This week, I've taken that same instinct — what some would call a contrarian reflex — and pointed it in a new direction: one that hits close to home.
I've published an op-ed in the Carolina Journal on the subject of UNC-Chapel Hill's virology program, and the deeply troubling evidence that it played a central role in creating the SARS-CoV-2 virus that killed over 20 million people globally.
Yes, you read that right. And no, it's not hyperbole.
This isn't just speculation. Thanks to court-ordered documents pried loose by the nonprofit watchdog US Right to Know, we now know that Ralph Baric's lab at UNC:
- Engineered novel SARS-related coronaviruses in partnership with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
- Created these viruses with enhanced pandemic potential — on purpose.
- Proposed misleading the U.S. government about where the research would be conducted — claiming Chapel Hill, but planning Wuhan.
- Delivered both the blueprint and the lab-grown mice with humanized lungs needed to bring these viruses to life.
