Not even one passing mention of gain of function research?
SciAm in 2021:

In two separate studies in 2011, scientists famously and controversially did just that with the H5N1 influenza virus, or “bird flu,” resulting in a version capable of airborne transmission among ferrets.

It doesn't meddle around, here's the first point in the summary:
> 1. The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.
Followed by:
" A lab-related incident involving gain-of-function research is most likely the origin of COVID-19."
I think the media should take a hard and deep look into their propaganda machine.
And people who believed the mainstream media's obvious lies [1] should take a hard and deep look into themselves and wonder if they're not actually gullible fools.
[1] I was here on HN saying it was no coincidence the pandemic started next to a research lab and I was far from the only one.
P.S: don't get me started on the mRNA (which I actually got due to social pressure and which I now deeply regret getting) "vaccine" which contains self-assembling nano-structures (that is factual and proven). That is not what we were sold by the media / peer pressure. Never again.

mRNA producing COVID spike proteins that the body then recognizes as foreign is exactly the mechanism of action for this class of vaccine, this was not hidden from anyone. It's not just "factual and proven"—as though there was some cover-up with major questions about it—it's literally the reason companies like Moderna and BioNTech exist.
Describing this mechanism as "self-assembling nano-structures" is technically true but sounds like scaretalk, which could lead one to question what exactly you thought you were getting.

I already cannot wait for the final report that will serve as a roadmap for congress!
For comparison here's the final official report on Covid-19 hosted at house.gov:

Super interesting article.
