EcoHealth passed some of <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/05\/25\/fauci-admits-nih-funding-of-wuhan-lab-denies-gain-of-function\/\">that money <\/a>on to the lab in Wuhan, China. <\/p>\n<p>It was Daszak who organized the letter in The Lancet from February 2020 dismissing as \u201cmisinformation\u201d claims that the virus may have originated from the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/05\/22\/the-wuhan-lab-leak-theory-looks-more-credible-then-ever\/\">Wuhan Virology Lab<\/a>. The letter created the illusion of consensus, which Internet companies proceeded to enforce through censorship, and the media reinforced by constantly interviewing Daszak &shy;himself. <\/p>\n<p>There might be journalistic value in hearing from the Chernobyl plant director about all those clouds floating over Ukraine. But if he suggests the rash of mysterious sores and cancers were due to a faulty shipment of microwaves recently arrived in Pripyat, you\u2019d probably think he was engaged in a bit of \u201cmotivated reasoning.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Apparently not the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/06\/22\/ecohealth-alliance-head-daszak-leaves-un-backed-covid-origins-probe\/\">World Health Organization<\/a>, which invited Daszak to join their microwave hunt in Wuhan. <\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/06\/22\/ecohealth-alliance-head-daszak-leaves-un-backed-covid-origins-probe\/\"> <\/p>\n<h5>EcoHealth Alliance head Daszak leaves UN-backed COVID origins probe<\/h5>\n<p><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>In the last two days, Daszak has been removed from The Lancet\u2019s own UN-backed commission investigating <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/06\/04\/nonprofit-chief-ignored-questions-from-house-republicans-about-wuhan-lab\/\">COVID\u2019s origins<\/a>, though whether he removed himself or was fired remains unclear. <\/p>\n<p>It appears Daszak collaborated with <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/06\/21\/fauci-attacks-on-him-are-actually-criticizing-science\/\">Anthony Fauci<\/a> as well, based on a recently <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/06\/03\/fauci-emails-heres-what-we-learned\/\">released e-mail<\/a> in which he thanks the NIAID director for \u201cpublicly standing up and stating that the scientific evidence supports a natural origin for COVID-19 from a bat-to-human spillover, not a lab release.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>To top it all off, the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/06\/05\/trump-wanted-to-publicly-grill-fauci-on-wuhan-lab-funding\/\">Trump administration<\/a> canceled the EcoHealth grant in early 2020, a move that was characterized by \u201c60 Minutes\u201d and NPR as jeopardizing a possible COVID-19 cure. Both stories featured \u2014 guess who \u2014 Daszak. <\/p>\n<p>Anthony Fauci collaborated with Peter Daszak, newly released emails revealed.Pool\/Getty Images <\/p>\n<p>Now we learn that Google\u2019s charitable arm may have also funded EcoHealth. Steve Hilton suggested Monday on Fox that the Google funding might have something to do with why information about COVID was so ruthlessly policed on <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/05\/25\/facebook-trying-to-censor-covid-19-vaccine-skeptics-report\/\">social media platforms<\/a> and search engines. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll be sorting through the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/06\/15\/cuomo-nursing-home-order-caused-more-deaths-task-force\/\">many failures<\/a> of the COVID pandemic for years, failures by the most important institutions of society, from big tech to scientific research to public health to the media, but whatever blame rests on them, we can say Daszak helped break them all. <\/p>\n<p>What does it say about the state of our media and social media that one man can so wrongly shape a narrative? <\/p>\n<p><em>Arthur Bloom is online editor of The American Conservative.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; By Arthur Bloom June 22, 2021 | 8:07pm | Updated Enlarge Image The truth is starting to come out about Peter Daszak.Twitter MORE ON: CORONAVIRUS Woman used inmate names to in nearly $700k pandemic relief scheme Sen.
