In a much-tweeted soundbite from the recent Congressional hearing on the origins of Covid-19, former CDC director Robert Redfield noted that three unusual events occurred in Wuhan in September 2019 suggesting a lab leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

You ask, at the end of your Brownstone report: "Why does the ample evidence of manifold German connections to and indeed involvement in virus research in Wuhan not merit at least the same degree of scrutiny, if not to say of certainty?"
(I highly recommend reading the linked report.)
I'd guess the answer is:
It's because the German press, like their American counterparts, know well -- and are likely often reminded, that there are certain facts about past and present political leaders that are to remain unavailable to the general public, depending upon each leader's party affiliation.

Robert,
you missed an important part.
When Merkel visited Wuhan she also appeared at a ceremony at Webasto, a German car OEM with a few thousand employees worldwide. Not a company like Bosch or Siemens, who also happen to be present in the Wuhan province, but Webasto. Nobody knows that company.
In early 2020 Germany's patient zero appeared in Germany. That patient travelled from Wuhan to Hong Kong, then flew to Germany. This patient zero had flu symptoms, and she reported those symptoms to the WHO research team that just happened to rush to investigate patient zero.
Who led the team? Christian Drosten. He later claimed he made a mistake when reporting that she had no symptoms, but somehow his addendum was lost and so the narrative was established that COVID spreads asymptomatically.
Now take a guess where patient zero was employed?
At Webasto.
Now take another guess of which organization the CEO of Webasto was a member of just a week before Merkel visited Wuhan? The World Economic Forum.
Alas, shortly before her visit the CEO of Webasto stepped down for unknown reasons.
All of this was published on Substack a while ago. Apparently the BND and BSI monitor Substack, so just a day after publication German tabloid BILD ran a story diluting the facts and framing Merkel as a village idiot who just happened to stumble into the lion's den.
Notice how they frame this. This article was written by the BND, released through the dpa which has embedded BND agents, and reworded slightly by BILD. Damage control, just a day after all of this was leaked on Substack.
This may well all go back to the very powerful families who are in control of most world events. Many of them are based in Germany, not that national boundaries mean much to them.
"We often hear about the influences of the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers, but these people are merely your typical lackeys when you actually look at it. They are the bottom of the totem pole. If you’re looking at the powerful people, you can talk about the House of Braganza; you talk about the House of Orange and the House of Hapsburg.
These people have unimaginable wealth. You measure it not in billions but in trillions of dollars. I have a document from the Krupp family of Germany. One banking statement, just one account on one day, and there’s a 112 trillion dollars on that account. That’s the kind of money that the Bill Gates of this world… well, they’re not even lackeys. They are nothing, because again what they have is just pocket change for these people".
Excellent work, great delving.
