Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton says Coronavirus may have originated in Wuhan 'Super Laboratory'

The Arkansas Republican cited a study published by the Lancet that showed of the original 40 cases in Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak, 14 people who contracted the virus never set foot in the Wuhan wildlife market where Chinese authorities have claimed the virus originated.

"As one epidemiologist said, 'That virus went into the seafood market before it came out of the seafood market.' We still don't know where it originated," Cotton said. "I would note that Wuhan also has China's only biosafety level four super laboratory that works with the world's most deadly pathogens to include, yes, coronavirus."

The Washington Times reported last week that Wuhan Institute of Virology is the only laboratory in China capable of working with such deadly pathogens.

@SenTomCotton
China claimed—for almost two months—that coronavirus had originated in a Wuhan seafood market. That is not the case. @TheLancet published a study demonstrating that of the original 40 cases, 14 of them had no contact with the seafood market, including Patient Zero.

I’m envisioning an Ark with the words ‘TRUMP RALLY’ on it!

[CondoleezzaProtege]

Yes I notice less online search results also for the conclusions of Israeli scientists/intelligence officials who also voiced Cotton’s concerns.

If they created/manipulated this, and then allowed it to escape - the whole exercise seems to have been conducted according to predictable Communist ‘efficiency’.

(Communists have historically been more ‘efficient’ at killing people than at anything else.)

[granada]

Lol. Crazy South Koreans and Arabs used to accuse Israeli scientists of being the producer of MERS coronavirus.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

They are saying that case is still being investigated but it has nothing to do with this. Official position

Yeah and Barr is investigating the deep state and Durham will be convicting any day now. Greatgameindia.com has been investigating into the corona virus since March of 2019. Only place to go if you want the truth

[JudgemAll]

Yep, this an advanced mutation, 4 or 5 generations ahead. It had been accelerated.

First topic on hourly news was the coronavirus. Cited 30,000 total cases and 400 deaths. That is 1.3%.

And all of those numbers come from the Lying Communist Chineese.

Then inoculate your populace.

But how do you inoculate your populace against a disease that hasn’t been released yet?

One way would be to have a vaccine that spreads like a virus, then you don’t have to openly inoculate anyone.

And maybe that was the intention here, but somebody took the wrong bottle to the wet market and opened it.

Oops.

[bigbob]

Well here’s an ugly thought: I have no doubt the virus came out of their BSL4 lab, but “how”? The whole point of a BSL4 lab is to contain these things and this lab was only 15 years old and had all the modern safeguards.

Pure speculation on my part but we know there are lots of people in China who are unhappy with the ChiCom government. Young people, the kind who get advanced degrees and go to work in government labs. It’s not outside the realm of possibility that someone intentionally took the coronovirus out of the lab with the intention of using it to create mayhem or threaten to do so for political purposes.

As I say, just speculation. But the mere possibility is something the CCP would never admit.

I thought the Indian ‘research’ was just disinfo.

[LibWhacker]

Cited 30,000 total cases and 400 deaths. That is 1.3%.

Some of those 30,000 cases will eventually be put in the non-survivor column. So they're grossly underestimating the fatality rate if that's how they calculated it.

Greatgameindia is associated with the Lyndon LaRouche organization.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

I think we underestimate China’s control over even the *global* flow of information...and I suspect it has much financial hold over the very corporations that control our own press...

[txnativegop]

if that is so, those corporations need to be completely destroyed, permanently.
