Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), sparked a mass walkout of NIH employees after suggesting that COVID-19 may have originated from a Wuhan lab and that NIH helped fund it. During a staff town hall meeting on Monday, Bhattacharya told NIH employees, “It’s possible that the pandemic was caused by research conducted by human beings, and it’s also possible that the NIH partly sponsored that research.” https://amgreatness.com/2025/05/21/nih-director-qu...

I thought this had already been uncovered a while ago but to even mention the possibility 5 yrs ago got you slammed as a racist because it was a Chinese lab?
And why would all those NIH people walk out in high dudgeon? Obviously not all of them ,and in fact very few of them know all the details of the inner working of a complex organization like the NIH.
