Sharyl Attkisson investigates Covid-19 origins
- Numerous scientific insiders are signing onto the “lab origin” theory for Covid-19 and a link to controversial research funded by your tax dollars.
- High profile health figures who have worked to “debunk” lab origin questions are linked to funding and vaccine research partnerships with China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
- The U.S.- Chinese research involved genetically engineering bat coronavirus to make it infect human airway cells in mice, in order to invent vaccines and other therapeutics.
- U.S. taxpayer money supported the controversial vaccine research with Chinese scientists through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Some support came from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), led by Dr. Anthony Fauci.

When the former head of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Dr. Robert Redfield, recently said Covid-19 likely leaked from a Chinese research lab, news headlines called it “shocking.”
Dr. Robert Redfield on CNN: “I still think the most likely etiology of this pathogen in Wuhan was from a laboratory— you know, escaped.”
That was followed by a flurry of media reports ridiculing the notion; insisting that Covid-19 probably jumped from bats to people through an unexplained, natural route. But there’s new information that hasn’t been widely reported. A sizable segment of the research community has formed the same opinion as Dr. Redfield: that Covid-19 leaked from experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.
Jamie Metzl, World Health Organization International Advisory Committee on Human Genome Editing: “There are scientists all around the world who have told me that they believe the most likely origin of COVID-19, of the pandemic, is an accidental lab leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”
Jamie Metzl is a member of the World Health Organization International Advisory Committee on Human Genome Editing.
Additional info: About Jamie Metzl: Metzl served as Deputy Staff Director of the Foreign Relations Committee under then-Sen. Joe Biden (2001-2003); on the National Security Council (1997-99); and at the State Department (1999-01) under President Bill Clinton.
Sharyl (to Metzl): “What have you been told, and what have you found about scientists who feel like they can’t step forward?”
Metzl: “Many of these people are afraid to step forward. They’ve called it career suicide, because there are so many contentious issues, because the stakes are so high. Because the Chinese government, in collaboration, or conjunction, or maybe not even association, but with some very high-level and prominent scientists have put forward this story that I think is wrong.”
Two scientists with knowledge of the matter told me the U.S. government conducted genome sequencing almost immediately in the pandemic. Among other things, they say Covid-19 shows clear hallmarks of man’s intervention.
French virologist Luc Montagnier, a Nobel Prize recipient, arrived at the same conclusion a year ago. He says Covid-19’s genetics reveal “manipulation.” “Someone added sequences,” he said. “It’s the work of professionals, of molecular biologists…a very meticulous work.”
Additional info: Analysis saying Covid-19 is lab-derived: Dr. Stephen Quay, M.D., PhD., CEO of Atossa Therapeutics conducted a Bayesian analysis that he says concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that Covid-19 is lab-derived.
Genetic analysis alone isn’t 100% conclusive, because results must be compared to viruses from the Wuhan lab. And sources confirm: “We never got the sample from China.”
But scientists who spoke with me say genome sequencing, coupled with what’s known about research conducted by a U.S.-Chinese partnership, leaves them with little doubt that Covid-19 is a product of experiments.
The scientists I talked to don’t want to be quoted by name for fear of repercussions in today’s politically-charged environment. They’re highly critical that a U.S. research collaboration was allowed with China— a communist nation that has an active bioweapons program and, is arguably, our biggest world competitor and foe.
Scientists from the U.S. and the Wuhan lab joined up on experiments that involved making bat coronavirus more infectious, to try to invent a vaccine.
It’s called “gain of function” research, and it’s controversial because it could create a lethal virus that escapes and causes a pandemic. So risky, the U.S. temporarily halted such studies in 2014.
But an exception was made. The “gain of function” research underway by the U.S. and Wuhan scientists was “reviewed and approved for continued study by [the National Institutes of Health]” or “NIH.”
NIH didn’t only approve the research, it paid for it with six grants of tax dollars, including from the “National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,” led by Dr. Anthony Fauci. See grant numbers in image below:
More taxpayer money from Fauci’s institute and the U.S. Agency for International Development was funneled to the coronavirus research with China through EcoHealth Alliance, a New York based nonprofit led by Peter Daszak, a zoologist who specializes in viruses transmitted from animals to people.
