Researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were investigating coronaviruses in high-risk bat species from Laos prior to the pandemic, leaked documents revealed.
The findings lend more weight to the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 leaked out from a Wuhan laboratory before causing a global pandemic, according to Daily Mail. They also suggest that it might be possible that both the bat origin theory of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lab-leak theory could be simultaneously true.
According to a Sunday report from The Telegraph, scientists in September came across a coronavirus strain named Banal-52 in Laos. Banal-52 shared 96.8 percent of its genome with SARS-CoV-2.
While, according to the Telegraph, the discovery of Banal-52 and its similarity with Sars-CoV-2 strengthened hypotheses which argued that the source of the pandemic was a natural spillover instead of a lab escape, it raised questions of how Banal-52 could have somehow given rise to SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan over 1,000 miles away.
Leaked emails between EcoHealth Alliance and U.S. government funders provide some answers to those questions, according to reporting from the Telegraph.
U.S.-based bipartisan group White Coat Waste Project got access to these emails through a Freedom of Information Request, the outlet reported.
These emails revealed that between June 2017 and May 2019, the Wuhan Institute of Virology received viral samples of “bats and other high-risk species” from Laos, according to the reports.
Prior to Banal-52’s discovery, the EcoHealth Alliance was looking at other bat viruses, including in Yunnan, China, and sending them to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
One such virus is RaTG13, also remarkably similar genetically to Sars-Cov-2. RaTG13 was first discovered in a horseshoe bat in a Yunnan mineshaft that the Chinese government denies researchers access to, according to Daily Mail.

That’s been obvious since day one.
Why would anyone doing “bio-war” research team up with the Chinese to do it?
Almost immediately after the COVID breakout, China blamed the U.S.
We laughed. Maybe they were RIGHT! Scratch that. They WERE right.
China CCP working with Americans to reduce (eliminate most humans) from the planet, to SAVE it.
Yes, it is possible......................
Because they are communists
Maybe because it was illegal in their own country?
Sick...something is really sick in our liberal ‘elites’...
I hope when we win back congress they go after Fauci and the rest of the crooks involved with what happened.

Yea, no time after Trump told cheez to get ready to pay they released it..
It has been a war plan and they have just started, they must accelerate, we now have taliban etc in good numbers here, etc etc..
They know the Republicans cannot get in power with the knowledge of the treason they committed..
We saw the media hurricane not totally work, then covid, then elections, now open borders and folk vaccinated dying at higher rates than the unvaccinated, there are more plans, and we have been very foolish..
