Summary

In this episode, Michael D. Brown dives into a bombshell Senate hearing where a 20-year CIA veteran, James Erdman the Third, testifies about the origins of COVID-19. Erdman reveals that the Central Intelligence Agency's scientific analysts concluded a lab leak was the most likely origin, contradicting the natural theory. He also alleges that Dr. Anthony Fauci intentionally inserted himself into the intel community's assessment process and that the CIA retaliated against analysts who resisted a lab leak conclusion. This explosive testimony sheds new light on the COVID-19 pandemic and its cover-up. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
