence this virus was not of natural origin, but there was a deliberate effort to keep such an idea from becoming part of the mainstream discourse.
