It’s becoming undeniable: COVID came from a Chinese lab
New York Post ^ | June 17, 2023 7:46pm Updated | Editorial Board

Evidence that COVID came from a Chinese lab mounted toward a conclusive level last week: “Multiple government sources” say the very first people infected by the bug were Wuhan Institute of Virology researchers, a new report reveals.

More, they were allegedly modifying a close relative of the virus with a key feature unique to it.

The report — by Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi and Alex Gutentag, posted on the outlet Public — names Ben Hu, Yu Ping and Yan Zhu as WIV scientists who developed COVID symptoms as early as November 2019, a month before the world even heard of the outbreak, and who now appear to be “patients zero.”

A source said officials were “100%” certain these three were the ones who developed the symptoms.

It’s “a game changer if it can be proven that Hu got sick with COVID-19 before anyone else,” marvels World Health Organization expert Jamie Metzl. “That would be the ‘smoking gun.’ Hu was the lead hands-on researcher” in the WIV lab.

Add in all the other evidence — especially the scientists’ gain-of-function work using a close relative of the COVID bug — and it’s now impossible to ignore the extreme likelihood that a leak from the lab sparked the global pandemic behind nearly 7 million deaths and untold economic harm.

But any Leftist will tell you, you’re racist, if you say it.

Trump was right as usual the media refuse to except the facts not their line of work.

the Chinese-corrupted WHO deliberately lied to us

they said it came from a “wet market”, not the WIV, and that to suggest otherwise was racist

now they got some explainin’ to do

Several studies have come to this same conclusion, but therefore, what? The Chinese are never going to pay a price for this biological warfare, at least they wont under current American leadership.

Pretty thorough article.

Covid was developed in conjunction with the US, funded by Fauci, and outsourced to a lab in Wuhan with ties to the Chines Military and a history of poor security.

BFD. Anyone who possessed at last a handful of functional neurons figured this out back at the start.

Our government and our media lied to us at every step of the way, and not just on this. What have you learned from this experience?

Fauci funded it and he has told us that we will be attacked again in 2025. No one seems to care.

And the entire Democrat party that was in on it and probably a huge portion of Republicans too.

Everybody had that pretty well figured out by February, 2020.

What are they going to do about it? Spoiler: Not a damn thing.

The CCP, DNC, major media, medical profession, WHO, CDC were all on the same team with the same goal. Get rid of Trump regardless of the damage they caused. Then install a puppet leader that they can steer in any direction to accomplish their statist goals.

The way I heard it, the main reason they showered the lab with dollars in the first place was because it was an epidemiological s$&tshow, and scared everyone who looked into it.

Where was the UN or other pertinent agencies in all this? Regardless of the vector or proximate cause, an escaped lab leak that ostensibly kills millions around the globe would seem to require some sort of response.

At least a strongly worded memorandum, no? Instead radio silence.
