The U.S. Scientist At the Heart of COVID-19 Lab Leak Conspiracies Is Still Trying to Save the World From the Next Pandemic

Ralph Baric stepped onto the auditorium stage at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and looked out at the sparse audience that had come to hear him speak. On the large projector screen hanging behind him, the following words appeared: How Bad the Next Pandemic Could Be, What Might It Look Like, and Will We be Ready. The date was May 29, 2018.

“Well, I have to admit I’m a little worried about giving this talk,” Baric said. “The reason is being labelled a harbinger of doom.” The screen shifted, and images of the four horsemen of the apocalypse—Death, Famine, War, and Plague—came into view, next to a headshot of a smiling Baric. “This is not me,” he continued, “I’m not one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.” Light laughter bubbled through the audience; Baric smiled. For the next 35 minutes, he laid out his prediction, with uncanny precision, of what the next pandemic would bring: a rush for bogus antiviral treatments, vast profits for companies making personal protective equipment, a global economic crash, and a rise in conspiracy theories claiming that the pandemic pathogen was designed by scientists.

Kevin Spacey denies sex assault at Judi Dench gala, saying 'he would never embarrass her'

Hollywood star gives glimpse of his life with celebrity friends as he tells trial he is 'a big flirt' but denies forcing himself on anyone

It had been eight years since Kevin Spacey last appeared live in a London theatre in the salubrious surroundings of the Old Vic.

On Thursday, courtroom number one at Southwark Crown Court with its strip lighting and wood veneer provided the backdrop for Spacey’s real-life appearance in his own trial, accused of sexual and indecent assault.

Spacey told the jury he was a “big flirt” but said he would “respect how far someone wants to go”.

Of his first accuser, he insisted the allegations made against him were a “stab in the back”.

At the end of four hours of testimony, the Oscar-winning actor fought back the tears, dabbing at his eyes with a tissue, as he admitted his world had “exploded” when the claims first surfaced six years ago.

He said he had “lost everything in a matter of days”, including his reputation and his work, claiming there had been a “rush to judgment”.
