David Strom writes for HotAir.com about disturbing revelations in the search for truth about COVID-19’s origins.

Anthony Fauci, through a Harvard University intermediary, helped funnel money from the Chinese property company Evergrande to Harvard in February 2020. And that contribution was, quite surprisingly, part of a backdoor effort on the part of the Chinese to communicate with and influence Fauci and America’s COVID response. …

… Normally, you would expect public health officials from different countries, faced with preventing or fighting a worldwide pandemic, would communicate directly with each other. They certainly wouldn’t use a property developer whose connection to public health is as clear as mud–the only connection is that Chinese Public Health officials and Evergrande are both subservient to the Chinese Communist Party–to sit down with Harvard administrators not involved in public health to communicate with Anthony Fauci. 

It kinda stands out, doesn’t it? As does the fact that Evergrande committed huge sums of money to Harvard after that meeting. …

… As we all know, what needed to be done is grasp control over the COVID narrative and shape it in such a way that Fauci and his minions were fully exonerated from the coming accusation that the NIAID, his agency, helped fund the creation of a virus that would soon kill tens of millions, upend the lives of billions, throw the world economy into a tailspin, and erode the civil rights of Americans. 

Fauci became the mastermind of one of the greatest cover-ups in world history, and colluded with governments around the world to do so, including the Chinese Communist Party–his main co-conspirator. …

… Money makes the world go around, they say, and money from China, with the blessing from the highest levels of the US public health establishment, bought the fealty of Harvard and other academic institutions. They happily participated in a massive cover-up and tried to destroy the careers of respected and unusually honest scientists. 

This is what comes from an entrenched establishment.