Additional info: EcoHealth Alliance: EcoHealth Alliance describes its mission as: “Protecting global health by preventing the outbreak of emerging diseases.” According to tax records, the nonprofit brought in $18.5 million in 2018, almost entirely from U.S. government agencies. Its biggest single, reported expense was about $5.43 million in grants to foreign governments. About 1/3 of that total, $6.3 million, was spent on salaries and other employee-related costs.
EcoHealth Alliances’ Top 5 contributors in 2018
- $11.5 million: from U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)
- $2.5 million: from U.S. Dept. of Defense
- $601,474: from U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS)
- $783,412: from U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS)
- $900,000: from Johnson and Johnson
Additional info: Johnson and Johnson: Vaccine maker Johnson and Johnson did not reply to multiple requests for information on its contribution to EcoHealth Alliance.
Also working on the research, Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina. His work centered on genetically manipulating coronavirus in part to allow for “rapid and rational development…[of]…vaccines and therapeutics.”
Additional info: Vaccine tests: Baric’s 2015 NIH-funded Gain of Function study with the lead virologist from China’s WIV involved infecting mice with genetically modified bat coronavirus and testing a “live-attenuated virus vaccination” on them: “For vaccination, young and aged mice were vaccinated by footpad injection…then boosted with the same regimen 22 d later and challenged 21 d thereafter…All experiments were conducted contrasting two experimental groups (either two viruses, or vaccinated and unvaccinated cohorts).”
Together, they teamed up with the renowned Chinese virologist nicknamed “bat woman,” at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Shi Zhingli. They engineered genetic hybrids of bat coronaviruses, successfully getting them to infect human airway cells grafted in mice.
Additional info: China-U.S. research genetically-maniuplated bat coronavirus to make it infect human airway cells: “…plasmids containing wild-type, chimeric SARS-CoV and SHC014-CoV genome fragments were amplified, excised, ligated and purified. In vitro transcription reactions were then preformed to synthesize full-length genomic RNA, which was transfected into Vero E6 cells …Synthetic construction of chimeric mutant and full-length SHC014-CoV was approved by the University of North Carolina Institutional Biosafety Committee and the Dual Use Research of Concern committee.”
Peter Daszak, EcoHealth Alliance: “You can manipulate them in the lab pretty easily…”
Daszak talked about the collaboration in this interview [Virology Today] just before the Covid-19 outbreak. He said the team’s research was designed to stop coronavirus from crossing into people, and to help develop a vaccine for the resulting illness: SARS.
Daszak: “The logical progression for vaccines is, if you’re going to develop a vaccine for SARS, people are going to use Pandemic SARS, but let’s try to insert some of these related…and get a better vaccine.”
Additional info: From Peter Daszak Virology Today interview: In the interview published online on Dec. 9, 2019, EcoHealth Alliance’s Daszak discussed testing of modified coronaviruses on human cells and humanized mice in the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). EcoHealth Alliance, which receives most of its funding from U.S. federal agencies, has provided funds for bat coronavirus research with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Phase 1 of a study Daszak coordinated with Shi Zhengli at WIV to catalog bat coronaviruses in China is reported to have taken place from 2014 to 2019.
As far back as 2015, numerous independent scientists objected to the “gain of function” research with China. In a published paper, a virologist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris (Simon Wain-Hobson) noted the research had produced an engineered novel coronavirus that “grows remarkably well” in human cells and “If the virus escaped, nobody could predict the trajectory.” A biodefense expert (Richard Ebright, Molecular biologist, Rutgers University) added: “The only impact of this work is the creation, in a lab, of a new, non-natural risk.”
Additional info: Coronavirus used as “vaccine vector”: Scientists have long conducted research into the “potential of coronaviruses as vectors for vaccine development” noting that, “[s]everal features make these viruses attractive as vaccine and therapeutic vectors.” Some research has involved “recombinant” coronaviruses altered in a lab, “bringing together genetic material from multiple sources.” Scientists have also noted “unique safety issues associated with virus-vectored vaccines,” warning that such vaccines could mix with wild strains of coronavirus and “theoretically generate a more pathogenic strain.”
