After the success of Zycam, Dr. Charles Hensley went after bigger challenges. However, when he was drawn into the SARS hot zone, he discovered that the biggest danger wasn't from the virus but rather the political forces that would try to stop him. In Viral Winds, Hensley reveals the dirty secret political world of emerging viral disease.

And we don't really know where it came from. That's what our book is about, trying to understand. And, you know, frankly, there have been coverups. There have been obfuscation. There's been a blockage of information. It's disgraceful.

There was an appalling attempt to censor away the possibility that this was a laboratory origin virus.

And then suddenly at the end of 2019, a disease caused by one of these viruses breaks out in Wuhan.

So, you know, prima facie, you've got to take seriously the possibility that this came out of a laboratory.

And as you say, we've spent 18 months being told that that's a nutty conspiracy theory that shouldn't be allowed in mainstream media. And you know, why? Why should we censor a perfectly reasonable scientific discussion of this kind?
