In that post, we asked questions about Zhou Peng, one of China&#8217;s top virology and immunology experts who works at China&#8217;s top-rated biohazard lab, the Wuhan Institute of Virology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b792-20bd8d8fa069.storage.googleapis.com\/s3fs-public\/inline-images\/wu.png\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Wuhan Institute of Virology<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the idea of their ever-so-beloved government covering up something from them or not having their best interest in mind\u00a0was so disturbing the to snowflakes at\u00a0Twitter, they lashed out by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/zerohedge-suspended-twitter\">banning Zero Hedge<\/a>\u00a0from their platform with little color around why they took such drastic action. Their ban followed a BuzzFeed article claiming we had &#8220;doxed&#8221; the scientist involved by asking questions and posting the same information listed publicly on his website.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ban was so questionable, it sent shockwaves across the mainstream media, even making it as far as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/twitter-bans-zero-hedge-coronavirus-conspiracy-theory\/\">CBS<\/a>&nbsp;National News, who stated:&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;The financial website Zero Hedge is now barred from Twitter after publishing an article relaying a conspiracy theory that a Chinese scientist might be to blame for the coronavirus outbreak.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Maybe This Was Man Made&#8221; &#8211; CNBC Questions Coronavirus Origins As ZeroHedge Remains Banned On Twitter In keeping with our storied history of presenting readers with plausible theories and allowing them to make their own decisions&nbsp;often times weeks, months or years in advance of the mainstream media figuring them out and\/or having the courage to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[16271,74,964,28817,29011,28842,4318,29013],"class_list":["post-51138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-environment","tag-biolab","tag-bioweapon","tag-cnbc","tag-coronavirus","tag-covid-19","tag-wuhan","tag-zerohedge","tag-zhou-peng"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=51138"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51138\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51139,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51138\/revisions\/51139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=51138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=51138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=51138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