Additional info: How viral vector vaccines work: “Viral vector vaccines use live viruses to carry DNA into human cells. The DNA contained in the virus encodes antigens that, once expressed in the infected human cells, elicit an immune response.”
In 2018, the year before China’s outbreak, U.S. State Department science diplomats visited the Wuhan Institute of Virology. They said the research conducted on bat coronaviruses was critically important. But they were so concerned about safety issues at the lab, they dispatched sensitive cables to Washington D.C. warning that the work posed a possible risk of a new SARS-like pandemic. Josh Rogin at the Washington Post later obtained and published the cables.
Additional info: About the State Dept. cables: According to sensitive U.S. diplomatic cables from the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, China, published by the Washington Post last July, the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) took 11 years to build the highest level biosafety lab, level 4, to research “among the most virulent viruses that pose a high risk of aerosolized person to person transmission.” Construction was finished Jan. 31, 2015 and the lab was accredited by the Chinese in Feb. 2017. The cables, dated Jan. 19, 2018, the year before the Covid-19 outbreak, found, “The new lab has a serious shortage of appropriately trained technicians and investigators needed to safely operate this high-containment laboratory.” According to the cables, the Wuhan lab “has scientific collaborations” with the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston— supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which is led by Dr. Fauci. Further, according to the cables, Fauci’s institute and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) had supported a five year study (2017) on bat coronaviruses with the Chinese scientists from the Wuhan lab and Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases: “Obviously, there are a number of theories…”
For his part, Fauci responded to Redfield’s opinion— that Covid-19 escaped from the Wuhan lab— without addressing his agency’s funding of research at issue.
Fauci: “So Dr. Redfield was mentioning that he was giving an opinion as to a possibility. But again there are other alternatives, others that most people hold by.”
Additional info: Fauci comments about Redfield: “The alternative explanation which most public health individuals go by, is that this virus was actually circulating in China, likely in Wuhan, for a month or more before they were clinically recognized at the end of December of 2019. If that were the case, the virus clearly could have adapted itself to a greater efficiency of transmissibility over that period of time, up to and at the time it was recognized.”
Fauci declined our interview request.
Additional info: Fauci documents: The federal government has failed to lawfully respond to multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests I made regarding Fauci’s emails, which are public documents. The documents are required by law to be produced within 30 days. It’s been over a year.
So did Baric, the researcher at the University of North Carolina as did Daszak— the researcher who leads EcoHealth Alliance.
Additional info: About Ralph Baric’s vaccine-related work: Baric lists his specific areas of interest as: Coronavirus Reverse Genetics and vaccine development. “We have developed infectious cDNAs from two coronaviruses,” he writes on his bio page. “Specific applications include…rearranging the coronavirus gene… development of coronavirus replicon RNAs and coronavirus replicon particles for vaccine development… Most of the research in our laboratory has used coronaviruses as models to study the genetics of RNA virus transcription, replication, persistence, and cross species transmission. We have also been using alphavirus vaccine vectors to develop novel candidate vaccines against caliciviruses.”
On Twitter, Daszak called the idea that Covid-19 links to his research— “rabbit hole conspiracies.”
“The same gang of right wing media outlets are also posting fraudulent claims about my work,” Daszak tweeted. “Pure politics w/out a care for how this ultimately puts public health at risk.”
Despite Daszak’s research partnership with Wuhan lab scientists, the World Health Organization raised eyebrows by inviting him to help investigate the origins of Covid-19. That team recently issued a report saying it’s “extremely unlikely” the virus came from a lab.
Additional info: WHO findings: In February, a World Health Organization (WHO) team claimed: “The findings suggest that the laboratory incidents hypothesis is extremely unlikely to explain the introduction of the virus to the human population.”
Additional info: Risk of experiments: Daszak acknowledged in a 2015 presentation that experimenting on coronavirus with the “humanized” mice have the highest degree of risk.
Sharyl to Metzl: “Do you have any idea who was behind the effort in the United States to controversialize the mere asking of the question about whether it came from a lab early on?”
