For months, as coronavirus brought the American way of life to a halt, our scientific establishment ignored the most basic question of all: Where did this illness come from?

Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight its one of the deepest paradoxes of the moment that we are living in all of a sudden. Nobody believes anything, and yet nobody is allowed to ask questions about anything. So, in a moment like this, its worth reminding ourselves that skepticism is the essence of science. Scientists challenge every assumption. They test every hypothesis. Scientists believe nothing until they can prove it. The scientific method doesnt just occur. Israel was questioning of everything. It requires that scientists who simply believe what they are told arent scientists at all. They are dangerous posers. Suddenly we have a lot of those in this country for months as a strange new disease brought the american way of life to a halt. Our scientific establishment ignored the most basic question of all. Where did this illness come from to this day we still dont know the answer to that
in place of verifiable facts are leaders accepting the story theyve been handed by propagandists in the chinese government. The virus came from a food market in the industrial city of Wuhan, where somehow it jumped from an animal, possibly a bat, coming to a human being thats. What the chinese government told our leaders and thats what our leaders told us thats what our leaders told us. There was never any evidence. It was true. They called the new virus, Covid short for coronavirus disease. They wanted the most generic possible name for it. They wanted to obscure any relationship between this new virus and the chinese government government. From its very first days. This pandemic was shrouded in lives. Scientists who asked too many question were swiftly punished. Some appear to have been killed. China is required to rewrite
history and claimed it was transparent all along just two weeks ago, the head of emergency at Wuhan Central Hospital, Dr Fife income, also went public. She has now disappeared, whereabouts, unknown, unknown, sat in the United States in twenty twenty. We have to play the tape from the Stronong his organization to get close to whats really happening in the world. In a few minutes, we will try to get even closer. We will speak to a chinese virologist, who is one of the first people in the world to study this new coronavirus early in the outbreak. What she found shocked her and she did not stay quiet about it. For that reason, in late April. For that reason, in late April she was forced to flee China and they came instead of from a
laboratory in Wuhan. The chinese government does not want you to know that and want you to know that, and neither does the american left. They refused and then thats a problem for the left in the country, thats why they are trying to shut them down. She is living testament to the fact that everything progresses Claiaim, that America is genocidal, totalitarian, systematically, racist and environmentally destructive China, actually is their ally. Is everything that we claim we are Tom. Cotton was one of the few american politicians who refuse to believe what the guy chinese government said. No expert here had thought to do. He looked at what specialists call a map notice, something Interestingng o that map the Wuhan wet market. Whwhere, we were told to coronavirus
originated, was very close to a chinese laboratory that worked on exotic virus research heres. What we do this virus did not originate in the Wuhan Animal market. Thats researching human infectious diseases we dont have evidence of this disease originated there, but because of Chinas duplicity and dishonesty from the beginning, we need to at least ask question. We need to at least ask the question. Senator cotton says what explained our media stooges. No questions allowed. The Chinese have spoken. Anyone who questions the chinese government is, by definition, deranged Tom cotton. A couple of days ago, spotted a conspiracy theory
ago, spotted a conspiracy theory that the Chinese made this fire that the Chinese made this fire is in the 1980s. I remember when the far left traffic in rumors about HIV, which hasnt been invented in CIA labs. Why are these people all of them with college and high paying and trtrying to get good with their new leaders, its scary ifif, you keep asking questions, will attack you as a mentally
ill and we will lie as we do it as they always do. They knew that Tom Cotton never claimed the virus was invented in a laboratory. He asked if it originated there and its not a crazy question, maybe an animal transmitted to researchers and then the chinese government to quarantine those researchers thats as reasonable as any other explanation, but to the other explanation, but to the news networks in this country. It was a little awkward when, in March, the Chinese Foreign Ministry accuse the United States of inventing coronavirus. In fact, it may be the: U Dot S army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan, be transparent and make the public your data, the spokesman, who brazenly said that went on to argue that anyone who suggested the virus had anything to do with China is extremely irresponsible, extremely irresponsible.
So the media says that China Virus Wee are tracing the origi of the virus. So ask yourself, as you watch that is that how innocent people talk? No its, not thats. How guilty people try to wipe away their crimes, but our media class to see a problem with that at all and more to the point they understood their marching orders. They argued the Chinese Communist Party, a group that puts minority populations in concentration camps was actually concentration. Camps was actually the victim of racism that snacking of his xenophobia and where he thinks the only
path now is where we declared virus public enemy number one at such a common thing, its incredibly dangerous and its problematic and its scary, and we just really want to call that out. Why do you keep calling it? The chinese virus is not racist at all. It comes from China thats. Why really of all the outrages committed by armed the class in the last four years? That may be the one it was the longest and it causes a machine that is essentially betraying your country right there. So there is a reason: CNN published a piece in January thats an example of trump administrations, lack of diversity. The same reason that the
the same reason that the Joe Biden campaign and meanwhile, meanwhile, the layers kept lying lying public radio boasted that half a dozezen scientists have research on how coronavirus is conducted it. There is virtually no chance that the new coronavirus was released as a result of a laboratory accident in China or anywhere else. So Tom cotton must be a mental patient. Strangely NPR forgot to mentioned the two releases of the Sars virus. No chance and it
never happens. They mostly ignored the twenty eighteen State Department report that concluded Chinas Wuhan Laboratory, a serious shortage of appropriate leaks, trained technicians and investigators needed to seemingly operated this high containment, app laboratory. No chance ignore the data, no chance ignore the data. Otherwise you are racist. The early coronavirus patients in Wuhan had no connection whatsoever to the met, wet market watch from the very beginning throughout December it was spreading and we now know it was spreading human to human, but the official line of the chinese government was this is all related to an animal market and once they closed the market,
it would all go away. Did they know differently? At that time? Absolutely we were seeing cases coming, I in the hospitals, but it had nothing whatsoever to do with the animal market. It had nothing whatsoever to do with the animal market. Oh okay. No chance the Associated Press meantime found that top chinese officials knew they were facing a pandemic for nearly a week in January, but didnt tell anyone. Instead, the chinese government hosted a banquet for tens of thousands of people and millions came in and they spread all around the world about the virus with them for them to blame the United States. They blame the United States for everything. This was all bad news, better, ignore it worth learning about, because we
dont want another pandemic. If we can prevent it, science is the only answer. Subverting science will make it much more likely that we get sick again, but even now, months later, only beginning to fully understand the levels of economic and cultural damage that this virus from China did to this country and to the world, and we are Onln just beginning to understand the extent to which our own politicians and our media class were complicit in that the only way to get to the truth.
