As evidence mounts that Covid-19 escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) announced it is constructing more than 90 additional bio labs.The CCP’s Ministry of Science and Technology announced this week that the country is constructing three additional biosafety level-4 labs and 88 biosafety level-3 labs.Related: Reporter’s early scoop on Covid origins branded ‘false’ for over a year, February 24, 2021A biosafety level (BSL), or pathogen/protection level, is a set of biocontainment precautions required to isolate dangerous biological agents in an enclosed laboratory facility.The levels of containment range from the lowest biosafety level 1 (BSL-1)...

After cancelling an investigation by the Trump administration into the origins of Wuhan coronavirus, deferring to the corrupt World Health Organization and the Chinese Communist Party, President Joe Biden announced Wednesday he has directed the U.S. intelligence community to "double their efforts" to get to the bottom of how the pandemic started. [Biden statement:] "I have now asked the Intelligence Community to redouble their efforts to collect and analyze information that could bring us closer to a definitive conclusion, and to report back to me in 90 days. As part of that report, I have asked for areas of further...

Senate unanimously passed legislation by Senators Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Mike Braun (R-IN) requiring the DNI to declassify information on any potential links between Wuhan Institute of Virology and the origins of COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 Origin Act was approved by voice vote.

General Mike Flynn blasted the Biden Administration’s effort to cover up the origins of Covid-19 during an interview with Rose Unplugged on Wednesday. The Wuhan lab leak theory is not really a theory anymore so the Biden Admin is working overtime to hide the truth about Covid-19. The Biden State Department quietly ended an inquiry into the origins of Covid-19 and whether it leaked from the Wuhan lab. On Wednesday, Biden ordered the intelligence community to “redouble their efforts to collect and analyze information that could bring us closer to a definitive conclusion, and to report back to me in...

Does Trump Derangement Syndrome have no end? President Biden overturned Trump’s policies at the southern border, even though they were controlling illegal migration. He’s pushing for a return to the failed Iran deal, even though the Trump administration successfully reined in that country’s spreading of terror. Now it’s revealed that Biden shut down an inquiry into the Wuhan lab and the origins of COVID-19 that was started by the State Department under his predecessor. Why? Because Trump was pushing it. One would hope that, at a certain point, Democrats and the media would learn to think for themselves — rather...

Dr Anthony Fauci admitted that there is no way to know if Chinese scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology lied and conducted what are called 'gain of function' experiments on bat coronaviruses using U.S. tax dollars. 'There's no way of guaranteeing that,' Fauci said Wednesday at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, responding to a question from Republican Senator John Kennedy. 'But in our experience with grantees, including Chinese grantees, which we have had interactions with for a very long period of time - they are very competent, trustworthy scientists.'

Facebook is lifting its ban on posts about COVID-19 potentially being manmade and will limit censorship of theories about the coronavirus possibly originating from a Chinese Communist Party laboratory. The move comes as support continues to mount for investigations into the theory that the virus leaked from a Wuhan lab.

Facebook will allow users to claim on its platform that COVID-19 may have originated in a lab in Wuhan, China - a reversal of its previous policy which banned comments suggesting the coronavirus was man-made. The move comes after Fauci changed his tune on where the virus may have originated - and after Biden ordered his intelligence agencies to launch a probe into whether it leaded from a Wuhan lab. 'In light of ongoing investigations into the origin of COVID-19 and in consultation with public health experts, we will no longer remove the claim that COVID-19 is man-made or manufactured...

(This is Part III of an article series detailing Dr. Fauci’s funding of DURC / Gain-of-function research through the NIH and NIAID. Part I can be found here and Part II can be found here.)At this point, one thing is for sure: NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci has been less than truthful about his statements on viral gain-of-function research. As we concluded yesterday, not only was Dr. Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina unquestionably NIH/NIAID-funded conducting gain-of-function research with Dr. Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Virology but that research was likely performed contrary to the directive...

Rain in some parts of central and southern China has hit record highs in recent weeks even though overall precipitation is about 10% lower this year compared with last year. Water levels on the Yangtze and its tributaries were expected to rise further over the next week, and it warned of major floods throughout the country from June to August. Some monitoring stations are issuing alerts, with the Wuhan city section of the Yangtze river in central China more than two meters higher than the normal at this time of the year as a result of heavy rain upstream. Last...