Metzl: “Absolutely. I have repeatedly called for Peter Daszak to be removed from the WHO Organized International Advisory Committee looking into the origins of the pandemic, and the reason why I have done so is Peter has a tremendous conflict of interest as someone through his organization, the EcoHealth Alliance, who is a significant funder of Gain of Function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”
Metzl says Daszak and EcoHealth Alliance were a driving force behind efforts to discredit questions about a lab origin of Covid-19 as “crackpot theories.”
Additional info: Attempts to discredit China lab link: Early in the pandemic, as reporters followed the Covid-19 trail, medical journals added “Editors’ notes” on the bat coronavirus studies involving China in an attempt to debunk any lab ties at the outset. The notes read: “March 30, 2020, We are aware that this article is being used as the basis for unverified theories that the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19 was engineered. There is no evidence that this is true; scientists believe that an animal is the most likely source of the coronavirus.”
They helped orchestrate a letter signed by prominent scientists labeling talk of lab origins as “conspiracy theories.” Their own ties to the Chinese lab in question were omitted.
Metzl: “This letter was considered at the time, very credible. There were a number of Nobel laureates who signed it. And only later did it come out through a Freedom of Information request that the entire process had been managed and manipulated, and it really took the better part of a year.”
As the question is debated, five scientists who spoke with me said the sensitive U.S. research with China should never have been allowed.
One source, a medical doctor, says it was “irresponsible” to “partner with China on how to make [coronavirus] more infectious.” Another, also a medical doctor and biodefense expert says, “Hell, no, it’s not a good idea…[China has] an active bioweapons program, a very good one…and you’re going to cooperate with them on gain of function research? Somebody’s IQ dropped sharply when that decision was made.”
Additional info: State Department Fact Sheet Jan. 15, 2021: On January 15, shortly before the end of Trump’s presidency, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a Fact Sheet about the origins of Covid-19. It said “several researchers inside the WIV became sick in autumn 2019 . . . with symptoms consistent with both COVID-19 and common seasonal illnesses.” It also stated that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had not disclosed all of its related work, and collaborated on secret projects with China’s military. In public statements, Pompeo has said there’s “enormous evidence” supporting the idea that Covid-19 leaked from the Wuhan lab.
Shi, of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, has been firm in her denial of anything to do with Covid-19 calling the virus, “nature’s punishment on the human race.” “I swear on my own life that the virus has no connection with the laboratory,” Shi said in a statement. “To those people who believe in and are spreading the rumours perpetrated by third-rate media outlets… I would like to give this advice: Shut your dirty mouths!”
Additional info: Biden administration: The Biden administration has called on the Chinese government to be more transparent and asked WHO to complete a full and independent investigation.
Additional info: Petition: About 1,000 people have signed onto a petition created by independent scientists asking WHO and EcoHealth Alliance’s Peter Daszak to explain more about the 2019 research that was taking place during the time the pandemic broke out.
Additional info: Ongoing U.S. funding for China’s WIV and EcoHealth Alliance: With the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s (WIV) possible role in the Covid-19 outbreak an open question, the Trump Administration cancelled remaining funding for the EcoHealth Alliance research with WIV on April 27, 2020. After receiving political backlash for the cancelled funding, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reinstated the grant, but made China receiving additional funds contingent upon WIV answering questions about the lab’s practices and the Covid-19 outbreak; and providing a virus sample. EcoHealth Alliance criticized the conditions saying it made the research “impossible.” On Aug. 27, 2020, it was announced that the National Institutes of Health had awarded an even larger grant of taxpayer money, $7.5 million, to EcoHealth Alliance. EcoHealth Alliance is now reportedly one of 11 institutions and research teams approved to receive part of an $82 million bundle of U.S. tax money to study viruses crossing from nature into people, and rapid response strategies.

This story was first published on April 24, 2020.
“Scientists from the U.S. and the Wuhan lab joined up on experiments that involved making bat coronavirus more infectious, to try to invent a vaccine.”
For what? For Sars\-Cov-1? Where did that originate? Are they samples of that virus? Has anyone cloned them to use for research/virology/immunization research? If not, why not?
