## Resource

Victor Davis Hanson interviews Dr. Steven Quay, one of America’s top scientists and inventors, on his explosive new book “The Code as Witness: How the Covid Genome Reveals its Lab Origins and How to Prevent Future Outbreaks.” Dr. Quay presents clear genetic evidence that COVID-19 was engineered in the Wuhan lab, not a natural spillover from bats or pangolins. From the virus’ own “fingerprints” in the genome to China’s suspicious early actions, this hard-hitting conversation reveals what really happened in 2019 and why dangerous gain-of-function research continues to threaten the world.
