Publisher Description
Walkley Award-winning journalist, Sharri Markson is the Investigations Editor at The Australian and host of prime-time show Sharri on Sky News Australia.
The origins of Covid-19 are shrouded in mystery. Scientists and government officials insisted, for a year and a half, that the virus had a natural origin, ridiculing anyone who dared contradict this view. Tech giants swept the internet, censoring and silencing debate in the most extreme fashion. Yet it is undeniable that a secretive facility in Wuhan was immersed in genetically manipulating bat-coronaviruses in perilous experiments. And as soon as the news of an outbreak in Wuhan leaked, the Chinese military took control and gagged all laboratory insiders.
Part-thriller, part-expose, What Really Happened in Wuhan is a ground-breaking investigation from leading journalist Sharri Markson into the origins of Covid-19, the cover-ups, the conspiracies and the classified research. It features never-before-seen primary documents exposing China's concealment of the virus, fresh interviews with whistleblower doctors in Wuhan and crucial eyewitness accounts that dismantle what we thought we knew about when the outbreak hit.
With unprecedented access to Washington insiders, Markson takes you inside the White House, with senior Trump lieutenants revealing first-hand accounts of fiery Oval Office clashes and new stories of compromised government advisors and censored scientists.
Bravely reported and chillingly laid out, Markson brings to light the stories of the pandemic from the people on the ground: the scientists and national security officials who raised uncomfortable truths and were labelled conspiracy theorists, until government agencies began to suspect they might have been right all along. These brave individuals persisted through bruising battles and played a crucial role in investigating the origins of Covid-19 to finally, in this book, bring us closer to the truth of what really happened in Wuhan.
Customer Reviews
Great journalistic research of the origin of COVID 19
It changed my opinion on the origins of Covid19.
Spectacularly delusional and miscalculated
I find it difficult to understand that someone is able to research a topic, and then cherry pick the importance of data and other information presented in such a way as to adopt a completely erroneous and spurious conclusion.
This book has shown me how this is possible, and indeed, inevitable, to those wishing to conflate conspiracy theories, which ultimately have their origin quite firmly grounded in racism and other prejudice.
There are stories presented that do not support the conclusions claimed by the author, in fact, many of the tales, when coupled with other publicly available and well verified material, support the opposite conclusions.
In my opinion, there is around as much veracity in this book as there is in the Christian bible.
It was an interesting read, but by no mens compelling, such is the nature of the many logic holes left open by the author.
If you have been listening to the accompanying podcast, and am of similar opinion, I’m sure you have spent some time wondering in amazement at the interviewing style, but may also rest easy knowing that this is the style of information collection that leads to the publication of this volume of abstract fiction.
But then, I ain’t ‘woke’, so take my review with whatever value you decide it is worth.