We need a lot more information but politicians treat everyone like a dummy.
Sharing…
I don’t get it. Why take a bat virus and enable it to infect humans with a disease to make a vaccine for something that not only doesn’t exist but that you are making?
What are the chances that such a virus would infect humans without adding that function to the virus? What is the rationale. It escapes me.
Money!! It’s all about money!! Big Pharma get richer as they create diseases and get money from governments to “create” a cure they already have!
Problem – Reaction – Solution
When you have something you want to implement (vaccines, new laws or policy or simply a product or service you want to sell) you create a problem that generates a reaction leading to the solution you have ready.
The issue here is that humans with functioning, strong immune systems are resilient and the laws of nature are ultimately unbreakable. So they’re “assisting” disease evolution to stay ahead of the ability of humans to adapt.
And a significant part of it is just simply that there’s no profit in chronically healthy people who only need occasional medical attention from an acute injury or illness. Much of our chronic disease increase the past few decades is due to poor nutrition and constant exposure to toxicity rather than finding new natural causes for disease.

This Commie Wuhan virus did NOT accidentally leak from the lab. This WAS a form of BIO-WARFARE pure & simple. NOTICE, not one country is holding Commie China responsible & accountable.. WHY? Because the Commies CONTROL them just like this U.S. Regime.
We don’t know that. It’s possible but we don’t know that. Believing is not knowing.
Absolutely right research Rome declaration and AI SYSTEMS COVID-19 TRACKING AND MONITORING ON THE EUROPEAN PATENT PAIGE
Thanks for an astute article on Covid 19. I recommend you contact or interview Dr. Zach Bush. I just observed his talk on GMOS: Engineering the Nature out of Humanity at
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=rm#inbox/FMfcgxwLtstFdtzFNZZRPftmthcWKrXq
His viewers support non GMO foods and also now animals and even fish that are corporations like Monsanto are sneaking their will on our food supply. This is a real concern for all of us.
Judy [email protected]
Excellent. Thanks for being one of the few who still practices REAL journalism!
Theres a guy (Pukhraj Vohra) treating covid without hiding behind a plastic suit. He is sure his immunity will protect him. I think his work can be very important in battling the oxygen crisis in India by reducing the demand
He uses neem inhalation which is an age old remedy for respiratory deseases. He has been featured in various Indian media but no one yet doing fact checking and getting him traction for doing a study.
In theory there are two studies which support his work: a ESIC medical college study showing neem capsules have 55% efficiency afainst covid and a KGMU study showing neem’s molecular structure show’s covid negation properties.
Please take a moment to check his work and get him traction. It can help us all
Ms. Attakisson, Thanks for your courage in pressuring the truth. I have known since late 2019 from reading The Epoch Times, this was a Plandamic. The Rockefeller Foundation published a document out linning the Lock-Step that has taken place the past year.
I pray for your protection, and that you will be able to connect with other truth-tellers, who are trying to expose the crimes against humanity that are taking place globally.
Sharyl, always great reporting. You are honest and objective like real journalists are supposed to be. That means soon you will be labeled the “enemy” and you will be CANCELED!!!! :)
WOW! This is amazing reporting. I’ve gained some of this information bit by bit, but this pulls a lot of the pieces together. I recently saw Sen. Rand Paul on a news show and he was talking about the term “gain of function”. I had never heard that term and as he was explaining it, my skin was crawling. What is even more scary is the fact that honest scientists/reporters are being silenced. The so called “scientists” that currently have the msmedia’s favor should be called out for their outrageous lies and harm that they have done to the citizens of this great nation. Thank you again Sharyl for your fantastic investigative reporting.
Thank you for always reporting truth! God bless and protect you!
“Covid” = 100% advantage to Democrats. Highly suspicious.
Very early on it was speculated a badly underpaid Wuhan lab worker made extra money stealing dead experimental lab animals and then selling them to the local markets.
It was floated in the media way back when, then what happened to that story?
One key point beyond the Gates funded “Event 201” and it’s suspect timing and simulated waves of lockdown and simulated “fake news” reporting to control the populous from revolt during lockdown.
