After years of official claims to the contrary, strong new evidence suggests the virus known as SARS-CoV-2 escaped from a Chinese lab

After years of official pronouncements to the contrary, strong new evidence has emerged suggesting the virus known as SARS-CoV-2 escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

According to multiple U.S. government officials interviewed as part of a lengthy investigation by Public and Racket, the first people infected by the virus, “patients zero,” included Ben Hu, a researcher who led the WIV’s “gain-of-function” research on SARS-like coronaviruses, which increases the infectiousness of viruses.

More than three years after the pandemic’s outbreak, many around the world had given up on learning the origin of SARS-CoV-2, the highly infectious respiratory virus that has killed millions, and the response to which shut down businesses and schools, upended societies, and caused enormous collateral damage.

Public officials in the U.S. and other countries have repeatedly suggested that uncovering the pandemic’s origin may not be possible. “We may never know,” said Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who oversaw pandemic response for two administrations.

Now, answers increasingly look within reach. Sources within the US government say that three of the earliest people to become infected with SARS-CoV-2 were Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu. All were members of the Wuhan lab suspected to have leaked the pandemic virus.

Nothing here is surprising. What would be surprising is if Fraudxi and his boy Daszak actually faced justice as they should.

Escaped? Or was shown to the door in the USA?

You’re right. They treat it just like a terrible accident and nobody’s held accountable. Millions of people died because of this “accident”.

Yup. Did not escape. It was released.

And we know that Fauci funded it. And we know that Fauci “predicted” that it was coming.

All the conspiracy theories are true.

So why is our “government” covering up for the chinees? No one had a problem blaming the 1918 flu epidemic on the Spanish...

The only logical reason our government would cover for the Chinese is that our government, thru Fauci, PAID for the research. CYA in action !!!!

Second and more important question is why would our government, thru Fauci, pay our economic rival and potential military adversary to develop a potentially deadly pathogen?

Third question could be does Fauci have a God complex or just a bad case of Little Man Syndrome?

I can believe the “leak” was an accident, but the spread to the world was INTENTIONAL!!!

Hi.

“Escaped”

From the Wuhan lab

I posted that on FR over 2 years ago.

Today, “escaped” is not what I believe. Sad.

Yep, jumped right into Fauci’s pocket as he left the Wuhan lab.

Hi.

“but why would China target Iran?”

Or Italy? I have no clue.

I will tell you about the logistics of using biological and chemical weapons.

Very difficult to control because of many variables. Too many to list.

Just to add, the Wuhan lab got the virus from the U.S. via Canada.

The elderly of the world hardest hit. China solved the aging problem for China and the populationists.

I could, with difficulty, fish with the SBR.
