Synopsis

Walkley Award-winning journalist, Sharri Markson is the Investigations Editor at The Australian and host of prime-time show Sharri on Sky News Australia.
The origins of Covid-19 are shrouded in mystery. Scientists and government officials insisted, for a year and a half, that the virus had a natural origin, ridiculing anyone who dared contradict this view. Tech giants swept the internet, censoring and silencing debate in the most extreme fashion. Yet it is undeniable that a secretive facility in Wuhan was immersed in genetically manipulating bat-coronaviruses in perilous experiments. And as soon as the news of an outbreak in Wuhan leaked, the Chinese military took control and gagged all laboratory insiders.Part-thriller, part-expose, What Really Happened in Wuhan is a ground-breaking investigation from leading journalist Sharri Markson into the origins of Covid-19, the cover-ups, the conspiracies and the classified research. It features never-before-seen primary documents exposing China's concealment of the virus, fresh interviews with whistleblower doctors in Wuhan and crucial eyewitness accounts that dismantle what we thought we knew about when the outbreak hit.With unprecedented access to Washington insiders, Markson takes you inside the White House, with senior Trump lieutenants revealing first-hand accounts of fiery Oval Office clashes and new stories of compromised government advisors and censored scientists.Bravely reported and chillingly laid out, Markson brings to light the stories of the pandemic from the people on the ground: the scientists and national security officials who raised uncomfortable truths and were labelled conspiracy theorists, until government agencies began to suspect they might have been right all along. These brave individuals persisted through bruising battles and played a crucial role in investigating the origins of Covid-19 to finally, in this book, bring us closer to the truth of what really happened in Wuhan.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Roger on January 16, 2022

The most descriptive word as a reaction to this book is infuriating. It's infuriating because an Australian journalist published it in Australia. I don't begrudge an Australian for doing such good work. I begrudge the media in the United States for not doing its job. Markson has presented so much ev......more

Goodreads review by Glenn on February 14, 2023

An amazing account of the Covid pandemic and the malevolent response by Chinese Communist Party functionaries. Nothing against the Chinese people, but the CCP is one of the most-evil organizations on Earth. The USA is also indicted in this book for its shocking complicity in funding the very dangero......more

Goodreads review by Sharon on February 23, 2023

With many things---history, politics, natural and man-made disasters, legislation, leadership, controversial topics---it helps to try to read as many different points of view as possible. When COVID first hit, I immediately read The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History to t......more

“It began in the autumn of 2019. Months before the first reported case of human-to-human contact, the Wuhan Institute of Virology began to go dark. Publicly available information was wiped from the internet. Staff connected with the Institute disappeared as the scientists fiercely criticised its saf......more

Goodreads review by Lawrence on October 27, 2021

Gist - The book postulates the following: 1) SARS-Cov2's origin is within the confines walls of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) through gain of function research, versus zoonosis (nature) which is the widely accepted narrative. 2) As genetically modified viruses do not need to have a distinguis......more
