Beginning in March 2020, Narativ host Zev Shalev began meticulously investigating early signs of possible Chinese foul play in the burgeoning pandemic. His analysis predated mainstream scrutiny of a laboratory origin by over a year.
Throughout early 2020 the prevalent assumption blamed natural zoonotic spillover via Wuhan animal markets. Narativ stood out for prudently weighing the limited data to ask accountability questions shunned as taboo or partisan.
Science would gradually validate Zev’s initial investigation but in the Spring of 2020, Narativ’s three-part exposé delved deeper than international authorities cared to tread for a year after which is why it is at number 3 in our top 5 countdown of all time.

Narativ exposes President Donald Trump's mishandling of the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Zev delves deep into investigating claims that Trump ignored early warnings about the coronavirus, purposely downplayed the situation, and rejected the World Health Organization’s test in favor of Thermo Fisher's, potentially due to undisclosed financial interests. Zev also suggests that the delay in response and focus on private sector deals may have cost the precious window where the virus could've been contained. The episode also scrutinizes potential profit-making schemes during the pandemic, including questionable investments in vaccine production and testing sites.
