Bannon had Steven Hatfill on back in January 2020. Hatfill is a retired Army bioweapons expert. Hatfill said that bioweapons builders all over the globe have a stock set of “tools” that they use to weaponize a bug and SARS-2 lacked any of them. He saw no sign of it having been engineered and more than that it behaved in a manner that he wouldn’t have predicted.

And China is sending thousands of young men into our country. Probably with a new corona virus.

It’s admitted GE can be done in such a way as to cover or erase signs it ever was used.

Excuse me, who "admitted" that? Or was that something you read on some antivax conspiracy site?

If I show you a picture of a girl with wings flying through the air, can you figure out if that picture is real or a fake?

The sequence of a virus is much like that picture. If the virus is altered, it is obvious to anyone who knows how to analyze genetic data. I've analyzed the sequence of the original SARS-CoV-2 isolate myself: no signs of genetic engineering.

Of much greater concern to me than whether what was allegedly found is allegedly a natural variant of Covid that allegedly looks like the Covid virus from four years ago, is the fact that the timing is almost exactly the same as it was four years ago. We are being set up for yet another “global pandemic” which will be used to allow election fraud on a scale far worse even that of the 2020 election. China is out right desperate to keep Joe Biden in office for another four years, and they are deathly afraid of Trump returning. As are they’re bought and paid for scumbag politicians in this country. It will be used for all kinds of nefarious purposes besides that. I can easily see a complete revamping of the financial system, including a digital currency, due to the “economic dislocation” caused by this “virus.”

Keep your eyes on the ball, folks. Who gives a damn what this alleged virus looks like? Care much more about what they’re going to try to do to us yet again.

It’s taken them this long to concoct this charade to cover their tracks.

“and some experts say it shoots down the lab leak theory”

Same experts that claimed the original Covid-19 virus came from a wet market?

Over the years I’ve worked with scientists and engineers who were acknowledged experts in their field. They often got into arguments with one holding X opinion and the other holding a different opinion on the same thing. Who is right on the lab theory? I don’t know. But several times I’ve seen that they get funding in such a way that they can’t disagree with whatever the politics are if they want to keep getting funding. This is so far in the weeds that the ordinary people can’t know who to believe.

One scientist said that the Corona virus had too many “inserts” to be natural.

Which scientist said that? Where is the published data showing the sequence analysis which demonstrates that there are "too many" inserts to be natural? Published data means a research article published in a medical journal and indexed at www.pubmed.gov; links to Epoch Times or other blogs don't count.

None of the thousands of scientists all over the world who have examined virus genome sequences have found any evidence that the virus is artificial. The genomic sequence of the original SARS-CoV-2 isolate is here: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 isolate Wuhan-Hu-1, complete genome. Why don't you take a look at it and explain where and how it is artificially altered?

FYI, there is no number of inserts that is "too many." Natural mutational processes exchange nucleotides (e.g. cytosine is replaced by uracil), insert and delete sequences, and move sequences from one location to another on the genome. Viruses also exchange pieces of genome with each other. None of this is unnatural.

The break out just coincidentally happened close to a level four CCP bioweapons lab that had numerous problems. Bull, it just took them a while to engineer this latest scam.

In my experience, when two experts hold differing opinions on a scientific topic, it's because the science is not advanced enough in that area to know what the real answer is. And the real answer probably has elements of both opinions.

Whatever those commie bastards are cultivating or creating in their labs, you can bet your sweet ass, that they’re holding on to it until Trump is back in The Oval Office.

The Chinese have been desperate looking for something to blame their lab leak on. I don’t trust those Red Chinese “experts”. They are almost as bad as American “experts”. Too political.

He saw no sign of it having been engineered and more than that it behaved in a manner that he wouldn’t have predicted.

As I previously communicated with you, my own analysis of the original SARS-CoV-2 genome showed no manipulation.

Imagine that a group of nefarious scientists set out to create a new pandemic virus that would eliminate much of the world population. The first step would be for them to read all of the medical literature describing the characteristics of a highly infectious and deadly virus. Then, they would have to decide which of those characteristics to incorporate in their new pandemic virus. They could assemble a virus which they predict would have those characteristics, but the nature of protein interactions, protein-nucleic acid interactions, host-virus interactions, etc., is so complicated that there is no way they could create a virus and know it would have the properties they want, even if they had unlimited access to a supercomputer.

It would take years (decades) of research to determine if what they created were, in fact, capable of causing a pandemic. And then, after decades of experimentation, when they decide to unleash their new virus upon the world, the moment anyone isolates and sequences that virus, the world would know it was created, not the result of natural mutation.

Creating a new pandemic virus from scratch is not really possible with our current technology and understanding of biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and virus biology. Even altering an existing virus to make it a better pandemic pathogen is difficult and a matter of trial-and-error rather than any directed process.
