Covid-19 - The Wuhan lab leak theory reappraised: This issue deserves the attention of the media and policymakers of both parties.

Bipartisan investigations are a rarity in Washington, D.C. The constituencies likely to be affected or to suffer collateral damage are usually enough to derail them from gaining momentum. Affix the term "disinformation" to the claim in need of investigation, and the chances of a genuine inquiry plummet from hardly ever to "forget about it." Such is the current trajectory of the need to explore the origin of COVID-19.

We now know that intelligence officials and top diplomats studied the issue in the spring of 2020 and concluded that the virus "most likely" came from a lab. In keeping with their history of suppressing any news that could be damaging to the regime, the Chinese have stridently opposed entertaining the question.

We also know from public records that many of the world's top scientists, including those from our nation's own health agencies, went to extremes to prevent the question from being asked early on in the pandemic, with help from media and tech firms. These damning revelations took nearly two years to emerge, and the same forces that suppressed the information early on have responded by ignoring them.

Conflict-free academic analysis has similarly been a slow-moving process. Those knowledgeable enough about the science and willing to face the ire of officials who control the government funding levers have been few and far between. This is what makes a recent article by economist Jeffrey Sachs and professor of molecular pharmacology and therapeutics Dr. Neil Harrison an important development.

The good news: "[T]here are troves of untapped evidence potentially available right here in the United States that have not yet been investigated."  If true, this would overcome one of the biggest hurdles to date: the Chinese government's resistance to participating in any review.

Isn’t it odd that the people who don’t know the ChiCom Flu is from a lab are the people whose job it is to know?

There needs to be accountability for China, whether for willful negligence or intentional action.

Just observing the CCP’s early behavior was enough to convince me back in March of 2020 that this came from the Wuhan Institute of virology.

What’s become clear is that the CCP has coopted our institutions at every level. It’s got to be more than just payoffs, they’ve got to have extensive “leverage”. Daszak is dirty without question. Whether Fauci is corrupt in the conventional fashion is up in the air, but there’s no doubt that he knew that he had, for whatever reason, mislead Congress about the NIH’s involvement in gain-of-function research, which is motive enough for a cover up.

So, we know, but cannot prove in court that the original bug leaked from the WIV. The question now, is what else are they hiding?

Won’t happen because both parties more than likely colluded to make CoVID happen.

It will not be investigated. Seems to me that humans should be demanding an investigation..... crickets. It really baffles me.

One way to get to the bottom of this...

There are American corporations and universities that had boots on the ground in Wuhan in late 2019 and early 2020.

What did they know and when did they know it?

If they did know something, was it reported?

If so, to whom? And what was reported?

If not, why not?

Inquiring minds want to know.

RE: This article is ridicoulous,the freakin thing came from China courtesy of Anthony Fauci and his fellow scientists

That’s exactly what the article stated. Note this paragraph in the article :

“Meanwhile, in 2014, Baric, EHA, and WIV received a grant from NIAID to enhance the infectiousness of bat-based coronaviruses. This needs to be investigated, and Baric, EHA, and NIAID need to be forced to testify.”
