A Chinese laboratory at the center of new theories about how the coronavirus pandemic started was the subject of multiple urgent warnings inside the U.S. State Department two years ago, according to a new report.

U.S. Embassy officials warned in January 2018 about inadequate safety at the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab and passed on information about scientists conducting risky research on coronavirus from bats, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

Those cables have renewed speculation inside the U.S. government about whether Wuhan-based labs were the source of the novel coronavirus, although no firm connection has been established. The theory, however, has gained traction in recent days.

One thing still stands out. Correct me if I am wrong..... the “bat” this started with, isn’t even a local bat. It’s from some area like 1,000 miles away? So you have some peasant who just happens to sell these things in this market? What do they do to get them? Or wait, was it a snake? Or an anteater? Do they really fricking know? Seems everyone who officially comments KNOWS with CERTAINTY where is didnt come from no?

State Department leaked cables renew theories on origin of coronavirus

The Communist Chinese have played their attack on the West brilliantly. They have brought the greatest, strongest country in the history of the world to its knees in less than a month ... and without firing a shot (or a missile). And there remains widespread disagreement on how long America will stay paralyzed. It's clear they know us better than we know ourselves. 26 posted on 4/4/2020, 10:28:38 AM by glennaro

Earlier this month, Tucker Carlson did a segment on the origin of the coronavirus. Carlson, who has been pretty aggressive in his coverage of the virus, pointed out a Chinese research paper (since pulled by the author) which claimed the virus could not have arisen at the Wuhan wet market because the horseshoe bats where the virus arose were not for sale at the market. In fact, the bats are not naturally found anywhere within 900 miles of the market.

However, bats were being studied for viruses they carried in two labs including one just a few hundred meters from the market.

The abbreviation for Bat Soup is BS~!

Novel coronavirus cases could have been reduced by 95 percent had China responded to the outbreak just three weeks earlier than it did, a March 13 study by the University of Southampton has found.

Some common sense here would indicate that its from the lab.

does anyone believe someone traveled 1000 miles to get bats to sell for what ever the meat is worth at a market, no it would not be cost effective and the retailer would loose money. The near by lab is known to import them as a weapon.

now assuming its from a lab, does it matter if this bio weapon was accidentally released early by mistake or intentionally released as it dam sure was intended to be used on ccp adversaries. I personally see no difference if it was accidentally leaked or released on purpose as it was intended to kill their enemy as it clearly is doing.

They were loosing a trade war and Hong Kong was exploding with protesters so if accidental the timing sure was good for them. They had intent and motive and they let international flights out of Wuhan after they sealed the border internally. Thant shows intent not negligence.

This was an act of WAR and the sooner we see it for what it is the more likely we are to survive.

These idiots have not even accepted China’s second cut out. Time to throw these bums out before they get us all killed. They are irrelavent because they work at the speed of molasses.

So does this drive you bat Sh*t crazy? Something is up. I just wonder how in the hell do American’s like Bill Gates invest in labs - does this mean that the labs are in competition or working together on different aspects of disease or biological weapons, and if so is that Treason. It seems there are so many connections - that Gates was verbal about an outbreak in Dec 2017. Gates is well positioned to profit from this, and his picture with the Dr. Fauci With George Soros, Bill Gates Sr., David Rockefeller all together indicats that our Elites were interested in testing this stuff. Enough to drive me Bat Sh*t Crazy.

This morning on FNC, Sec. Esper was sure fast talking and not answering questions, again, he was asked but beating around the bush with his own meme about his investigation into it coming out of a lab or a bat. He claims it was the bat and not the lab. The more he fast talked around it, the more unbelievable he became.

I’m thinking if our government admitted it came from the lab, intentional or not, the people would demand war. No country wants to go to war with China so it’ll be swept under the rug and everything will be blamed on one little bat.

I am inclined to believe this was a lab mistake. Until they can say for sure...
