Sources believe coronavirus originated in Wuhan lab as part of China's efforts to compete with US
Fox News ^ | 15 Apr 20 | Bret Baier

Posted on 04/15/2020 4:36:29 PM PDT by SkyPilot

EXCLUSIVE: COVID-19 originated in a Wuhan laboratory not as a bioweapon, but as part of China's effort to demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States, multiple sources who have been briefed on the details of early actions by China's government and seen relevant materials tell Fox News.

This may be the "costliest government coverup of all time," one of the sources said.

The sources believe the initial transmission of the virus was bat-to-human, and that "patient zero" worked at the laboratory, then went into the population in Wuhan. Asked by Fox News' John Roberts about the reporting, President Trump remarked at Wednesday's coronavirus press briefing, "More and more we're hearing the story...we are doing a very thorough examination of this horrible situation."

Documents detail early efforts by doctors at the lab and early efforts at containment. The Wuhan wet market initially identified as a possible point of origin never sold bats, and the sources tell Fox News that blaming the wet market was an effort by China to deflect blame from the laboratory, along with the country's propaganda efforts targeting the U.S. and Italy.

U.S. Embassy officials warned in January 2018 about inadequate safety at the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab and passed on information about scientists conducting risky research on coronavirus from bats, The Washington Post reported Tuesday...…

Additionally, the sources tell Fox News the World Health Organization (WHO) was complicit from the beginning in helping China cover its tracks.

This is an act of war.

The question is: what now?

It’s weird that all of a sudden the media is pushing the lab scenario

Wonder if it has anything to do with the investigation that Trump is going to do into the WHO organization.

They know Trump is right and are trying to get a head of the story so they don’t get Trump’d again

It’s the only thing that makes sense for the sudden turn around.

Something is about to break

If this is true then the name SARS-CoV-2 is wrong intentionally. This virus should be called SARS-CoV-zumab for humanized from an animal to humans.

FOX “news” is the organ of Romney and Soros
who, with Gates, made quite certain Wuhan had
killing capability to lower population for
the MadGlobalists.

IT IS NO surprise therefore that FOX “news” will try
to gloss over this first act of WW3 launched by Xi.

China’s Chernobyl or Chinobyl

USSR Nuclear race to build as many nuke plants as possible to generate as much weapon’s grade plutonium. Nuclear reactor blows up and USSR played dumb but we caught them with a spy satellite then was scanning the area a few hours after it blew up. They were peeved that we knew. They were trying to keep it a secret.

There does seem to be a pivot happening in the story.

"Sources believe"...
Now THERE'S a "catch-all" phras if I've ever heard one.

It USED to be: "British scientists say...."

Lol!

Who writes these titles. “Sources believe”. No, sources know and have known.

When the media pivots like this all at the same time I get very suspicious.

I have said all along it came from that lab. The only question is was it man made and was it released with intention.

I agree.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff made a statement today. A bit of dancing on the head of a pin, but I can read between the lines:

"Responding to the report, Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Tuesday afternoon: "It should be no surprise to you that we have taken a keen interest in that and we've had a lot of intelligence take a hard look at that. I would just say at this point, it's inconclusive, although the weight of evidence seems to indicate natural, but we don't know for certain."

The corrupt US media will try and say Trump is lying, but the international media is also following these developments.

All debts China holds of ours should be erased. The damage they’ve done is incalculable.

Yes, it is a war crime.

Also from the article:

There were doctors and journalists who were "disappeared" warning of the spread of the virus and its contagious nature and human to human transmission.

I guess we can't expect the U.N. Human Rights Committee to investigate.

China holds about $1.2 Trillion in our debt.

Yes, I agree. Tell them we don't owe them a penny on that debt. AND - we demand $6 Trillion from them for the cost of this.
