More than 28million were killed. The global economy was wrecked by two years of lockdown. Incalculable damage was done to health, education and liberty. The Covid-19 pandemic was the deadliest and most destructive disaster of our lifetimes, and yet there is still no official explanation for its cause. Here, Matt Ridley – co-author of Viral: The Search for the Origin of Covid-19 – talks to spiked about why a lab leak is almost certainly to blame for the pandemic. He explains why it’s no coincidence that the virus emerged from Wuhan, China. And he reveals what top scientists like Anthony Fauci knew in 2020, but tried to keep suppressed.
