**Recap:**

<span style="font-weight: 400;">BGI, a state-controlled China genomics company, is working hand-in-glove with Wellcome, directed by Jeremy Farrar, to gather global DNA data. Farrar sees this scramble for genomics supremacy as Wellcome’s most important mission.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">It was the desire to protect this core investment that potentially motivated Farrar to orchestrate the Covid cover-up. The key planks in the execution of this plan were the Proximal Origin paper and the</span>[ <span style="font-weight: 400;">Lancet Statement</span>](https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1-c0aYAoym9ll8HVTNpV3v17wNo7JTdPYWBMi1gjKagI/edit)<span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span>
