A VIRUS

MORE THAN 109 MILLION INFECTIONS

MORE THAN 2.7 MILLION DEATHS

HOW DID IT HAPPEN?

The origins of COVID-19 are shrouded in mystery and conspiracy theories. Some say it started in a lab when scientists fell sick after manipulating a bat-coronavirus. Others say the team was working on a bioweapon for the Chinese military.

After multiple global inquiries, after economies have been decimated and millions of lives lost, we still need answers.

Part-thriller, part-expose, What Really Happened in Wuhan is a ground-breaking investigation into the origins of COVID-19, the cover-ups, the conspiracies and the classified research, from Walkley Award-winning journalist Sharri Markson.

It features never-before-seen primary documents exposing China's early cover-up of the virus.

There are fresh interviews with whistleblower doctors in Wuhan - the eyewitness accounts dismantling what we thought we knew about when the outbreak hit.

Plus, the book takes you inside the White House, with senior Trump officials revealing first-hand accounts of fiery Oval Office clashes and new stories of near-miss disasters in the Situation Room.

In her gripping book, "What Really Happened In Wuhan: The Cover-ups, the Conspiracies and the Classified Research," investigative journalist Sharri Markson delves into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, uncovering a web of secrecy, misinformation, and potential conspiracies surrounding the outbreak in Wuhan, China.

Markson's extensive research and interviews with key players provide a comprehensive account of the events leading up to and following the outbreak, shedding light on the Chinese government's initial response, the suppression of information, and the role of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a high-security laboratory conducting research on coronaviruses.

The book meticulously examines the timeline of events, from the first reports of an unusual pneumonia in Wuhan in December 2019 to the global pandemic that ensued. Markson uncovers evidence suggesting that the Chinese government knew about the virus's potential for human-to-human transmission earlier than they publicly acknowledged, raising questions about their handling of the situation.

Markson also delves into the controversies surrounding the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which has been at the center of speculation about the origins of the virus. She investigates the institute's research activities, its ties to the Chinese military, and the possibility of a laboratory leak as the source of the outbreak.

"What Really Happened In Wuhan" is a thought-provoking and meticulously researched account that challenges the official narrative and raises critical questions about transparency, accountability, and the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the events that unfolded in Wuhan and their implications for global health and security.
