Biden’s CDC Director Now Says Lab Origin of COVID-19 a “Possibility”: It's No longer a “conspiracy theory.”
Summit News ^ | 05/21/2021 | Paul Joseph Watson

During a hearing on the pandemic, Joe Biden’s CDC Director Rochelle Walensky acknowledged that there is a “possibility” that the COVID-19 virus was leaked from the Wuhan lab.

After asserting that most coronaviruses have an “animal origin,” Walensky was pressed by Senator John Kennedy into addressing “other possibilities.”

“Certainly a lab-based origin is one possibility,” said Walensky.

Last week, we highlighted an open letter signed by a group of the world’s leading scientists urging further investigation into the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

As we previously noted, after spending months trying to negotiate a visit, WHO officials largely absolved China of blame for the COVID-19 pandemic after visiting a virus lab in Wuhan for just 3 hours.

In the early weeks of the pandemic, the WHO regurgitated Chinese propaganda that there was no human to human transmission of COVID and even after acknowledging there was, the health body suggested it was racist for countries to impose border controls.

Earlier this month, an independent body ruled that the WHO could have saved 3 million lives if it had urged travel restrictions earlier.

Walensky’s predecessor Robert Redfield, who served under Donald Trump, also discussed the lab leak origin of COVID during an interview with CNN in March when he said it was the “most likely” explanation.

A prominent German scientist with the University of Hamburg also released findings in February of a year long study that concludes the most likely cause of the coronavirus pandemic was a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The establishment press and social media networks have previously attempted to bury questions about the lab origin of COVID by declaring them “conspiracy theories” and censoring information, but now there are too many prominent voices making the same argument for that to continue.

It never was a conspiracy theory. It was quickly the first assumption for those paying attention.

Fauci has some explaining to do

Committee Republicans also say “clear signs” exist that US government agencies and academic institutions “may have funded or collaborated in Gain of Function research” in Wuhan, claiming that research “was published even after the U.S. government had paused these kinds of studies in the United States due to ethical concerns over their biowarfare applicability and their potential to accidentally unleash a pandemic.”

“To protect American citizens from future pandemics, the U.S. Government must place more pressure on China to allow full, credible investigations of the source of the COVID-19 pandemic and to allow probes of the likelihood that it resulted from a lab leak,” the report continues. “The U.S. Government must also provide a full accounting of any American cooperation with the Wuhan lab’s coronavirus research, including the support of these projects through U.S. Government funds.”

Nunes and crew demand the US intelligence turn over all information it has related to COVID-19’s origins, including any possible “collaboration” between the Wuhan lab and the PRC. It also requests any evidence proving that COVID-19 emerged naturally from animals outside the lab, and whether the US intelligence community was involved in any reviews of “gain of function” research being conducted at the lab.

It’s a theory about a conspiracy, not a conspiracy theory. There must be a big difference, although I can’t say what it is.

The CDC wouldn’t say this when Trump was president.

So ridiculous. It has been common medicine, and before that folk wisdom, to separate and isolate those with contagious disease from those who don't. Someone has the flu, they stay in bed and people wave from the bedroom door. They did the same with SARS epidemic in Africa, creating isolation rooms. Taking this to a macro level is just sensible when dealing with a pandemic. Nothing whatsoever to do with race. It's "science". For real though.

It’s funny, how the last administration said this was a possibility, and those with this current administration called them xenophobic. Now their views have changed..........................

Kind of like Biden continuing to build parts of the souther wall, and children are still being caged, and our foreign policy under Trump wasn’t as screwed up as it is today.

Wah-wensky is a half wit hack who got into medical school on Daddy’s money and her own ethnicity.

No one cares what she friggin’ thinks.

I went to a one room rural school & graduated from a multi-district high school of less than 600 in 4 grades.

I had figured this out over 14 months ago.

IT is BIO-WARFARE-—Plain & simple.

The question was never whether it was true or not... the question was whether our “courageous” leaders could face up to the truth and do something about it. Obviously, they let China skate. The aussies have shown more bravery than us in holding China accountable.

“...And what was the Leprechaun’s role in this?..”

The little PIAPS-loving bassturd most likely oversaw the engineering, design, funding and implementation of it.
He has the blood of thousands, if not millions, all over his hands. IF proven, he should be hanged...publicly.

The lockdowns, the heavy-handed control - they’re about to go away, so...now Liberals will *kinda* acknowledge some truth.
