Between 13 and 17 million deaths from COVID, or one in every 500 people. That’s the latest estimate from the WHO, making COVID the most devastating pandemic since the Spanish flu.
Yet, five years later, its origin remains a mystery. No one can explain precisely where the virus originated from or how it spread so rapidly and from the onset, superpowers that could help bring the truth to light – China and the U.S. – seem to have sought to conceal it. At best, they seek to distract from the subject matter. At worst, they lie. The topic has even become the focus of a diplomatic war between Beijing and Washington: fabricated evidence, false testimony, falsified or concealed scientific research… Anything goes.
