Fox had a Chinese scientist who said the DNA sequencing found in the Covid virus. News Week published an article about 2 years ago where international investigators linked by the internet hunted down the source of the virus. Seems some miners mining guano in northern China died of a SARS type virus. Scientist from Wuhan captured some bats from the mine and isolated several viruses. The location of the mine was located from papers published out of Wuhan lab and collaborated by news stories from the area. People from the investigation group tried to visit the mine, the mine was sealed with military guards. The group got papers from the Wuhan that were scrubbed as the pandemic unfolded that described the gain of function on the bats. No way did this materialize with genetic manipulation in a wet market

Thank you, that’s really quite a compliment.
I do strive to improve daily.

It was just a test run.

Scientists were suspicious from the get go just seeing the furin cleavage site, but then the evidence continued to mount up. They found Moderna patented sequences in the mix, and the HIV sequence gp120. They’ve finally found enough evidence that lab origin is the only possibility. Now the only questions are which lab(s), which country (or countries) were responsible, and whether it was released intentionally or not. I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion that this was all China, plenty of conflicting evidence showing that might not be the case. But there’s no doubt this was a bioweapon developed in the lab.

“ Foreign laboratories did not have the adequate control measures in place for ensuring proper biosafety, biosecurity, and risk management, ultimately resulting in the lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” he said in his book, which was exclusively excerpted in the newspaper.”

Yes. I’ve thought from day one it was poor procedure, probably on the part of the non-scientist support staff.

See this:

The Chabuduo Mindset

If you come from the West, you are likely used to things being done according to specifications and high standards. You probably wouldn’t expect less than 100%.

Not so in China. In China, the typical approach is summed up in one word: “chabuduo”, meaning “nearly” or “almost”. For most Chinese it also means “good enough”. You will hear this term a lot.

Chabuduo差不多 – Good enough or not quite?

Tony, an Italian friend and business owner, asked his Chinese employee to clean up a document, add a vertical line on the left and have all text aligned with that line. When he was handed the document back, the requested line was there, some text was aligned with it but some still wasn’t.

When Tony pointed out to his employee that not everything lined up perfectly, she was genuinely surprised. From her perspective the alignment was “chabuduo”, good enough.

Etc…

It’s somehow expected that one of the first living things scientists create in a lab is being used to murder billions.

The question is what were they trying to do when it leaked? Was it a bio weapons project gone awry?

 

One key point that has been obscured in the media narrative is that there is simply no such thing as "purely civilian" research under the CCP.  Everything can be, at least, dual use, and virology is no exception.

 

OF course they were looking for a bio weapon, but that doesn't mean they were also publishing relevant research in the open literature.  The CCP isn't exactly making a secret of their ambition to be the worlds de-facto ruler, and they are certainly not above killing a few million people to advance that goal.

I’ve been on the “lab origin” bandwagon since March of 2020, based only on the circumstantial evidence at the time. Starting with the very first reports about a new virus coming from a “wet market”. The way that was closed and hosed down that market looked more like an attempt to destroy evidence, or at least re-direct attention, anywhere except the WIV.

Just too many factors suggesting that the WIV was the source.

One problem with getting to the truth has been the consistent straw-manning that has surrounded any discussion of the WIV as the source. This was more common in the media early on, but one can still find figures making unsupported claims that this or that feature of the viral genome proves dispositively that the lab didn’t just lose control of a virus, but they specifically engineered it as a bio-weapon and released it intentionally.

Now, I suspect that the bio-weapon angle (at least) has some truth to it, but the over-broad claims have mostly been attempts to discredit those wanting to take a closer look at the WIV, and our own government’s ties and involvement.

If this Dr. Huff turns out to be legit, his description of events could do much to solidify just what the NIH and WIV were up to , and how they might have gone about lying to the world about what they had done.

Later research on the Covid 19 virus showed. that one reason that covid was so virulent was because it had a never seen before ability to hide from the immune system for a critical 36-72 hours which allowed the virus to achieve critical mass viral load for serious infection before the body recognized it was present.

If you happen to remember any links for this one, I'd love to read them.

IIRC, GreatGameIndia found the HIV sequences even before the COVID quarantines started.

“It was an American bio-weapon. We have all been exposed to a bio-weapon.”

Wrong.

It’s a Chinese bioweapon that they were developing to release on Taiwan in preparation for their forced “unification”.

Little Anthony mengele started the ball rolling with his illegal gain of function research. When his program was shut down, it got shipped to China where the research was taken over by the PLA bioweapons lab in Wuhan.

The camps also protected the country from further deliberate sabotage and acts of war during World War II.


A side note:

This was demanded by the Japanese Govt that their people be rounded up and returned. We also demanded the same of Americans in Japan.

LOL, not quite. It does make one appreciate the Kabuki Dance that President Trump was forced to perform.

He knew the Wuham Flu was no big deal, but had to pretend like he took it seriously. Donald Trump is too much the Elite Businessman to get taken in by PFE. Operation Warp Speed was his way of controlling the Vaccine on his own terms. And where things went off the tracks, the buck stops at the top, and in this case that is Mike Pence. He was the Head of the Corona Task Force.
