Scientist who worked at Wuhan lab says COVID was man-made virus
NY Post ^ | December 3, 2022 | By Isabel Vincent

A scientist who worked at a controversial research lab in China has claimed that COVID was a man-made virus that leaked from the facility, according to a report.

Andrew Huff, who worked for a New York-based non-profit that studied viruses, said COVID leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China two-plus years ago and blamed authorities for the “biggest US intelligence failure since 9/11,” Britain’s The Sun reported Saturday.

The lab has been at the center of fierce debates about the origins of COVID, with both Chinese government officials and lab personnel denying that the virus leaked from the facility.

Huff, an epidemiologist, said in his new book, “The Truth About Wuhan,” that the pandemic was the result of the US government’s funding of coronaviruses in China.

He said that China’s gain-of-function experiments were carried out with lax security, which led to a leak at the Wuhan lab.

“Foreign laboratories did not have the adequate control measures in place for ensuring proper biosafety, biosecurity, and risk management, ultimately resulting in the lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” he said in his book, which was exclusively excerpted in the newspaper.

It was an American bio-weapon. We have all been exposed to a bio-weapon.

Gotta disagree. This wasn’t an intelligence failure. This was an intelligence cover up. Folks in the government can go on news shows, and talk about intelligence failures. Assign a little blame here, and a little blame there.

But you can’t talk about intelligence cover ups. It’s complete silence all the way around.

And that’s a disgrace.

I wouldn’t buy into most of this. Here’s some facts:

The WIV was founded in 1956 as the Wuhan Microbiology Laboratory under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). It was established by scientists Gao Shangyin, a graduate of Soochow University and Chen Huagui. They have been handling viruses now for over 65 years and records do not indicate anything even close to this type of leak in their history. The reason for this is they have been in the past very diligent and now possess one of the finest control structures in the world that it supposedly leaked out of.

In 2003, the Chinese academy of Sciences approved the construction of mainland China’s first biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) laboratory at the WIV. In 2014, the WIV’s National Bio-safety Laboratory was built at a cost of 300 million yuan (US$44 million), in collaboration and with assistance from the French government’s CIRI lab). The new laboratory building has 3000 m2 of BSL-4 space, and also 20 BSL-2 and two BSL-3 laboratories. The BSL-4 facilities were accredited by the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS) in January 2017, with the BSL-4 level lab put into operation in January 2018. The highest level biosafety installation is necessary because the Institute investigated highly dangerous viruses, such as SARS, influenza H5N1, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue.

This virus was not leaked, it was built and applied. Wuhan has been in the business of protecting viruses long before C19 was constructed. And China has been in the business of using bio weapons for over 100 years and are now the largest seller of them in the world with their best customer being Iran since 1988 with chemical weapons being traded to Iran throughout the 1980’s.

No this is all Russian disinformation.

CNN teaches us that once upon a time a pangolin went to the wet market in Wuhan to get a bowl of bat soup...

“China virus” is as correct a term as any.

Scientists have already confirmed it to be of lab origin by its very structure. I mean this was suspected at the very beginning by 99% of scientists, but the evidence wasn’t there to prove it beyond doubt. Well now it has been proven beyond doubt that it originated in the lab. You need to update your shilling lol.

China and the USA, specifically Fauci, are 100% to blame.

One of the best and easiest to understand articles that provides compelling evidence it was leaked from that leaky lab in Wuhan:

https://thebulletin.org/2021/05/the-origin-of-covid-did-people-or-nature-open-pandoras-box-at-wuhan/

Matt Ridley (science writer for WSJ) wrote a book about it, too, titled “Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19”. Good (and long) interview with him and Jordan Peterson here:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FEh5JyZC218

There’s really no denying it leaked from that lab.

the “biggest US intelligence failure since 9/11,”

It was not a "failure" it was deliberate disinformation. Anyone with two functioning braincells knew that this didn't come from some dude who ate bat soup in a shopping mall.

After Pearl Harbor the Japanese living in the US were pulled out of cars and beaten. To help them survive they went to camps (later the subject of Star Trek’s short gay actor allowed to play Sulu has been overflowing with self pity and anger at America and white people. The camps also protected the country from further deliberate sabotage and acts of war during World War II.

And not entirely without justification:

"In Honolulu, mustachioed Major Harold C. Roberts, acting commanding officer of the 3d Defense Battalion since Lieutenant Colonel Robert H. Pepper had accompanied Colonel Jackson to sea in Indianapolis, after taking Steinhauser’s call with word of the bombing of Pearl, jumped into his car along with his neighbor, Major Kenneth W. Benner, commanding officer of the 3-inch Antiaircraft Group and the Headquarters and Service Battery of the 3d Defense Battalion.

"As Roberts’ car crept through the heavy traffic toward Pearl, the two officers could see Japanese aircraft flying along the coast. When they reached the Water Street Fish Market, a large crowd of what seemed to be “Japanese residents ... cheering the Japanese planes, waving to them, and trying to obstruct traffic to Pearl Harbor by pushing parked cars into the street” blocked their way."

-- Excerpt from Infamous Day, Marines at Pearl Harbor, 7 December 1941 by Robert Cressman and J. Michael Wenger

We knew that. The Stalinist RAT democrazies from this country joined with the Red Chinese to wipe out freedom lovers around the globe. The Dempanic was a biological attack on Americans. Even the Feral “judgeys” said if we didn’t let foreigners bring Covid into America, we would be “racists”.

All told us it was a natural virus, vax is safe and effective

Can these prestigious publishers be sued for lying? The virus had Moderna patented sequences in it. Btw you can’t patent natural sequences. CDC FDA NIH all need to burnt to the ground.

This could well be true but one should remember that the Sun is only slightly more credible than the National Enquirer.

Just when I think that a silly shill like you can't tell on yourself even more than you have already, you outdo yourself.

Thanks. I like to learn about historic events.
True stories are being “disappeared” by the day.

Once I looked up something on Google and Yahoo about Vietnamese torture of American POWs because I couldn’t remember the name of the officer interviewed by Anthony Robbins. The next year I looked for something similar and ALL the searches were silently redirected to “torture of Vietnamese by American soldiers” “interrogation torture by Americans” and so on.

History disappearing.

One really begins to realize how deeply entrenched the Deep State is when not only was there a coordinated effort by government and media to kill any discussion of the leak being from a lab; labeling people, de-platforming people... but to this day, the direct involvement by Fauci to sidestep restrictions on GoF research to ultimately direct funding to Wuhan which resulted in this catastrophe has never been accounted for. And my accounted for I mean criminally prosecuted for unleashing the greatest manmade disaster in history.

When this is proved, there needs to be justice for the millions killed by this bug. Death sentences for those at the top of the ladder.

THE head of the World Health Organisation believes Covid DID leak from a lab in Wuhan after a “catastrophic accident” in 2019, it’s claimed.

A SCIENTIST who worked closely with the Wuhan lab has claimed Covid was genetically engineered - and leaked from the facility.

I think it’s pretty obvious it leaked from the lab. The question is what were they trying to do when it leaked? Was it a bio weapons project gone awry?
