Beijing thwarts efforts to establish source of Covid-19
Specialist biologists suggest the virus was taken into the market by a human The virus was surprisingly 'already pre-adapted to human transmission'
It comes as Beijing thwarts global efforts to establish the source of the virus Here’s how to help people impacted by Covid-19
China’s claims that the pandemic emerged from a wild animal market in Wuhan last December have been challenged by a landmark scientific study.
The Mail on Sunday can reveal that analysis of the coronavirus by specialist biologists suggests that all available data shows it was taken into the market by someone already carrying the disease.
They also say they were ‘surprised’ to find the virus was ‘already pre-adapted to human transmission’, contrasting it to another coronavirus that evolved rapidly as it spread around the planet in a previous epidemic.
The explosive claims come as Beijing thwarts global efforts to establish the source of the virus. The news will fuel concerns over the Communist regime’s cover-up since the disease emerged last year in the central Chinese city.
The new research is clear in its finding. ‘The publicly available genetic data does not point to cross-species transmission of the virus at the market,’ said Alina Chan, a molecular biologist, and Shing Zhan, an evolutionary biologist. Their paper insists all routes for ‘zoonotic’ (animal to human) transmission – in this case from bats – must be examined. It says: ‘The possibility that a non-genetically engineered precursor could have adapted to humans while being studied in a laboratory should be considered.’
The revelations add to the growing clamour for an international inquiry into the outbreak.

Lying is the first and only response for ChiComs, and their servants.
It came from the WVI.
My current bookmaking is that it accidentally infected a worker there, who then spread it around town, including the wet market.
The CCP figured that out pretty quick — the “cleanup” at the wetmarket was more like destroying a crime scene than trying to contain a contageon.
And then, knowing the economic damage that China would suffer, they cut Wuhan off from China, while insisting that flights be allowed to continue to the rest of the world.
To deliver the same economic blow to the US and Europe.
This was an attack on our homeland by a hostile foreign power, and demands a response.
I agree and once Chicoms were given this Wuhan virus gift....These devious mofos ran with it to infect the world.
This virus was unexpected but ChiCom leaders figured - Never let a crisis go to waste and to waste Europe and America.
Try to think how these Chinese commie doucebags think and it all makes sense..
I said this sh!t in February and my family told me I was nuts, even though they’re both conservatives. They’re not saying it now.
The likelihood of a virus emerging in a city or province where there is a BSL-4 facility without it having come directly from that facility is extremely high. To suggest otherwise makes little sense
“It came from China. CHINA”
US intelligence investigating reports of Wuhan lab having an emergency shut down in mid October.
An accident or made to look accidental. Plan B if the wet market origin was debunked?
“... nuke the entire site from orbit - it’s the only way to be sure.” /serious ...
not to go too deep into conspiracy theories, but I do like to consider all possibilities, no matter how remote.
let’s say they accidentally unleashed a moderately serious pathogen on their own people and then realized that it was putting them at a serious power/economic disadvantage vs. the rest of the world, which had no such pathogen? what would they be incentivized to do (not saying they did it — just what their incentives would be)?
now consider that some biologists are saying the virus that hit Europe and spread to the US was a different and more dangerous strain? It might be a quick evolution of the existing virus OR ...
These guys have been the keystone kops from the git-go.
Pushing this out to the rest of the world will come to be seen as the profoundly stupid idea that it was. Forget evil, they’ve shot themselves in the foot, and it’s going to get a lot worse for them in the coming months and years.
That will make them a lot more dangerous.
Leadership in DC are enjoying themselves at the expense of a prostrate America, too. They won’t let a crisis go to waste, either.
“pre-adapted to human transmission”
As in DESIGNED? As in at the Wuhan Virus institute? As in with Fauci’s “Gain of Function” money?
The only remaining question is was it let out on accident or on purpose?
Let’s ask Greta Thunberg, she knows everything.
My theory is that China took what was the most effective they had selectively bred at the lab by October-November, and flipped the switch to “Outside Purge”.
The only way this does anything for them is if it gets rid of Trump.
The CCP probably gave away airline tickets.
Not saying the release couldn’t have been accidental, but the timing is right to screw the US at a critical point.
The virus quacks and walks like a bio-weapon. Something made to be released someday.
“This was an attack on our homeland by a hostile foreign power, and demands a response.”
Destroy their economy. Smash it to rubble.
I want to hear about starving kids in China again.

If it is scientifically ascertained that the virus was intentionally launched to hurt the West, what should the response be of the West?
