Not that there's much doubt there, but Sky News Australia is doing yeoman's work:

https://twitter.com/RWMaloneMD/status/172992792444...

Dr. Kadlec, The former Assist. Sec. for Preparedness and Response at HHS says Dr Fauci, Dr. Collins and himself decided to divert attention away from the lab leak theory because they were afraid of what would be revealed, as well as their guilt and the public response. Listen carefully.

The part with Kadlec starts about a minute in.
What discussions did you have with Dr. Anthony Fauci and others about deliberately deciding to turn down the temperature of a lab leak?

Ans:
...what we were trying to do was make sure politically that people wouldn't make accusations or allegations but quite honestly what happened was the exact opposite...


Fauci was worried about protecting his own reputation.

Dope1: Not that there's much doubt there, but Sky News Australia is doing yeoman's work:

Sky News is the Australian version of Fox News. And there sure was a ton of editing in that video. Fauci is scheduled to appear before the House as part of Republicans' yearslong -- evidently never ending -- investigation into the origins of COVID-19, so let's see what Fauci has to say then.

BTW, your quotes are wrong.



Media Bias Fact Check: Overall, we rate Sky News Australia Right-Biased based on story selection and editorial positions that mostly favor the right. We also rate them borderline Questionable and Mixed for factual reporting due to several failed fact checks, unproven claims, and the promotion of conspiracy theories and misinformation.

And oh, yeah:
https://www.skynews.com.au/opinion/sharri-markson/...

(No, I don't care what anyone says about Sky News. 2+2=4 no matter who is saying it).
lib math is, of course, different.

Anyway:
A whistleblower has come forward to claim CIA analysts who favoured the COVID-19 lab leak theory were bribed to change their position.

The bribe was made to take the focus off China and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Sky News host Sharri Markson has also revealed how a US intelligence official linked to the World Health Organisation was involved in downplaying the lab leak theory during President Joe Biden’s probe into the virus origins.


This would fit with Fauci's MO: We know he got his buddies to publish a bogus paper on C-19.

Malone's twitter? LOL.

C'mon man.... you gotta stop snoring the hydroxychloroquine and mainlining Ivermectin.

On the other hand, you have no credibility to lose. So, carry on.

Fauci has a very good reputation in the real world; something the conspiracy pushers such as yourself never have to worry about.

Constantly referring to oneself in the plural; another symptom of a brain turning to swiss cheese.
It's a cryin' shame.

Dope - it's well known not to pay attention to Sky News unless you want to waste your time on conspiracy theories.

Didn't say that, just the odds are in favor of a natural origin outside the lab.

"The controversial theory first emerged early on in the pandemic, and was promoted by then-US President Donald Trump. Some even suggested it could have been engineered as a possible biological weapon."

The bioweapon definitely is. But Sky News is chock full of stuff I don't want to spend time on.

So you say that Sky News is a conspiracy theory outfit, but you’re not willing to say that the lab leak theory is.

Okay.

Btw, the odds aren’t in favor of a natural source. Unless you count the bat that the Wuhan lab started with.

No. That is why I said the odds are not in favor of lab leak. And, yes, you can go to your non-science sources even within the government and find support for lab leak, but that's not the scientific view - which is likely natural.

Overall, we rate Sky News Australia Right-Biased based on story selection and editorial positions that mostly favor the right. We also rate them borderline Questionable and Mixed for factual reporting due to several failed fact checks, unproven claims, and the promotion of conspiracy theories and misinformation.

Sky News Australia is currently operated by Australian News Channel Pty Ltd (ANC), a subsidiary of News Corp Australia, a part of News Corp and owned by Rupert Murdoch.


In review, Sky News Australia publishes news with story selection that favors the center-right Morrison Government such as this: “Morrison ‘unbelievably good’ at handling coronavirus crisis.” They also cover critical opposition voices: “Morrison government is ‘only good at manufacturing slogans.’ Further, they promote conspiracy theories regarding coronavirus and climate change and do not report favorably on immigration. When covering world news about the USA, they cover the Trump administration favorably “President Trump has ‘huge win’ following powerful endorsement.”

I think this supports my view.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/21/health/coronavirus-...
The source I like is behind a paywall - blocked.

In our July, 2022, Editorial—entitled Searching for SARS-CoV-2 origins: the saga continues—we wrote: “To discover the source of an outbreak we must work forward without preconceptions, following wherever the evidence leads”. Last month, several news outlets reported that two US agencies investigating the origins of SARS-CoV-2, the Energy Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), had information suggesting that the COVID-19 pandemic had resulted from a laboratory leak. With current genome editing technology it is easy to manipulate a virus in a laboratory, but it is much easier to manipulate public opinion with political language.

This is what I think happens Dope. People get manipulated. So the odds are in the natural origins favor, except, of course, you are a Sky or Fox News fan. Then it's the opposite.
