President Biden's decision to give intelligence agencies 90 days to determine the origins of the coronavirus, along with last night's revelation that US intelligence agencies have been sitting on a massive pile of evidence suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, has prompted the CCP to fire up its propaganda machine.
In comments made Thursday, a top spokesman for China's Foreign Ministry revived one of the CCP's favorite false narratives from the early days of the outbreak: the notion that the virus was created in the US (not China), and was purposefully deployed by the American military to undermine Chinese society.
Speaking on Thursday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian asked the White House to reflect on its own role in the pandemic and not "dump" responsibility on Beijing. He also demanded that Washington provide "an explanation" for a respiratory disease outbreak in northern Virginia, along with the outbreak of the "vaping disease", which occurred shortly before the pandemic began, and has been used in Chinese media to spread uncertainty about the virus's origins.
Citing the 33 million COVID-19 cases in the US and 600K deaths, Zhao asked "How safe is your conscience?"
But mostly, the comments focused on the "unexplained" disease in northern Virginia, and an unsubstantiated claim about a biolab at Maryland's Fort Detrick, which has become a hot topic on China's twitter-like Weibo. The wild claims are based on startling little evidence: the CDC issued a "cease and desist" order to halt operations at the lab over safety concerns. But that hasn't stopped speculation (bolstered by government agents) from festering that the lab might have had something to do with the outbreak.
"I also want to emphasize that the Fort Detrick base is full of suspicions. There are more than 200 biological laboratories in the United States spreading around the world. How many secrets are there?"
Zhao’s comment comes after US President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that he was giving intelligence agencies 90 days to pinpoint the origins of Covid-19. Biden said his administration would continue to push China to “participate in a full, transparent, evidence-based international investigation and to provide access to all relevant data and evidence.”
Reinforcing a statement from the Chinese Embassy in Washington, DC on Wednesday evening, Zhao called on the US to stop “ignoring facts and science” and refrain from “repeatedly clamoring to reinvestigate China.”
While there's no evidence to substantiate any of these theories, a report by WHO scientists that claimed the "lab leak" theory was possible but unlikely has been discredited in recent weeks, with the WHO promising to undertake another investigation of the virus's origins.
Fortunately for Beijing, the CCP doesn't need to rely solely on its official spokespeople to spread misleading narratives. Because just this week, a NYT reporter who has been tasked with covering the COVID-19 pandemic tweeted that it was "racist" to even talk about the Wuhan lab leak theory, despite the mounting evidence.
“Someday we will stop talking about the lab leak theory and maybe even admit its racist roots. But alas, that day is not yet here,” tweeted Mandavilli.
She faced immediate pushback and subsequently deleted the tweet, including the following comments from Glenn Greenwald: "Oh my god: I didn’t realize what her job is," remarked investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald. "Can someone explain to me why it’s racist to wonder if a virus escaped from a Chinese lab, but it’s not racist to insist that it infected humans because of Chinese wet markets? If anything, isn’t the latter more racist?" he asked.
The CCP, on the other hand, is probably happy to signal-boost anyone accusing skeptics of being racist. Since they would prefer that the world just stop talking about the virus's origins so we can move on from any talk of accountability for the government that allowed the worst pandemic in a century to escape its borders despite early warnings from scientists and doctors who were, in most cases, punished or silenced.
MD ping
So it came from there and skipped the entire country and infected someone in Washington state.
i saw something along those lines too back then,, i remember hearing about the chicoms in a lab being expelled from canada.
Facebook DOES permit this conspiracy theory to be discussed by WashPoo and other pages.
Actually, I think this falls very much on Fauci given the time frame when it was banned here under Obama...due to a ‘leak’ from one of our labs.
My best hunch is Fauci arranged for it to be given to the Wuhan Lab under the NGO Grant. That would ultimately make the virus ours to a point, we paid for it.
Over the last decade our labs have had numerous vials go missing. Along with research vials from colleges that were being smuggled out of the country and reported as last as December 2019! By Chinese military undercover as students.
FBI Investigates China-Related ‘Economic Espionage’ in All 50 States Following Arrest of Harvard Professor....

The FBI arrested a Harvard Univer. professor for lying about receiving funding from the Chinese regime to open a research lab in Wuhan, China... Also a researcher at Boston Univer. was indicted failing to disclose that he was a lieutenant in the Chinese army and a Chinese national attempted ‘to smuggle biological materials’ from a Boston medical center to China. (They have all been indicted on federal charges.)

The Chinese are trying to "Save Face"; it is part of the Oriental philosophy and culture.
Now that they are losing the propaganda war based on logic,
the Chinese govt. and complicit military are emotionally fabricating the lies.
There is only one small step until the covid virus release
could be identified as a bioweapon for economic superiority.
Similar to the emotional cry last election of :" Release the Kracken !!"
Thanks for posting this reality:
“Gaslighting” - A form of psychological manipulation in which a person or a group covertly sows seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or group, making them question their own memory, perception, or judgment.
Gaslighting is one of the many tools used by: communists, socialists, facists, progressives, democrats and liars in general.
They are in full force to blame Trump and us for their criminal virus creating killers buddies, the ChiComs!
I remember when AIDS came on the scene, there were many who believed that the HIV was created by white scientists to cull the black population. So your claim has merit.
Who knew that Ft. Dietrich has a “branch lab” in Wuhan, China? A faucian wet-dream, no doubt.
It was probably stolen from Fort Dietrich by the PRC.
And that caused death and destruction in Wuhan, China before
anywhere else.
ROTFL
China asserts that the virus started in the wet market. Do they now believe that the US infected the market?

Here’s that compliment paid to the CCP by the Biden campaign for bringing in the virus which they admitted really helped fix it to get Biden elected http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3940857/posts
Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.
THIS WAS GOING ON WHILE CCP SCIENTISTS WERE WORKING ON COVID
Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership, wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so.
All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump. In totalitarian political circles this strategy has been reported to be frequently considered Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was the CCP intention but it got away from them and went world wide and they should be made to pay
