The new Cold War over the origins of Covid-19

7am - Een podcast door Schwartz Media

From the moment the pandemic began, uncovering the origins of Covid-19 has been a fraught pursuit. Many different theories - some more viable than others - have flourished, including the hypothesis that Covid-19 was deliberately leaked from a lab in Wuhan.  The Wuhan lab leak theory has been given new prominence thanks to a controversial book written by Australian journalist and Sky News commentator Sharri Markson. Today, writer and contributor to The Saturday Paper Linda Jaivin, on the credibility of Markson’s claims, and how ideology has impacted our ability to get to the truth of how this pandemic first started. Guest: Contributor to The Saturday Paper, Linda Jaivin. Background reading: Wuhan: What the Markson book tells us in The Saturday Paper See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
