Congress Must Pursue Answers About the Origin of COVID-19
Newsweek ^ | 5/27/21 | Rand Paul

Posted on 05/27/2021 3:45:23 PM PDT by conservative98

What are the odds of a coronavirus pandemic randomly occurring naturally within miles of a lab that creates a juiced-up coronavirus, and that stores more coronavirus samples than any place in the world?

Government authorities in the U.S., including Dr. Fauci, after unequivocally denying that COVID-19 could have escaped a lab, now conveniently say they are open to the idea of investigating the origins of the virus.

Before they were called out, the original claim that COVID-19 originated in a market in Wuhan was the popular explanation for Dr. Fauci and his friends. But the World Health Organization's initial investigation did not find any animals infected with the coronavirus, meaning there's no proof of animal-to-human transmission at the Wuhan market and other markets nearby.

Investigate important matters, like the origin of Covid 19. Nothing is less important than the continued Gaslighting by the criminal Democrats in their attempt to falsify history, abuse law and governmental power, with their idiotic Jan 6th fraud.

It’s not that big of a deal.

The origin is gain of function research, somewhere. The virus that became COVID was, obviously, at Wuhan in the Fall of 2019. It may or may not have been crafted there, or in North Carolina, or in Canada.

The idea that it could have been contained once Wuhan exploded is a fantasy about an imaginary world. We didn’t shut down travel for SARS and it never would have happened for this, no matter what China did or didn’t do or say.

The deepest secret would be collusion to force vote by mail to allow the election steal.

Why? They know where it came from and they were complicit.

If clear evidence is found that the ChiComs deliberately released the ChiCom virus (especially if they had given the virus a gain-of-function), that would constitute a crime against humanity, if not an act of war.

What will Congress do then?

A government that steals a presidential election from the voters and then makes it virtually impossible for the voters to complain about said theft in public doesn’t have to do a damn thing it doesn’t want to do.

Newsweak would not have published this OP-ED just a few months ago, calling any such opinions “nationalist”, “xenophobic” and “fringe”. They even tried to blame Trump for black on Asian crime to blunt the push for investigation. That Newsweak suddenly approves such content tells me the CCP has approved some limited push for investigation, but the fix is in. Our Intelligence Community will likely work with China and the WHO to officially “debunk” the lab theory. I would be surprised to see actual investigation by the IC, but it will be embarrassing if foreign intel agencies from India, Israel or elsewhere come up with a smoking gun, so they will have to hedge their report as “inconclusive” or some other weasel words.

The “vaccine” was not made for the virus.

The virus was made for the “vaccine”.

Occam's Razor is alive and well hiding in Saint Anthony's pocket.

The "science" of contact tracing indicates 3 otherwise healthy lab workers were in the local hospital with COVID-like symptoms. No bats, no pangolins, nothing natural, no wet market, and nothing indicating animal-to-human exposure.

Science, logic, and math have determined that money went from the US Gubmint to an NGO to the Communist Chinese for "gain of function" lab work in Wuhan.

The science of linguistics has determined that the term "gain of function" is an Orwellian term for weaponizing a virus for intentional widespread infections against political enemies.

Science can be useful to solve this crime.

We are seeing the deployment of a good old fashioned modified limited hang out. So we’ll get a lab leak theory and not a bio weapon attack.

I can’t stand these people. They have no shame. We were saying this very thing over a year ago and we were called racist wingnuts.

Personally I subscribe to occam’s razor theories. No need to ascribe to malice what can easily be explained by mere incompetence. Though I wouldn’t put it past “them” to unleash a virus for political gain. My personal opinion is, it came from a lab and somehow leaked out; either because they are incompetent boobs, or the lab was not as secure as they claimed, or some janitor sold the infected animal meat to the wet market instead of incinerating it like he was supposed to.

Did read that several Wuhan viral lab employees went to the hospital in late October or early November with covid symptoms. Can’t verify that obviously, just one of a million news stories I’ve read.