That point being the fact that Bill Gates himself is on tape, just a couple years prior to the Covid 19 Outbreak, stating that the next big crisis would not be a World War but would likely be a virus from pigs or bats and woild likely come from a place such as the Wet Markets of China. I am paraphrasing here, but you can confirm this info.
Bill Gates is no prophet…rather this is what you would call, “Self-Fullfilled Prophecy”. He is in the thick of this Deep State Legion and it doesn’t take much depth of thinking to realize that this was no accidental release, when considering the key timing of the outbreak.
Perhaps off-topic to a degree, but not insofar as the reference to “Self-fulfilled Prophecy”. Late in 2000 25 NeoCons signed onto an extensive paper which included reference to the imperative for a 21st Century Pearl Harbor if Americans were to become galvanized behind elaborate plans to change the political power structure in the middle east. Less than 12 months later the official 9/11 narrative was used to justify insane interventions into political leadership of several such nations with severe social and economic consequences that reverberate to this day. Must bring smiles to the faces of the financial and political elites of America and other western nations. Citizens of those countries have lived through real hell as opposed to mind-numbing psy-op induced fears.
I live near Austin, Texas, and look forward to your show Full Measure every Sunday morning! It was not on CBS this morning May 1, 2021! This is the 1st time in many years, the repeated show is also not on late tonight! I’m so happy to have found the show here, and now know why you were not on! The cancel culture has hit you and I will not be quiet!!!!! You’re the only sane voice in the local none cable programming and now you are gone!!! May GOD BLESS YOU and protect you! I’ve recorded you for years through my TIVO! I hope I can always find you on line somewhere! Thank you for all you do!!!!!
Thank you, S. Attkisson
Cheryl,
What happened to the Chineese scientists that defected and reported that COVID was deliberately manipulated. I remember one female scientist that was in newspaper articles and on tv shows then….she hasn’t been heard from since. Who silenced them and why?
Our creator provided self-healing machines; those lacking the ability to easily repair – look into poor eating habits; poor thoughts, maybe living a stressed life stemming from feelings of fear. We’d all be dead if there truly was the possibility of a killer virus, bat soup, or even lab generated. Man nor devil cannot trump God’s biological machine. The whole storyline is made up because evil’s goal got people to fear that which is “fake” so they’d take the killer injection. That’s the real eugenics program.
1. Fear controls – look around, a sea of stoooopid masked fools, skooled well.
2. Fear buys Big Pharma products – without fear you’d never need what they’re selling.
3. Fear causes stress affecting health – yet the deaths in 2020 prove a normal yr.
4. Fear has people staying inside (causes ill health)
5. The “Fear” List is seemingly endless while fully affecting health.
6. The fear factor hasn’t reached the rest of the animal kingdom – guess their smarter than the average man.
Check out the Amish (others) communities that never bothered with the propaganda because they’ve not the media to fool. They’d smirk – what, wear a mask for what. I’ve shopped the local dry goods Amish store in one of the states still with Nazi lockdown/masked measures. I’ve never worn a mask and am one of the few, wiser than the “educated” based upon fake medicine – “germ theory” – fraudulent from it’s conception. People refuse to connect the dots, ALL societal institutions are man-made, thus fake – figure that out and you’ll know why there really isn’t a killer germ. Yet because “majority rule” the world “believes”, upholds all that is fake.
The average individual’s swum in the world’s lakes, rivers and oceans. Just imagine all of the animal feces one might ingest, never mind thoroughly bathing ones whole body. Talk about a lab petri dish of life – E-coli and all that jazz.
One might look into direct toxins in municipal water, food (chemicals such as aspartame) and other poisons compromising humans directly, in addition to the fools taking the jab.
Thinking about that word “fact” – it’s based upon a specific reality one embraces, while putting faith in man, is troubling. On concoctions/lies— fear factor of the mind is as real as the velveteen rabbit.
Thank you for the opportunity~@
Thank you again for your fact based, clear and concise reporting on this enormous issue. I listen to you all the time. I have your audiobooks (and hard copies) You help me to realize I have not lost my mind!
