Publisher's Summary
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.

Better than I expected
I've read the Andy Slavitt, Michael Lewis and several other books on Covid. I thought this one was a refreshing change and covered new territory.
Really well researched...(citing The Daily Mail at times though was a bit offputting. )
For some reason, I found it hard to stay interested. My mind kept wandering or I'd just tune out. Not sure if It was the narrator, the writing style or if I was in the wrong headspace that week. I'll revisit it at some stage in the hope of better retention. Well worth a listen.

Excellent explanation of events
Human insanity has to be explained before it can be understood.
Thank you for bringing our awareness to what really happened.

Great insight into a complex subject
Like many, I was was initially concerned about being classed as a conspiracy theorist even opening up the topic of origins. This is a well paced (if a little repetitive) narrative covering many aspects of science, journalism and politics- all showing how the initial conclusion about the origins of Covid were derived, and how that must now be reconsidered.

Astounding research, exciting, entertaining.
This is a monumental work that every intelligent person needs to listen to (or read). Erudite and entertaining, the thoroughness of the research is astounding. The pace is good and the detective work is as exciting as any movie. The research development and writing are worthy of any scientific journal. Truly a great purchase.
It weaves together the narratives from Wuhan, from Chinese politics, American politics, world politics, science politics (!) and an enormous number of scientific sources from East and West.
The phenomenal determination of Markson to get to the truth is inspiring, she has relentlessly tracked down many sources that have been censored or removed from the web. Few could overcome the obstacles she has.

So much incredible information
An amazing amount of information. Hard to believe the information was basically unknown by the general public. It blew me away.
So much information to try to absorb. I feel like I should have been taking notes whilst listening to it to be able to have a decent recall on what I listened to.
Such a credit to Shari, her team and all of the high level contacts that helped to get all of this information out into the public domain. I hope the information can cause some change to prevent a reoccurrence of what happened in the future. Otherwise next time the outcome could even be much worse.

Outstanding work by an outstanding journalist
Thoroughly researched and extremely important, this book should be read by everyone. Special mention to the narrator who did a fantastic job of managing very complex terms and tricky names, making it sound as if it was narrated by the author herself.

Stunning proof that Beijing released the CCP lab virus
A stunning tour de force by Sharri Markson that details the global crime of the century.
From the very first chapter of this extraordinary book, it is clear that Beijing - having funded bioweapons research in Wuhan for decades - conspired to cover-up and knowingly spread the CCP lab virus.
Non-fiction book of the Year? Definitely.
Non-fiction book of the century? It’s hard to argue otherwise after the death of nearly 10 million innocent civilians.
The truly definitive story of the CCP lab virus.

Finally an alternative narrative
This book becomes more incredible with each page. The fact that 2 years into this pandemic and it has only now surfaced is a disgrace to so called journalism and media which has become nothing more than partisan opinion without fact. Well Done Shari.
