Michael Gove suggests Covid was man-made during inquiry<\/h3>\n

Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg has criticised the Covid inquiry after it shut down Michael Gove for raising the lab leak theory at yesterday\u2019s hearing.<\/p>\n

Mr Gove had been explaining that the fact the virus may have been manmade impacted on the quality of the Government\u2019s response.<\/p>\n

However he was quickly shut down by the inquiry\u2019s top lawyer, who said such remarks were \u201csomewhat divisive, so we\u2019re not going to go there\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sir Jacob has now demanded to know why the inquiry is refusing to address the question of a lab leak being the cause of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Speaking on GB News, he said the origin of SARS-CoV-2 should be at the heart of the \u201cvery expensive\u201d inquiry.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWhy wasn\u2019t the question of the lab leak theory included in the terms of reference of the inquiry? It\u2019s the foundational question.<\/p>\n

\u201cYet this very expensive inquiry just wants to conclude that we should have locked down sooner and more brutally.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything that does not fit in with its predetermined narrative is excluded including the source of the virus.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we are to restore public trust in a post-Covid world, the question of the lab leak must be at the forefront of the Covid inquiry and we must also ensure that lockdowns never happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sir Jacob also explained the history of the theory, saying it was once considered \u201ca loony-tune idea\u201d but has since become \u201cthe most probable source\u201d of the outbreak.<\/p>\n
