China, Fauci and the Origins of Covid Did the virus come from a Chinese lab funded by the celebrated doctor’s U.S. government institute?
WSJ ^ | May 7, 2021 4:39 pm ET | By James Freeman

Before Covid-19 ravaged the world, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases funded coronavirus research that included work at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology. The idea was to study the ability of such viruses to attack humans, but could a Fauci-funded experiment actually be the source of the deadly global infection? In an exhaustive account of the viral possibilities published this week by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Nicholas Wade argues that the Chinese lab is the most likely source of the world-wide agony.

Report says cellphone data suggests October shutdown at Wuhan lab, but experts are skeptical

WASHINGTON — A private analysis of cellphone location data purports to show that a high-security Wuhan laboratory studying coronaviruses shut down in October, three sources briefed on the matter told NBC News.

This is the article which the article wrote about

_________________

TRUE! Read it yesterday. It tells how sloppy the Chinese labs were when doing their effin “gain of function” research that Fauci originally got funded here. Then got it refunded in China via bureaucratic trickery.

If you want the best account go the below URL. Wade takes apart everything.

I wish I had the medical knowledge, the resources, and clues
to what is not discussed regarding this issue. I think if
anyone with those areas of expertise could publish an
exhaustive timeline, starting with background info and
testimony about the Wuhan Virology Lab, and then begin the
timeline from November of 2019, through January, February,
March and April of 2020, would be a decisive effort, well
worth the work.

It would include what was publicly known about the virus,
and when. Also what was kept secret or lied about during
these times. This might be very illuminating, and very
incriminating. The CCP’s actions would show the way to real
investigation, and possibly a path for justice.

But, I am not optimistic, as China has no impetus for
cooperation and disclosure beyond what we know now, and
the Democrat Party must actively coverup their complicity
and opportunism in this whole deadly affair.

I think so. Heard he was studying it in a lab in NY. They shut it down so he moved it to wuhan. Cant prove it.

> Psychiatrists and psychologists have been doing this for years. Phony destructive “treatments” that turn people into lunatics and killers. Then claiming “We got to them too late”. Give us more money to fix it.” Then the problem gets worse.

Also unscrupulous auto mechanics. The latter is probably more common (at least outside of NYC, haha).

Dr. Fallacy isn’t accidentally wrong about things. He was covering up a trail.

The trail of the ChiCom Virus leads right back to Dr. Fallacy.

“everyone is focusing on the L4 lab which may actually have nothing to do with it.”

Because the Wuhan Level IV Lab is the highest and most dangerous place where these viruses were cultivated.

There’s overwhelming evidence why the Wuhan Level IV Biolab is highlighted.

It’s where the ChiComs’ PLA worked and coordinated bioweapons. The genome sequencing of the coronavirus by the ChiCom Bat Lady was there.

There’s no getting around any of this.

“a bristling array of implausibilities.” Just like our last Presidential election. Too coincidental for me. It all fits together.

Covid19 is not the kind of virus you would see in a L4 lab, it simply is not that dangerous.

The real problem, however, was not the unsafe state of the Wuhan BSL4 lab but the fact that virologists worldwide don’t like working in BSL4 conditions. You have to wear a space suit, do operations in closed cabinets, and accept that everything will take twice as long. So the rules assigning each kind of virus to a given safety level were laxer than some might think was prudent.

Before 2020, the rules followed by virologists in China and elsewhere required that experiments with the SARS1 and MERS viruses be conducted in BSL3 conditions.
But all other bat coronaviruses could be studied in BSL2, the next level down. BSL2 requires taking fairly minimal safety precautions, such as wearing lab coats and gloves, not sucking up liquids in a pipette, and putting up biohazard warning signs.
Yet a gain-of-function experiment conducted in BSL2 might produce an agent more infectious than either SARS1 or MERS. And if it did, then lab workers would stand a high chance of infection, especially if unvaccinated.

Much of Shi’s work on gain-of-function in coronaviruses was performed at the BSL2 safety level, as is stated in her publications and other documents. She has said in an interview with Science magazine that “[t]he coronavirus research in our laboratory is conducted in BSL-2 or BSL-3 laboratories.”

“It is clear that some or all of this work was being performed using a biosafety standard — biosafety level 2, the biosafety level of a standard US dentist’s office — that would pose an unacceptably high risk of infection of laboratory staff upon contact with a virus having the transmission properties of SARS-CoV-2,”

That Little Bastard Fauci paid China to invent Covid 19, then China released it as a Bio-weapon to get Trump out of office because he was hurting China in their Pocketbook. IT WORKED!

A good mechanic is always busy. You see a car repair business that isn’t busy they are likely crooks
