Way back early in the outbreak someone on FR posted a piece that talked about a Taiwanese virus expert. His analysis was that there was a highly remote possibility that this virus mutated itself into existence, but that possibility was so remote he was virtually certain that this bat virus was altered in the lab to become what it is.
Since I read that, I was pretty much convinced this thing was genetically altered in the lab. I cannot know if the release was accidental or intentional. But with the revelation that Fauci approved the research grant for the Wuhan Lab, I pretty much figured most of the statements by government tools were for the purpose of CYA.
We really, really, really need to sanitize the federal bureaucracy in the worst way. Sad to know that we pay exorbitant taxes to fund a government consisting of untrustworthy pathological liars.
One point I meant to make is that our bureaucrats likely have far, far more reason to lie than the Taiwanese scientist.
Fauci needs to answer for is buddy Ralph Baric who is neck deep in splicing coronaviruses, but when discussing the origin species for CCV said:
What is the reservoir species of SARS-CoV-2?
They have not identified the actual reservoir species. Reports show that pangolins are potentially the intermediate host, but pangolin viruses are 88–98% identical to SARS-CoV-2. In comparison, civet and racoon dog strains of SARS coronaviruses were 99.8% identical to SARS-CoV from 2003. In other words, we are talking about a handful of mutations between civet strains, racoon dog strains and human strains in 2003. Pangolins [strains of CoV2] have over 3000 nucleotide changes, no way they are the reservoir species. Absolutely no chance.
In other words, a biological weapon.
