Several of the doctors and journalists who reported on the spread early on have disappeared...

Wonder if international pressure might make it possible for the doctors and journalists to "reappear"?

[Fury]

It would seem that there is a drip, drip of stories from unlikely media outlets about China’s perfidy in this whole mess.

I found a way to read the whole article. Thank you.

In all probability this virus was from the lab in Wuhan probably from just research or perhaps even bio weapon research. Those damn bats did not live within 800 miles of the wet meat market in Wuhan. It did not start in that market.

I think it was poor control in that bio-lab that let a virus out that was being studied for legitimate research or bio weapon research.

“The cable was a warning shot,” one U.S. official said. “They were begging people to pay attention to what was going on.”

Actually, this article looks like w warning shot, maybe by a group of good guys in the State Department. They not only have the goods on this, but it's convincing enough that the US media will see it's pointless to try to hide it and will pivot to chasing pulitzers instead.

The doctors and journalists will be on the next episode of the Walking Dead.

Sorry it’s the Post. Fool me once shame on you.....

“The cable was a warning shot,” one U.S. official said. “They were begging people to pay attention to what was going on.”

my first question... if this is true, how can the US just move people in to “Approve” of a chinese Lab?? fkn stupid...

The official position of the State, is that a global nuclear catastrophe is not possible in the Soviet Union.

How come the State Department “science diplomats” never informed the Trump White House or Secretary of State Pompeo?

Instead, an unnamed source leaks the internal State Department correspondence to a reporter for one of the most anti-Trump newspapers in America?
