Five Facts about China’s Wet Markets
American Thinker ^ | 04/16/2020 | Ron F. Hale

Posted on 04/16/2020 6:34:36 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The wet markets in Wuhan, China, are incubators of global pandemics. Dr. Anthony Fauci believes they should be shut down immediately. He said, “It boggles my mind how, when we have so many diseases that emanate out of that unusual human-animal interface, that we just don’t shut it down.”

Our U.S. intelligence community has evidence that Chinese government officials are hiding the truth concerning the extent of the coronavirus outbreak in China. Underestimating Chinese deaths and total cases of the virus only broadens the breach of trust between communist China and our nation.

Even Chinese citizens of Wuhan, the epicenter of the disease, are skeptical of official government estimates as they see thousands of ash urns outside funeral homes in their city.

Here’s a look into China’s wet markets, places where the exotic and epidemic has already become pandemic.

Fact 1. Wet Markets sell freshly slaughtered meat and fish, and water is used to wash away potential stench and sickness

Most farmer’s markets in the U.S. can be considered dry markets. Local farmers and vendors come to sell their fruits, vegetables, and various goods. Frozen and processed beef, pork, and chicken are the only meats sold at my hometown farmers market.

Around the world, the sights, sounds, and smells at “wet markets” are much different. You can see exotic and indigenous animals locked in cages or fish melting on ice. Blood is splattered on the ground as animals are slaughtered on the premises. The reek of animal urine, feces, and blood grows stronger as the temperature rises. Vendors seek to wash away animal droppings and body fluids with their water hoses and buckets -- thus the name, wet markets.

Fact 2. Zoonotic diseases are uniquely problematic to the wet markets in mainland China

Fact 3. COVID-19 did not originate with American soldiers in Wuhan, China.

Fact 4. The Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan, China is believed to be the source of the early cases of COVID-19.

Fact 5. On February 25, the Chinese legislature banned the buying, selling, and eating of wild animals to prevent zoonotic diseases jumping from animals to humans.

The Military World Games were held in Wuhan on October 18-27, 2019, and 300 U.S. military personnel participated, along with soldiers from around the globe. While none of these soldiers tested positive for the coronavirus, they became the perfect foil for a conspiracy theory.

On March 12, Zhao Lijian, Communist China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, wrote on Twitter, “When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation!”

Reality ----

"Birth of a virus"

In the category of cold, hard reality, and NSFW –

From https://regiehammblog.wordpress.com/2020/02/27/birth-of-a-virus/

“Regie’s Blog – BIRTH OF A VIRUS”

As I watched my neighbor put her dog’s poop in a single-use plastic baggy, I thought about split pants in China.

When my wife and I got off the plane, 18 years ago, to adopt our first daughter, we were taken aback by the split pants. Split pants are (or at least were, back then) pants the children wear that are open in the crotch area. That allows them to … [use your imagination -_Jim]

Either way, I distinctly remember my brand new Nike slip-ons (probably made not far from where I was standing) sloshing into a mix of urine and who knows what else, and continuing to do so for the next three weeks.

As I started feeling the cough coming on, I remember one of the women in our group saying, at one of the airports (as she too, stepped into urine) “The people in this country probably have built up antibodies inside them our bodies have never even thought about.”

Chines ‘wet markets’ have existed for countless generations. There are now more Chinese than ever. Explain!

RE: Chines ‘wet markets’ have existed for countless generations. There are now more Chinese than ever. Explain!

1) There are wet markets ALL OVER THE WORLD, INCLUDING HERE IN THE USA. They have existed FOR CENTURIES.

2) Bats were NOT SOLD in the Wuhan Wet Market.

3) The Bats where the source of the virus transmission was, DID NOT EXIST in Wuhan. They came from caves hundreds of miles away.

4) There were two Wuhan Government labs, one a Chinese CDC lab and the other a virology lab studying coronoviruses and experimenting on animals including bats.

Put them together and we have a possible answer to the origins of the pandemic.

A couple of weeks ago Trump was asked about closing the wet markets and said we are aware of them but not on the top things we are looking into. That is when I concluded he must be pretty sure it is a bioweapon.

Leaked State Department cables add weight to the theory that COVID-19 started in a Wuhan virology lab

The Blaze ^ | April 15, 2020 | Phil Silver
Posted on 4/16/2020, 6:17:50 AM by Twotone

In 2018 — nearly two years before the start of the global coronavirus pandemic — U.S. officials in China sent warnings to Washington expressing safety concerns over a Wuhan facility’s research into coronaviruses in horseshoe bats, adding weight to the theory that the novel virus originated in a lab and not at a Wuhan wet market.

The news broke in a report Wednesday by Josh Rogin of the Washington Post, who said that he obtained access to the first of two diplomatic cables sent from State Department officials who had visited the Wuhan Institute of Virology in January and March 2018.

According to Rogin, in January 2018, the U.S. Embassy in Beijing sent American science diplomats to the Wuhan lab, which had in 2017 become the first lab in China to achieve BSL-4 clearance, or the highest level of bioresearch safety. That clearance — granted by a Chinese accrediting agency — allowed researchers at the lab to study the world’s most dangerous pathogens.

Evidently, what the U.S. officials discovered during their visits concerned them so much that they proceeded to send two Sensitive But Unclassified cables back to Washington. In the first cable, according to Rogin, the officials warned that inadequate safety measures and risky research could result in a new SARS-like pandemic.

“During interactions with scientists at the WIV laboratory, they noted the new lab has a serious shortage of appropriately trained technicians and investigators to safely operate this high-containment laboratory,” states the Jan. 19, 2018 cable.

“Most importantly...the researchers also showed that various SARS-like coronaviruses can interact with ACE2, the human receptor identified for SARS-coronavirus. This finding strongly suggests that SARS-like coronaviruses from bats can be transmitted to humans to cause SARS-like diseases. “

Bump. This horrible disease didn’t come from a wet market.

It came from a ChiCom lab making deadly viruses like this virus.

The Wet Market con job is getting recycled as more reality about the Chicoms developing and releasing this deadly killer of innocent people around the world.

“The Wet Market con job is getting recycled...”

This is what mind control looks like....

This is Operation Mockingbird
https://youtu.be/_RHKmOovMfM

The DUmocrats have a playbook...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUkzrwTFv6A

As Natzi calls it, the “WRAP-UP SMEAR”. It goes as follows:

1. LIE about your opponent.

2. Send LIE to media, who willingly share with their other cohorts for publication from many sources.

3. Merchandise the lie (Mockingbird). Sell it to the TV talking heads

4. Fein outrage over the LIE.

As the cycle repeats...just rinse and repeat. The media are using it now to generate fear with the goal of trapping republicans as culpable for the loss of life (while ignoring that it occurs in predominantly DUmocrat-heavy populations).

When I was going up my father and grandfather operated a wet market.....we called it a farm. People would come by all the time and buy freshly slaughtered animal by products. There was no refrigeration...they did all of it in a place they called ...a barn!!!

Why would you think an “EXOTIC” animals piss would be any more dangerous than any other animals piss. This was not caused by bats!!!
