Virus-hit Wuhan has two laboratories linked to Chinese bio-warfare program

The deadly animal virus epidemic spreading globally may have originated in a Wuhan laboratory linked to China’s covert biological weapons program, according to an Israeli biological warfare expert.

Radio Free Asia this week rebroadcast a local Wuhan television report from 2015 showing China’s most advanced virus research laboratory known the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Radio Free Asia reported.

The laboratory is the only declared site in China capable of working with deadly viruses.

Dany Shoham, a former Israeli military intelligence officer who has studied Chinese bio warfare, said the institute is linked to Beijing’s covert biological weapons program.

“Certain laboratories in the institute have probably been engaged, in terms of research and development, in Chinese [biological weapons], at least collaterally, yet not as a principal facility of the Chinese BW alignment,” Mr. Shoham told The Washington Times.

Work on biological weapons is conducted as part of a dual civilian-military research and is “definitely covert,” he said in an email.

Mr. Shoham holds a doctorate in medical microbiology. From 1970 to 1991 he was a senior analyst with Israeli military intelligence for biological and chemical warfare in the Middle East and worldwide, holding the rank of lieutenant colonel.

Well, well, did someone forget to seal a vial?

[Diogenesis]

Canada and Gates are in the middle of this.

Conspiracy to murder humans en masse.

[frank ballenger]

If this is true then my posts for a few days had something to them.

That refusal to allow the world to use virus samples to develop vaccines was abhorrent and just short of an act of war. Chinese are international outlaws and will correctly be singled out for that behavior now. Where’s the stupid United Nations now?

You’d think they’d shoot for something better than a 2 percent death rate of infected in developed countries.

The people there eat bats and rats.

That’s likely where it came from.

[Ouderkirk]

It certainly looks like a weapon detonated on the world by them.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Bkmrk.

They are all headed to Duane Reade to get masks.

The virus outbreak causes pneumonia-like symptoms and prompted China to deploy military forces to Wuhan this week in a bid to halt the spread. All travel out of the city of 11 million people was halted.

Looks like the ChiComs are scared sh*tless!

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

[Zathras]

It sounds like something weaponized.
The speed it moves is one indicator.
The fact it came from nowhere is the other.
I’d be willing to bet USAMRAD at Fort Detrick had never heard of it till it broke in China.

That's 2% as reported by who?

The very country that lies about everything else! That's Hu!

[indthkr]

Coronavirus bump for later.....

[CondoleezzaProtege]

I hope the loss of life is immediately halted and also hope this is the beginning of the end for Xi and the entire communist apparatus.

[null and void]

Looks like the ChiComs are scared sh*tless!

It does seem a little disproportionate for something that only kills 2%, and mostly the useless eater elderly at that!

[Lowell1775]

Has anyone conjectured that the acknowledged rapid spread, but most seemingly most dangerous for the 40+ age groups would cull older, less productive people...also those holding what are now considered obsolete values or behaviors?

Leave the young pliable breeders in place while justifying near absolute control of a populace?

A viral Logan’s Run?

[mikey_hates_everything]

Huh, maybe this will be China’s Chernobyl.

[Cold Heart]

It looks like we have two samples to start with now.

[Cold Heart]

Or Xi just really didn’t plan on buying US agriculture products.

[Ozark Tom]

There is that unsubstantiated rumor, which pushed a theory that the Corona Virus serves as a delivery package for an encapsulated neurological targeting viral payload; one, which presents with a time delayed emergence after the initial infection subsides.
