The COVID-19 pandemic killed millions of people around the world and forever changed life as we know it — and its origins remain a point of controversy and fertile ground for conspiracy theories.
Was it a leak from a Chinese lab? Bioweapon research gone awry? A planned scheme? Join host and former CIA covert agent Andrew Bustamante as he investigates the prevailing theories, speaks to experts and even visits an infectious disease laboratory to observe real-world containment protocols.
Bustamante will conduct experiments to understand how viruses are transmitted, and analyze early timeline data and reporting from Wuhan.
With a combination of intelligence tradecraft, scientific insight and hands-on testing, the latest episode of “Conspiracies & Coverups” will evaluate what the evidence actually supports — and where uncertainty still lingers.
On tonight’s episode, Bustamante will speak to Amal Graafstra, CEO of Dangerous Things; Emily M. Davenport, a certified wildlife rehabilitator with the Rocky Mountain Wildlife Alliance; Alina Chan, molecular biologist and author; Henrietta Levin, senior fellow at the Center for Strategic & International Studies, and more.
Joining Bustamante to discuss and dissect the extensive reporting on the COVID-19 pandemic will be The Post’s managing editor, Lia Eustachewich.
The latest episode of the series — produced in coordination with Texas Crew Productions and New York Post Entertainment — premieres Wednesday, April 21 at 10 pm ET/PT on the Discovery Channel.
