    In a recent unguarded moment, a Senior ABC journalist was caught on a hot mic admitting that he, along with other senior journalists, didn't investigate the origins of COVID-19, dismissing it as too ideological. This revelation has sparked renewed interest in the Wuhan lab leak theory and raised serious questions about journalistic integrity and scientific transparency.

    The journalist's comments also included a dismissive remark about his female colleague Sharri Markson, who has been vocal about the possibility of COVID-19 originating from the Wuhan Lab. Markson's book, "What really happened in Wuhan," is a detailed investigation into the subject, where she interviewed hundreds of experts in various fields. Watch the hot mic moment here.

    Given that the Wuhan Institute of Virology has the largest collection of Coronaviruses in the world and is run by China's Army, the possibility of the virus originating from the lab cannot be dismissed. Early rejections of this theory have led to a loss of public trust in scientists, journalists, and public health officials.

    Recent revelations have exposed the five key scientists behind the 'Proximal Origin' paper, which has been downloaded 6 million times and referenced in over 3,000 media reports, as potentially fraudulent. Read about the scientific fraud here.

    Furthermore, newly discovered conversations between Fauci, Collins, and the Proximal Five have led to criminal charges being referred to the U.S. DOJ by Senator Paul. The charges relate to Fauci's denial that the NIH funds gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Lab. Read about the criminal referral here.

    The media must now reevaluate and correct the 3,000+ articles and newscasts that referenced the fraudulent paper. An ABC journalist's concession that he 'dismissed' the Wuhan lab leak theory further underscores the need for a more balanced and transparent approach to this critical issue. Watch the video here.

    In conclusion, the recent developments surrounding the Wuhan lab leak theory highlight the importance of unbiased investigation and open dialogue. The pursuit of truth must not be hindered by ideological biases or premature dismissals. It's time for a thorough and transparent reevaluation of the evidence, with the goal of restoring public trust in our institutions.
