Gottlieb says there’s growing circumstantial evidence that Covid may have originated in a lab
CNBC ^

Posted on 05/24/2021 8:40:43 AM PDT by qwerty1234

Evidence that Covid-19 originally leaked from a Wuhan virology lab is growing, Dr. Scott Gottlieb told CNBC Monday, pointing to reports that three researchers from the lab sought hospital care with a Covid-like illness in November 2019.

“People a year ago who said this probably came from nature, it’s really unlikely it came from a lab, maybe a year ago that kind of a statement made a lot of sense because that was the more likely scenario,” said Gottlieb, the former head of the Food and Drug Administration. “But we haven’t found the true source of this virus.”

So basically, once again, Trump was right and the entire left wing media that ridiculed him for it were wrong....again.

Trust the ever changing science.

So CNBC engages in conspiracy stories now/again?

“The president and his allies have repeatedly touted the theory – for which there is no evidence – that an infectious disease lab in Wuhan, the center of the Chinese outbreak, was the source of the global pandemic that has killed more than 220,000 worldwide.”

Fauci told everyone since this began...that lab beginnings were ridiculous...and everyone was a nutty conspirator...including President Trump.

The fact that Fauci has changed his mind tells me that he knows something is about to break.

Uh, except for the facts that -

- the first reported outbreaks happened less than 20 miles from the lab

- the lab included the infamous "virus lady" scientist who got kicked out of Canada's Winnipeg Level 4 biolab for stealing highly-contagious viruses

- this lab was teamed up with American researchers to develop more-lethal virus variants

- Commie China is fighting like hell to stop any full investigation of the virus's origins

- Commie China has a long history of lying to us.

It's really only a “more likely” scenario if you're a naive, cuckold, uninformed, commie sympathizing leftist ignoramus.

It seemed obvious that this was a possibility.

So why all the effort to sweep this under the rug?

*************

Now the question is who paid for the research and funded the lab? Its unlikely we will ever find out as the DC establishment doesn’t want to investigate it.

The American goal of bioweapons research is to look for antidotes and protection.

The Chinese Communist goal is find a virus or other bioweapon that has no cure and can spread rapidly against the enemy.

Because Trump said it - *anything* Trump said was immediately labeled a lie by the main misleadia, thats why.

I will say this is not new from Gottlieb. He has always been open to the idea, not necessarily that it was leaked intentionally on their own population, but that crappy controls may have led to its escape.

I hope that arrogant little weasel is caught by the Chinese letters for Fauci all over the scandal. Our agent dear friend Fao-Chi.

Should we listen to people that are this slow and behind to admit what we’ve already known for so long?!

They must not be that bright.

1. To hurt and disparage Trump.

2. To appease China, which has part ownership of our media.

Anybody with half a brain knew this match last year

That being said. Nobody has actually isolated this virus

Best research says it’s just politicized and repackaged influenza A/B

Ok, so a nasty virus just naturally pops up as a neighbor to the Wuhan lab. The location of the lab makes sense now, the Chinese, WHO, and Dr Fauci are brilliant in knowing exactly where viruses begin naturally. Of course, you would want a lab there.

I’m still in wonder why so many people allow the stupid excuses the left throws around. My kids told better lies at the age of 4.

"there's growing circumstantial evidence that Covid may have originated in a lab"
The evidence hasn't changed nor "grown"
The only thing that's changed is we now have a different person in the role of POTUS.
