“COVID-19 Virus Was Created In An AMERICAN Lab!” – Jeffrey Sachs

from The Jimmy Dore Show · host Wase History Club

Columbia economics professor Jeffrey Sachs is now saying he is “99% sure” that the University of North Carolina (UNC) conducted extensive gain of function research beginning in 2015 and that this research led to the development of COVID-19. Sachs says he is concerned about unregulated research and the lack of global governance for handling dangerous pathogens. This systemic issue underscores the plausibility of an accidental release from a U.S. lab like UNC. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the compelling evidence supporting the conclusion that COVID came from Ralph Baric’s research at UNC. Plus segments on Trump wiping out any DOGE savings with increased military spending and how U.S. tariffs are driving African countries to pursue closer ties with China and India. Also featuring Mike MacRae, Moussa Ibrahim and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Alec Baldwin!
