# Ask China! > Mainstream outlets reverse course on the Wuhan lab leak theory while internal Facebook documents reveal secret algorithms designed to suppress vaccine skepticism across the platform. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 1350 - **Published:** 2021-05-27 - **Length:** 3h 6m - **Topics:** Wuhan Lab Leak, Facebook Whistleblower, [Peter McCullough](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/peter-mccullough.md), [Vaccine Hesitancy](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/vaccine-hesitancy.md), Bitcoin Zephyr, Cascade Investment, Digital Passports - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1350-ask-china ## About this episode The mainstream media narrative undergoes a seismic shift as CNN, MSNBC, and The New York Times pivot toward the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab leak theory. President Joe Biden has ordered a 90-day intelligence review into the origins of COVID-19, while NBC News reports that three researchers from the facility fell ill with virus-like symptoms in late 2019. This sudden reversal follows over a year of dismissals regarding the laboratory accident hypothesis. Dr. Peter McCullough details the global suppression of early treatment protocols involving ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, citing threats against medical licenses in Canada and Australia. In the United States, CDC officials Dr. Ann Shuchat and Dr. Nancy Messonnier have announced their resignations amid internal friction. Meanwhile, Facebook whistleblowers have leaked internal documents to Project Veritas revealing a secret "VH score" algorithm designed to drastically reduce user exposure to vaccine-hesitant comments regardless of factual accuracy. Actor Daniel Dae Kim credits a specific drug cocktail for his recovery, while comedian Jimmy Dore faces backlash for sharing his own post-vaccination side effects. The episode features the knighting of Executive Producer Sean Akers and Sir Lee The Furious, alongside a bizarre report on Pfizer marketing Viagra to young gamers to combat porn-induced erectile dysfunction. The hosts also track a Zephyr train sighting as a leading indicator for the current Bitcoin market bounce. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
