Why is the Previously Dismissed Claim that COVID Originated in China Now Being Accepted as Fact?
Gateway Pundit ^

Posted on 03/01/2023 5:43:57 AM PST by Tench_Coxe

Monday’s big news that COVID came from a Chinese bio weapons lab and not a wet market offering tasty morsels of bat meat and pangolin tenders has been greeted by some with justifiable skepticism. Bernard at Moon of Alabama, for example, is certain that this is just a propaganda move by the U.S., which is trying to whip up public support for an eventual war with China.

I don't agree with 'Moon of Alabama's' assertion that whipping up war with China as the primary reason.

To paraphrase from Keanu Reeve's lawyer character from the movie 'Devil's Advocate': while they're busy looking at China, they're not looking at NIH and Ft Detrick.

It may have come out of a lab in China, but it was started in the US. BTW, gain of function is still taking place in the US, in case anyone has been paying attention.

Colbert already splained what is going on. He said “We can’t say it came from a lab in China because that’s what the Republicans said happened and we can’t allow them to be right”.

Good question. I guess FJB has decided to stop defending his pals in Red China. Probably thinks that he has so many of them working for him in the District of Corruption that he don’t have to pretend anymore.

Even so, it likely came from China. Our rulers are more than capable of just making stuff up, but they don’t always have to.

A deep analysis of the issue tracks it back to Fauci and the US science community. Can’t have that.

I think Republicans holding hearings are going to bring out the truth. This is trying to throw some shade on the situation. Fauci tried to cover for the NIH And ECO health funding gain of function research at Wuhan

First time I’ve ever seen the quintessentially Texas phrase, “a case of the red ass” in a national publication!

Or a lab in Ukraine.

Since Ukraine is on its last legs and they are unable to keep the propaganda going that “Ukraine is winning” they’ve decided to pivot and turn attention to demonizing China for being responsible for the release of the virus. The public at large will focus on that and the fact that US scientists had a hand in its development is something they hope to obscure as they whip up the anti-China rhetoric.

Exactly...

So it jumped from a monkey in a wet market, which wet markets are seafood markets, in the same town as the lab working on the virus, but didn’t come from the lab. What are the odds?

It was racist when Trump said it. But when Biden will say it. it will be ok.
Like Biden re-instituting Trump policies on the border and building more border fences. The Left is suddenly silent

I agree with it - look at the timing, RIGHT AFTER Russia and China linked up. We’re trying to ‘send a message’ to China, as if they’ll give a crap.

I'm beginning to think the Covid and gain of function stuff is really at the root of the Ukraine mess.

What do you think would happen, if it was shown, with irrefutable evidence, that our own NIH and DoD were tinkering around with bioweapons research (treaty violation, btw), farmed it out to foreign countries, and the intentional or accidental release gave us the lockdowns, stolen election, coerced/mandated jabs....

“I’m beginning to think the Covid and gain of function stuff is really at the root of the Ukraine mess.”

Maybe a factor, but if you knew Victoria Neuland’s past, growing up a grandfather that HATED the Russians (and with good reason back then), you’d understand that this PAYBACK for what the Soviets did, a blood-lust on her part. That’s partly way Elon had to call her out, as she WILL start WW3 if she doesn’t get what she wants through Ukraine (the breakup of Russia) - it is that important to her. [my analysis, by the way]

Yes, but under a different name to protect the guilty.

The question is backwards. The correct question is “Why is the truth that COVID originated in China [lab] No Longer Suppressed?”

1) Now that the election is over this is a good time to allow inconvenient truths to come out
2) With China starting to cozy up to Russia, the elite want to punish them.
3) Fauci has retired and has less influence to keep certain truths out.

I heard it in South Louisiana before I heard it in Texas, though. :-)
