second surge. here is brit hume. striking to hear jen psaki say that the biden administration is really pushing to get more information about this by pressing the w.h.o. whose record on this whole issue has been appallingly bad and was one of the leaders in dismissing the theory that the virus that could have emanated from that wuhan lab, pushing the w.h.o. to do an open investigation, i don t think that s a serious comment. we don t know what happened here. and we haven t known. but the wuhan lab theory was always plausible. so the dismissal of that idea that it came from the lab by so many news organizations was another in the long line of recent media failures. brian: absolutely. the only thing i would add to the w.h.o. after the w.h.o. got their so-called comprehensive report, do you know what they said? this isn t really comprehensive. we need to do another study. the w.h.o. was saying out of all
heavily what they are wearing. this is something you experience a lot in this country whether school, internships and everybody is trying to police what you are wearing. and to do this to a bunch of kids in the yearbook photo where they clearly took time to care about how they look is infuriating. she looked great. that is how i feel. john: you know i am not waiting in on this. [laughter] gillian: sorry for sharing an opinion there. but kind of got my goat. john: i love it. keep going. gillian: let s actually move on. we have joe concha. the mainstream media doing about-face after dismissing wuhan lab theory as a conspiracy theory went the trump administration first raised it last year. here is a look at the headlines now rejecting the possibility that wuhan lab being the original source of the outbreak while mocking those journalist who wanted a closer look at the evidence. here he is as promised,

says this intelligence information provided to the u.s. gove government, needs to be more fully corroborated. there are people who work with the trump administration who say that actually there is additional information that lends more substance to this. what s significant is the number of researchers or the month they went and the fact that they went to the hospital. it is circumstantial evidence. it is not conclusive but it points in the direction of the lab theory. it is more information. you think china is definitely hiding things here. talk us through this. right. some great reporting by the wall street journal. the pile of circumstantial evidence that points to this theory that the lab may have been vinvolved.
provided by the international partner. it could be very important and fully validated and needed additional corroboration. we actually wrote that and she said that. i don t think jen psaki in any way repudiating the january 15th statement which said the u.s. government has reasons to believe several researchers fail ill. that statement i have been informed bedded by the biden administration by the way. the biden administration never said those assertions are incorrect. the issue, unfortunately, became very politicized. i talked to bibiden s officials who say they are intrigued and found the lab theory plausible because of all the chinese efforts to cover up and withholding information. they asked themselves why would they do this if it was a freak of nature, would they be doing
