The Wuhan lab lie: “Weapons of mass destruction” redux
In an uncanny instance of history repeating itself, the script used to justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq based on false claims about “weapons of mass destruction” is being used to promote the United States’ aggressive military buildup against China.
On Sunday, the Wall Street Journal published an article entitled, “Lab Leak Most Likely Origin of Covid-19 Pandemic, Energy Department Now Says,” which was used to launch a campaign by the entire US media to legitimize the false claim that COVID-19 was a man-made virus created at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology.
None of the media coverage noted the fact that the person who wrote the Wall Street Journal’s report, Michael R. Gordon, is the most notorious liar in the American media,whose fabrications were so enormous that even his former employers at the New York Times had to repeatedly distance themselves from him.