What are we learning about the American political-media establishment now that the origin story of the coronavirus pandemic appears to be radically changing? The Wall Street Journal has been reporting on new developments out of China's Wuhan Institute of Virology. There's more on those researchers who became "sick enough in November 2019 that they sought hospital care, according to a previously undisclosed U.S. intelligence report." The newspaper's reporting boosts efforts supporting a deeper investigation into the origins of the coronavirus illness. We're also learning, and relearning, about institutional rot and the triumph of political ideology over analysis. But will the...

Not enough people are willingly getting injected for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19), so Bloomberg writer Clara Ferreira Marques is suggesting fines and prison time for the “refuseniks” whom she believes are putting the rest of society at risk. Even though getting the “vaccine” admittedly does not even stop the spread of the Chinese Virus, or do much of anything beyond supposedly minimizing the risk of symptoms for those who get it, Marques is adamantly opposed to the idea that there should be any type of freedom of choice when it comes to Wuhan Flu shots. Marques has adopted a different...

The Biden administration stopped a State Department investigation launched late last year into whether the coronavirus originated in a Chinese lab, it was reported Tuesday. Three sources told CNN the inquiry begun by the Trump administration was halted over concerns about the quality of its work. News of the inquiry and its termination — neither of which had been previously reported — emerged amid renewed interest about whether the coronavirus could have leaked out of a Wuhan lab with links to the Chinese military.

The Biden administration ended an inquiry into a possible connection between the origins of the novel coronavirus and a lab in Wuhan, a CNN report published Tuesday claims. The State Department launched the previously undisclosed inquiry last fall under President Donald Trump — but the effort was shut down this spring because of “concerns about the quality of its work,” CNN reported, citing three unnamed sources. Allies of Mike Pompeo, Trump’s secretary of state, were looking into the possibility that the coronavirus pandemic may have started in the Wuhan Institute of Virology and not in nature, CNN reported. But after...

(Editor’s Note: The views expressed in this column are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of RedState.)The ChiComs have been following a carefully orchestrated game plan to exploit their virus for geopolitical gain, as I laid out over a year ago here:Delay release of clinical data while knowingly allowing infected Chinese to spread the virus to the unsuspecting world for months before grudgingly notifying the WHO of the virus and then dribbling out incomplete clinical data. As reported here, over 750,000 Chinese entered the US during the virus outbreak before President Trump implemented the travel ban...

Florida Gov. DeSantis on WSJ report that COVID may have originated in Wuhan lab: “Even Fauci admits that this may be something that very well is the case. Are they going to now censor Fauci and pull him down off social media?”

Dr. Anthony Fauci is now calling for more investigation into China to uncover the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, a dramatic reversal from his earlier position in which he dismissed theories that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. In a recent interview that received little attention, Fauci was asked by PolitiFact editor Katie Sanders whether he is "still confident that [COVID-19] developed naturally?" Shockingly, Fauci said he doubts the natural emergence of COVID-19. "No, actually," Fauci said. "No, I'm not convinced about that. I think that we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we...

Vivekh, an Indian actor and health ambassador for the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, died two days after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine dose earlier this month. The well-known actor and comedian was admitted to a local hospital on April 16 for cardiac arrest after being vaccinated with Covaxin, an Indian coronavirus vaccine, the day prior. The 59-year-old was brought to the hospital unconscious and underwent a coronary angiogram and angioplasty before his death the following morning, GreatGameIndia reported.

Sinovac Biotech Ltd.'s vaccine is wiping out Covid-19 among health workers in Indonesia, an encouraging sign for the dozens of developing countries reliant on the controversial Chinese shot, which performed far worse than western vaccines in clinical trials. Indonesia tracked 25,374 health workers in capital city Jakarta for 28 days after they received their second dose and found that the vaccine protected 100% of them from death and 96% from hospitalization as soon as seven days after, said Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin in an interview on Tuesday. The workers were tracked until late February. Sadikin also said that 94%...
