I’ve been on the “lab origin” bandwagon since March of 2020, based only on the circumstantial evidence at the time. Starting with the very first reports about a new virus coming from a “wet market”. The way that was closed and hosed down that market looked more like an attempt to destroy evidence, or at least re-direct attention, anywhere except the WIV.

Just too many factors suggesting that the WIV was the source.

One problem with getting to the truth has been the consistent straw-manning that has surrounded any discussion of the WIV as the source. This was more common in the media early on, but one can still find figures making unsupported claims that this or that feature of the viral genome proves dispositively that the lab didn’t just lose control of a virus, but they specifically engineered it as a bio-weapon and released it intentionally.

Now, I suspect that the bio-weapon angle (at least) has some truth to it, but the over-broad claims have mostly been attempts to discredit those wanting to take a closer look at the WIV, and our own government’s ties and involvement.

If this Dr. Huff turns out to be legit, his description of events could do much to solidify just what the NIH and WIV were up to , and how they might have gone about lying to the world about what they had done.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. It’s nice to meet a sane smart person here :)

I strongly suspected it from the beginning, too. Then when I read Ward’s article (first link in my #28) in early May of 2020, what little doubt I had vanished.

I posted the link to it here several times, but no interest. Everyone was too busy screaming “bioweapon!” and “it gives you AIDS!”. Then the vax doomers were only interested in all the wild and crazy things supposedly in the vaccines (itty bitty razor blades, wiggly parasites, mechanical nano-octopuses, snake venom, and so on and on).

Why everyone on the planet hasn’t been up in arms demanding a stop to GoF research I don’t know. The climate doomers are too wrought up over their imaginary global warming apocalypse on one hand, the vax doomers over their imaginary death jabs apocalypse on the other. We’re all gonna die! Well, we may very well do just that next time one of these little lab-cooked critters gets loose.

While I’ve no doubt the CCP kept an eye on Bat Lady’s little projects at WIV in case one might show promise as a bioweapon, everything points to this being an accidental leak.

Of course they covered it up. Remember the high-octane anger in the early days? That it would be an “act of war” if it came from that lab? So, what were we gonna do, bomb China? And when all the American involvement (and scandals involved) came to light, bomb ourselves? Take responsibility (and liability)? Nah. Better to grumble about wet markets and bat soup and bring a smiling Fauci out on stage.

No one is asking why we shared all that dual-use technology with the likes of China, either.

Of course they lied.
