Lab Origin: The Case is Even Stronger Now
brownstone.org ^ | 2/2/2024 | ALEX WASHBURNE

I had previously made the case that the totality of circumstances surrounding SARS-CoV-2 origins is sufficient for probable cause to believe the virus originated in a lab. In addition to the circumstances surrounding the origin of SARS-CoV-2, the evidence we lack for a zoonotic origin makes our case even stronger.

Outside the narrow lens of mainstream media outlets unable to cover this globally pertinent forensic case, the biggest scientific murder-mystery of the century is being solved.

New evidence has emerged to strengthen the lab origin case. The flawed papers claiming a zoonotic origin have been revealed as even more hopelessly flawed – while those of us independent subject matter experts could see this from the beginning, now it is becoming more obvious even to the lay public. Additionally, the lab-origin theory has made remarkable predictions about the contents of recently FOIA’d drafts of the DEFUSE grant.

The case for a lab origin is now clear enough that not only can we see the lab origin beyond reasonable doubt, but we are starting to accumulate evidence consistent with a cover-up, that this research-related accident was known to some who knew they funded the work, who knew they subcontracted the work, and who knew they did the work.

Let’s recap what we already knew, what’s new, and what we can reasonably deduce about who knew what and when.

The Fall of the Zoonotic Origin Papers

SARS-CoV-2 is a bat sarbecovirus that emerged in Wuhan far from the hotspots of wildlife bat sarbecoviruses, in a city without bats, at the doorstep of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the largest repository of bat sarbecoviruses in the world.

Re: "Deliberately released. Prove me wrong."

Easy to claim. Not so easy to prove.

Who were the guiding planners?

What was their exact motive?

Why were they certain they would not be publicly identified, or criminally charged, or held financially liable?

Finding out where it came from and how, would go a long way to helping prevent another such incident.

Strange why "they" don't want to do that...

Maybe “they” don’t want to do that?

Perhaps stating the obvious, the OP article at the source identifies numerous other source articles, which also identify other source articles/papers. I would quantify them all as ‘must read.’

They are ALL valuable sources of information and, barring suggestion that they should be read in conjunction with the OP, I’d recommend archiving them all for future reference, due primarily to the fact that the series of posts which lead to the OP article make the strongest case for lab origin I’ve ever read prior.

Rather than evolve to a ‘ufo-type debate’ whereas the government feigns a willingness to ‘come clean’, the one thing that this series of articles fails to address is the specific motivation which drives a perpetual coverup:

CYA, in part because the leverage which might be exerted against those with knowledge of these origins = and culpability - swings both ways (ccp vs US, and US vs ccp).

I am dubious as to a ‘reckoning’ for those who engineered this crisis - and I’m talking lotto odds - and the unwillingness of all parties to submit even a patsy paints a much more disturbing picture (allegation) than that of ‘lab origin’:

That this research was intended to develop a vaccine for an engineered virus which was to be covertly available to a select few and meet their stated goal of reducing human population on the planet.

After the wholesale fraud of the “O’Bozo” presidency that was foisted on American voters, I thought that nothing could ever surpass that kind of criminality and deceit.

But, all the lock downs, lies, fear mongering and the gratuitous lethality of sham science behind the Fauci/Pelosi corruption has convinced me that the depth of Americans’ credulity is bottomless.

We are the joke of the universe at this point.

We need to cancel US membership in WHO. NOW.

” Wildlife virologists look at what we find in wildlife, and study what we find in wildlife; we don’t use our imaginations to make unnatural chimeric innovations not found in wildlife and then conjure these horrors into existence.”

Years ago I coined a term for this type of work, “Stupid virology tricks”. Out of all the branches of Microbiology, virologists seem to have a unique inability to correctly assess the risks involved in their work. The Wuhan debacle is only the latest, especially when it was revealed that this highly dangerous work was done under substandard biosafety protocols. It was almost inevitable that the horror they created would escape.

I am not so down on a majority of Americans if they are provided and absorb information to dwell over. The Covid vaccine uptake seems to have reached the 80/20 rule in reverse. People were told if you take the vaccine it is safe and effective and you won't get Covid. It was a lie and people had to slowly figure it out for themselves.

Not just the PLA of the CCP. The American DoD funded the research, via grants to Fauci. In addition, the order to bypass normal testing for vaccines was done by military emergency authority. Our military is trained to keep secrets to the grave, so we may never get confirmation of the extent of military and DoD involvement in the plan/plot.

Critical technology was transferred to the Wuhan lab from the lab in North Carolina, other American labs, and at least one lab in each of Canada and the U.K. Plus, multiple patents held by Moderna, a company with no products for sale.

In previous Moderna mRNA research, animal trials on nine prior vaccines led to the death of every single animal in every single trial. Thank G-d that the human immune system is much more robust than the animals in the previous Moderna trials. Note that no animal testing has ever been done on this vaccine. My guess is that it, too, would yield 100% mortality in animals.

Me three.
Bioweapon from the get go, a flawed bioweapon with a much lower lethality than originally expected, but a bioweapon none the less.
Damn them all.

You are exactly right. From now on they will go all out.

They tested the bivalent VidVax on mice only before declaring it safe for humans.

Note in early January Fauci received an internal email basically saying - hey we are funding this group at WIV studying coronavirus, maybe we should ask them for help. We already have grant money there so we don’t even need to wait for funding. I believe the response was to the effect of shut this guy up. Would like to hear more from him.

And once again, here is a conspiracy theory heavily based on innuendo, inference, and implication, without any solid evidence to support any of the claims.

I see that the term “lab leak” is used to imply that the virus was created and intentionally released. The deliberate creation of a virus that is able to do exactly what its creator wants is not technically possible. We’re still trying to understand exactly how the SARS-CoV-2 virus works. How can we create something when we don’t know how it works?

A true lab leak—the unintentional release of a pathogen under study in the lab—is certainly possible. However, there is no evidence of this. First of all, the Chinese use the same biosafety level (BSL) system that we use in the Americas, Europe, and other countries in Asia. The BSL systems were developed precisely to make a lab leak nearly impossible. A pathogen leaked accidentally from a lab is still a naturally occurring pathogen, anyway.

Let’s look at the real evidence. The first cases of Covid clustered around the Huanan Wholesale Seafood Market. If people in that area did not shop or work there, they still lived in or near it. The first cases were clustered over 20 km from the Wuhan lab. In addition, samples taken from the market showed the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA.

It does not matter that infected bats were not detected in the city of Wuhan. The Huanan Wholesale Seafood Market was supplied by farmers all over the region around Wuhan. Any of the animals at those farms could have easily been infected by bats in the area. (This would be similar to what happened in the fictional movie Contagion.)

It also does not matter that the exact virus that infected humans has not been found in any wild animal population. Closely related viruses have been found. RNA viruses mutate so quickly that any particular form of a virus only exists for a limited time. It is still possible to detect descendants of the original virus.
