Read by Jari Kuikanmäki
A TRUE CRIME INVESTIGATION INTO THE COVER-UP OF THE CENTURY In January 2020, as reports of a mysterious new virus emerged from Wuhan, China, the world was told that it had likely jumped from animals to humans at the Huanan Seafood Market. Journalist Jari Kuikanmäki was among the first to investigate a far more troubling possibility: that the virus may have originated inside a laboratory. What began as a breaking news story turned into a six-year global investigation-uncovering a tangled web of hidden military-linked research, conflicts of interest among leading scientists, the suppression of inconvenient findings, and institutional failures on both sides of the Pacific. How deep was the U.S. government's involvement in the dangerous research conducted in Wuhan? Why were early warnings about a possible lab origin ignored or dismissed? And how was the truth about the pandemic's origins systematically concealed from the public? Meticulously researched and backed by hundreds of sources, Origins of Coronavirus is a gripping blend of investigative journalism, scientific analysis, and political thriller that pieces together one of the most consequential stories of our time
