NEC-SE April 3, 2020 Japan Forward Article on COVID Origins

On Wednesday, July 29, 2026, the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs will question Dr. Anthony Fauci about his role during the COVID-19 pandemic and his prior testimony on it. On December 7, 2019, I was in South Korea conducting a regional assessment as the CEO of Near East Center for Strategic Engagement and realized that something critical was coming out of China. By January of 2020, I had already been interviewed on some of the findings by the media, and by February 24, 2020, I had submitted the initial draft article for the Daily Herald on the origins of COVID. Given the pushback at that time in the States, I asked the Daily Herald to release the op-ed back to me so I could submit it to Japan Forward, avoiding the continuous political debates that were causing delays in publishing my article in the States. On April 3, 2020, I published my article in Japan Forward. What Dr. Fauci failed to share with the country was what most assessments showed regarding the origins of COVID. The pressures laid on local media also suppressed my posting of these articles on various platforms that would have allowed a logical debate on the issues arising from COVID. Even today, I would not be surprised if platforms like FB would still continue to shadow-ban these historical articles showing the damage individuals like Dr. Fauci did to our country by misleading the public on the origins of COVID and how it could be countered in the first few days of contracting the virus. https://japan-forward.com/chinas-sverdlovsk-is-a-wakeup-call-to-japan-and-the-world/
