Even now, pages resembling scholarly work end up doing nothing more than citing anti-Trump media as trusted primary sources. Thus was a single view cast in stone as the only legitimate one.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, Big Tech helped to seal the bubble by blocking articles that raised other possibilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But facts are stubborn and created a fundamental problem: the certainty of animal-to-human transmission remained unconfirmed despite thousands of tests.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A March article in MIT <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technology<\/a> Review reported, \u201cMore than a year after COVID-19 began, no food animal has been identified as a reservoir for the pandemic virus.\u201d It added that China had tested \u201ctens of thousands of animals, including pigs, goats, and geese . . .\u201d without finding the culprit, meaning the pandemic \u201cremains an unsolved mystery.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is not what Biden wanted and he clearly had no interest in keeping the case open.

He denied the money was used to study \u201cgain of function\u201d research, which could manipulate a virus for transmission or make it more virulent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although there is still much to learn about the most lethal pandemic in a century, we must wait to see whether Biden is serious about getting the truth or just going through the motions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The suspicion is warranted because, when it comes to China, Biden is severely compromised. He has been identified as \u201cthe big guy\u201d scheduled to get a secret 10 percent cut of a deal cooked up by son Hunter Biden to work with a Chinese energy giant, and the Biden family received at least $11 million for work done while Joe was vice-president.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As I wrote Sunday, China knows everything about the deal, including Joe\u2019s planned involvement, but Americans are largely in the dark.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Keep that history in mind.
