Declan Hill: Covid - The Slow Motion Chernobyl
01/27/25 • 44 min
This week (January 2025) the CIA announced that they believe the origin of Covid came from a laboratory leak.
"Our intelligence, our science and our common sense all really dictate that the origins of Covid was a leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology."
Finally.
Three years after CrimeWaves released our series - The Slow-Motion Chernobyl.
These are episodes that we, at CrimeWaves Podcast are both very proud of - the research is in-depth, shocking and has been proven absolutely correct - and still traumatized. For this series and CrimeWaves was deliberately censored and shadowbanned by both Twitter/X and LinkedIn at the time of broadcast.
Please listen, you will hear nothing partisan, no personal or political attacks but it is the story of the greatest man-made plague in human history.

It was a slow motion Chernobyl.
Here is what, the balance of probabilities tells us about the origins of this Covid epidemic that haunts us all.
It was the worst industrial accident in the history of humanity.
In general, Chinese laboratory technicians are so badly trained, so ill-paid and so mis-guided that some of them used to sell infected research animals to local butchers.
The specific virologists in Wuhan lab played God. They created super-virulent viruses, more powerful than anything natural.
Their methods like “finding a gas leak with a match”.
Their science so misguided nine years ago an academic warned of an 80% chance of a global epidemic.
When the near-inevitable leak came, they covered it up.
The Communist Chinese jailed anyone brave enough to warn the world.
The World Health Organization (WHO) helped them.
More than 12 million people have died and continue to die.
It could happen again.
On crimewavespodcast.com - we examine, in a special five-part series, the ‘Crime of the Century’ - how it occurred and how it was covered-up.
