Her research is reasonably well balanced and I appreciate her commitment to free speech. However, some of her arguments regarding scientific funding and also her errors that she has made over some of the science do tarnish and otherwise reasonable hypothesis. They shouldn’t be considered the finitive but should be considered as part of the argument. Recommended. If you read one book about SARS-CoV-2; its source, the politics around it, the money, its implications, then this really must be that book. The events described in this book are documented and cross-referenced. As for the technical aspects, the science is excellent at a level the average reader may almost grasp on the first pass, with references to scientific publications for those interested in even deeper understanding. It gives references to Shi Zhengli’s very well documented gain-of-function research, including papers co-authored with Peter Daszak, who also served as a funding conduit from NIAID. It covers the Communist Party’s behavior with the French who built the lab, toward the wider scientific community, toward unelected people in positions of great power in the US government. It shows Daszak’s connections to Anthony Fauci, as in the frantic e-mails concerning the “conspiracy theory” cover story driven by both men. It documents Daszak’s misdirection through the use of The Lancet in a letter signed by 27 ostensibly knowledgeable scientists with no “conflict of interest”, who weren’t, and the subsequent withdrawal of that letter by all concerned. It also names names of the broad range of interests and individuals who are carrying out and fund research such as gain of function, as well as actual building from scratch viruses for which human T-Cell memory no longer exists, such as the 1918 Spanish Flu. The politico-scientific intrigue is exquisite. So finally, it leaves one with some sense of the damage this politico-scientific emergency has done to national security from a US public policy perspective, a Chinese Communist Party perspective, and from a Chinese public perspective. One thing that seems to be made clear is that the public is the group that has suffered from this area of research and that, since the research has been funded for decades and is unlikely to stop, the public will continue to suffer. After reading this well-documented and organized book you will be very well versed in a wide range of facts relating to what really happened in Wuhan, as well as their implications. The power struggles, science research, public complacency and moneyed interests described, taken together give a novel view of the future often reserved only for science fiction readers. But this is not fiction.
Perversely, from the viewpoint of those who endorse Markson’s suspicions, the lesson of the book is that the world’s ideological divides mustn’t stop scientists working together against the frightening possibilities of viruses. As for the origins of Covid-19, the title of Markson’s book needs a question mark attached.
Walkley Award-winning journalist, Sharri Markson is the Investigations Editor at The Australian and host of prime-time show Sharri on Sky News Australia. The origins of Covid-19 are shrouded in mystery. Scientists and government officials insisted, for a year and a half, that the virus had a natural origin, ridiculing anyone who dared contradict this view. Tech giants swept the internet, censoring and silencing debate in the most extreme fashion. Yet it is undeniable that a secretive facility in Wuhan was immersed in genetically manipulating bat-coronaviruses in perilous experiments. And as soon as the news of an outbreak in Wuhan leaked, the Chinese military took control and gagged all laboratory insiders. Part-thriller, part-expose, What Really Happened in Wuhan is a ground-breaking investigation from leading journalist Sharri Markson into the origins of Covid-19, the cover-ups, the conspiracies and the classified research. It features never-before-seen primary documents exposing China's concealment of the virus, fresh interviews with whistleblower doctors in Wuhan and crucial eyewitness accounts that dismantle what we thought we knew about when the outbreak hit. With unprecedented access to Washington insiders, Markson takes you inside the White House, with senior Trump lieutenants revealing first-hand accounts of fiery Oval Office clashes and new stories of compromised government advisors and censored scientists. Bravely reported and chillingly laid out, Markson brings to light the stories of the pandemic from the people on the ground: the scientists and national security officials who raised uncomfortable truths and were labelled conspiracy theorists, until government agencies began to suspect they might have been right all along. These brave individuals persisted through bruising battles and played a crucial role in investigating the origins of Covid-19 to finally, in this book, bring us closer to the truth of what really happened in Wuhan.

These first three chapters are fascinating reading. Highly informative (and disturbing) information.
