🇺🇸British scientist plotted with senior US health official to shut down Covid lab leak theory, court documents allege

US court documents allege zoologist Dr Peter Daszak conspired with David Morens to disrupt suspicions that the research may have caused the global pandemic.
They claim the former president of US-based non-governmental organisation EcoHealth Alliance sent bottles of wine to Morens, then a senior figure at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to thank him for 'behind the scenes shenanigans'. Other gifts supposedly offered to the official, who offered to get Dr Daszak's work 're-funded', included dinners at Michelin-starred restaurants.
