> The problem was that the epidemic started in the middle of the US election campaign. At some point the Trump team started to support the lab leak theory. And then it became political; Biden supporters started framing them as conspiracy theorists, anybody who dared to support the leak theory was labeled as a Trump supporter etc.
You hit the nail on the head.
> In China some people must have been amazed how the US was arranging such a thorough cover-up all by themselves.
Exactly. Even in India we were amazed by the cover-up. I am pretty sure every Asian country knew it was a cover-up. The very first reports on Coronavirus I came across was not even in the media. It was on a Korean Youtuber who posted regular video updates on the virus leak in China even before the news was picked up in the West. He was warning how CCP was arresting scientists who put out information about the virus and even sharing videos of doctors who had recorded themselves warning about the virus itself (one of the first few who treated patients of the virus and fell sick themselves). I can't, for the life of me, find that channel on Youtube anymore. But yeah there was, and still is, a lot of censorship aided and abetted by Big Tech.

The death of the doctor was widely reported on throughout the pandemic[0][1][2].

- shri_krishna 3y agoI am talking about before the mainstream media took it seriously (few days before that video of the doctor became viral). If I could find the Korean Youtuber I would have linked it here. Can't remember the name. The other prolific one who was giving daily updates was "Koreana Jones". Was following these two Youtubers for updates.
