Coronavirus lab escape theory advances
Washington Times ^ | 4/8/20 | Bill Gertz

Posted on 04/12/2020 7:11:48 AM PDT by dontreadthis

For weeks after the COVID-19 outbreak began, mainstream media outlets, reflecting propaganda themes voiced by the Chinese government, have sought to label public discussion about a laboratory origin of the coronavirus as an unfounded conspiracy theory.

China’s government and many scientists insist that the virus resulted from a naturally occurring mutation from bats to humans, with a possible wild animal host as an intermediary carrier.

Further, critics of the lab escape theory deceptively have conflated the idea that China bioengineered the virus as a weapon together with the possible inadvertent escape of a bat coronavirus.

“I’m a bit contrarian on this.”

... Also completely wrong.

This is clearly bio-warfare, and the world must retaliate.

knowing that because of the Chinese New Year celebrations, they’d be traveling to the U.S., Europe, Iran, etc.

How convenient they started shutting down Wuhan 2 days after people started heading back home around the world, very thoughtful of the CCP to throw a dinner with 40,000 people before sending everyone off.

Back around January I read it was theorized this virus was used originally to subdue the Hong Kong protesters that were getting far too much support from outside the country.

The article shows clearly that the Wuhan-virus is aptly named, notwithstanding the indignant crimes of the CCP and its media shills. The article also highlights how some in Congress now want to hold China accountable and bring home our manufacturing. I wonder where these new “America First” legislators were when the Bushes, Clinton and Obama looked the other way while American jobs left our shores so that the multinationals could enhance their bottom lines? I doubt they were looking out for the American workers or gave even a passing thought to our national security. Instead, it was all about stock portfolios and campaign funds.

Very, very good video. I’ve shared it on Facebook, though I expect the censors there to pull it at any time.

We've been saying this from the beginning. It would be the sixth time such a virus escaped a lab in China.

Funny, they banned Chinese from Wuhan from flying or traveling anywhere inside China, but let them fly all over the world.

It’s not at all incomprehensible. Mao deliberately starved 45M of his own people by trading rice and wheat harvests to the USSR for weapons to keep his lard-ass and those of his cronies in power. Killing a few thousand is nothing to this bunch off inbred psychopaths.

There are many of us here on FR that said at the beginning this thing was lab cultured in the bio-level 4 lab in Wuhan, China -- less than 10 miles from the "wet market" that this thing allegedly (ha!) mutated in and jumped from bats to humans.

Find the original Nature.Com article from 2015 which SPECIFICALLY describes this virus as having the capability from jumping to humans. The Chinese knew it all the way back then.

They unleashed this virus on the planet deliberately. They knowingly sent infected Chinese via plane to all corners of the world. This is BIO-TERRORISM IMO and China must be made to pay a very, VERY heavy price for the carnage this thing has done to the global economy.

You bet your ass it is and you bet your ass again that we must. :-)

Who were the “Hong Kong protesters”?:) :>S
