The Trail Leading Back to the Wuhan Labs
By JIM GERAGHTY, April 3, 2020 1:20 PM

There’s no proof the coronavirus accidentally escaped from a laboratory, but we can’t take the Chinese government’s denials at face value.

It is understandable that many would be wary of the notion that the origin of the coronavirus could be discovered by some documentary filmmaker who used to live in China. Matthew Tye, who creates YouTube videos, contends he has identified the source of the coronavirus — and a great deal of the information that he presents, obtained from public records posted on the Internet, checks out.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology in China indeed posted a job opening on November 18, 2019, “asking for scientists to come research the relationship between the coronavirus and bats.”



The Google translation of the job posting is:
“Taking bats as the research object, I will answer the molecular mechanism that can coexist with Ebola and SARS- associated coronavirus for a long time without disease, and its relationship with flight and longevity.
Virology, immunology, cell biology, and multiple omics are used to compare the differences between humans and other mammals.”
(“Omics” is a term for a subfield within biology, such as genomics or glycomics.)




On December 24, 2019, the Wuhan Institute of Virology posted a second job posting. The translation of that posting includes the declaration, “long-term research on the pathogenic biology of bats carrying important viruses has confirmed the origin of bats of major new human and livestock infectious diseases such as SARS and SADS, and a large number of new bat and rodent new viruses have been discovered and identified.”



Tye contends that that posting meant, “we’ve discovered a new and terrible virus, and would like to recruit people to come deal with it.” He also contends that “news didn’t come out about coronavirus until ages after that.” Doctors in Wuhan knew that they were dealing with a cluster of pneumonia cases as December progressed, but it is accurate to say that a very limited number of people knew about this particular strain of coronavirus and its severity at the time of that job posting. By December 31, about three weeks after doctors first noticed the cases, the Chinese government notified the World Health Organization and the first media reports about a “mystery pneumonia” appeared outside China.

Scientific American verifies much of the information Tye mentions about Shi Zhengli, the Chinese virologist nicknamed “Bat Woman” for her work with that species.

... (continued) ...

... Virologists have been vehemently skeptical of the theory that COVID-19 was engineered or deliberately constructed in a laboratory; the director of the National Institutes of Health has written that recent genomic research “debunks such claims by providing scientific evidence that this novel coronavirus arose naturally.” And none of the above is definitive proof that COVID-19 originated from a bat at either the Wuhan Center for Disease Control & Prevention or the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Definitive proof would require much broader access to information about what happened in those facilities in the time period before the epidemic in the city.

But it is a remarkable coincidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was researching Ebola and SARS-associated coronaviruses in bats before the pandemic outbreak, and that in the month when Wuhan doctors were treating the first patients of COVID-19, the institute announced in a hiring notice that “a large number of new bat and rodent new viruses have been discovered and identified.” And the fact that the Chinese government spent six weeks insisting that COVID-19 could not be spread from person to person means that its denials about Wuhan laboratories cannot be accepted without independent verification.

China, didn't you read :

And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; THEY SHALL NOT BE EATEN, they are an abomination:
the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, and the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
every raven after his kind;
and the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, and the swan, and the pelican,
and the gier eagle, and the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, AND THE BAT.

China and Iran’s numbers are worthless. Why they are posted on the Johns Hopkins site I have no idea.

Here is a mystery.Bangladesh has 161 million people crammed into a small nation and yet only has 70 cases of Wuhan virus and 6 dead from it. Perhaps it is so poor most cases are ignored in the general atmosphere of death and despair over there but something is keeping the numbers down.

I could read a long article but I would not believe what I believe afterwards any more than I do now:

THIS VIRUS WAS CREATED IN A LAB IN CHINA.

IT GOT AWAY FROM THEM.

NOW IT HAS THE REST OF US.

On February 4 — one week before the World Health Organization decided to officially name this virus “COVID-19” — the journal Cell Research posted a notice written by scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology about the virus, concluding, “our findings reveal that remdesivir and chloroquine are highly effective in the control of 2019-nCoV infection in vitro. Since these compounds have been used in human patients with a safety track record and shown to be effective against various ailments, we suggest that they should be assessed in human patients suffering from the novel coronavirus disease.” One of the authors of that notice was the “bat woman,” Shi Zhengli.

The Treasonous American #FakeNews Networks forgot to mention that information. Orange Man Bad.

Good points, it could be true. I’m giving benefit of doubt and thinking they would not do this to their own people and customers but that may be giving them too much credit.

I think you are right and wrong. The suggestion from Tye is that they were separating Bat virus, and they mishandled one. I read somewhere, that a researcher at the lab said they were spilled on regularly. And that when they got sick, they just stayed home. So it was normal Chinese lack of quality that allowed a virus which was natural, to find its way to humans in the lab. And then out to the general population.

I have not seen anywhere that would suggest it was created. And I am not sure how you could even test the one most damaging thing about this virus. Its ability to spread so easily. How could they test such a thing without human suspects.

I guess they could do it with jails. But nobody has suggested that this thing escape from a jail. It seemed to escape a lab. Uyghurs could be used, but they would not give it to people in Wuhan. A test facility like that would be out in the desert to stop spread. If China suddenly produced a vaccine, you would know that they had been working with it earlier. And would have wanted to vaccinate themselves before spreading it. But this does not seem to be the case either.

No, I think all the evidence points to a lab that was not very clean, which was studying local naturally occurring virus’. They had several like Bird Flu, SARS and many others that effected their population. It is reasonable that they promote science that researches the known virus’ in Chinese animals, both farm and wild. And in doing so, they accidentally allowed one to infect their researchers and then the city and then the world.

Everywhere an American looked an item was marked made in this country (China). Now that reliance was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products , When Americans hailed that leaders decision to make many of them in their country.

Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies, since that change in American leadership, wave the American flag and present his name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader,

Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy.
The way this whole thing developed starting with the Italian fashion industry areas controlled by the Chinese commies hit by a runaway CoVid19. Sure looks suspicious particularly when crews of naval vessels somehow wind up being infected by it.

The virus is contagious before symptoms occur, making its spread fast and nearly unstoppable. This tells me that we are dealing with a military weapon. Wuhan is the perfect cover for releasing such a virus. Who benefits from the making of police state measures into everyday life?

Lack of testing. But also it is warm and there's no AC. The virus hasn't done well in the southern hemisphere.
