Description

Welcome to this episode of the Aussie English podcast!

We got another man of science in the podcast today!

This guy like me is another science lover - he got his bachelor's degree in Biotechnology and Molecular Biology from Clarion University and his PhD in Molecular Biology from Carnegie Mellon University.

Meet Dr. Dan Wilson, creator of the YouTube channel Debunk the Funk with Dr. Wilson!

In his channel, he debunks the claims of anti vaxxers, the covid deniers, and various misinformation that's circling the Internet.

In this last instalment of my 4-part interview with Dr Wilson, we talk about the origins of the COVID 19 virus.

Specifically, we talk about whether or not it came from a natural source versus a lab leak, where it was introduced from a lab into the population.

Instead of, say, coming directly through animals, we talk about what evidence we need to see to be 100% certain that it was one or the other, a natural origin or a lab leak.

We also talk about why it's been so fuzzy and difficult to come to a definite conclusion on this.

We also chat about why China immediately started to cover up everything related to the virus and clamp down on any investigation into its origins and much more.

See you in the next episode!
