After being denounced as a conspiracy for years, the Covid lab leak hypothesis is now considered the most likely origin of the virus... Researchers from Australia and Arizona used a risk analysis tool- which they described as the most comprehensive yet - to determine the chances the SARS-CoV-2 virus was of 'unnatural' or 'natural' origin. The team compared the characteristics of the virus and the pandemic to 11 criteria that analyzed things like the rarity of a virus, the timing of a pandemic, the population infected, the spread of a virus and the unexpected symptoms of a virus. Based on...

COVID-19 may have been created in a Chinese lab, a British professor told the UN Wednesday, with another expert claiming that evidence of the likelihood has reached “the level of a smoking gun.” Richard H. Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University, was quoted saying in a new Wall Street Journal article that the virus that killed millions around the world may actually have been manmade in China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology. He cited evidence found in a 2018 document from the lab that talked of making such a virus. “[The document] elevates the evidence provided by the genome sequence...

I had previously made the case that the totality of circumstances surrounding SARS-CoV-2 origins is sufficient for probable cause to believe the virus originated in a lab. In addition to the circumstances surrounding the origin of SARS-CoV-2, the evidence we lack for a zoonotic origin makes our case even stronger. Outside the narrow lens of mainstream media outlets unable to cover this globally pertinent forensic case, the biggest scientific murder-mystery of the century is being solved. New evidence has emerged to strengthen the lab origin case. The flawed papers claiming a zoonotic origin have been revealed as even more hopelessly...

FBI’s entire 25-person Chinese intelligence squad knew of reliable human intelligence that SARS-CoV-2 Covid leaked from a lab...Over the last several months, Public has reported on a growing body of evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 virus that caused the Covid pandemic escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China. Last year, Public and Racket were the first to report that US government officials had identified that the first patients to become sick with Covid worked at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).Now, Public has learned from multiple sources that the FBI knew since at least March 2020 that Covid was the result...

Sky News is doing the work that our own MSM refuses to do. Ever since it emerged, the origins of COVID should have been one of the top two or three stories in the world. After all, the disease itself was ravaging the world, the responses to the virus were doing even more damage, and the people in charge of responding to the virus were, at the very least, suspects in the case. Yet even discussion of the possibility of a lab leak was suppressed, and anybody who brought up the possibility was labeled a conspiracy theorist. Social media sites...

JUST IN - CIA rewarded multiple "analysts with significant financial incentives" to change their COVID origins conclusion from a lab leak to zoonosis, according to a "highly credible" whistleblower - U.S. House Select Subcommittee https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1701607765431783748 https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/2023.09.12-SSCP-HPSCI-Letter-to-CIA-Re.-Origins-of-COVID.pdf

Fauci was alerted in January 2020 that NIH had underwritten the discovery of dozens of novel coronaviruses of the same species as SARS-CoV-2. NIH had also funded research of these viruses in Wuhan. Anthony Fauci, a leader of the U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic and one of the most influential scientists in infectious diseases research for decades, knew in extraordinary detail the breadth of novel coronavirus research underway in Wuhan, China, within a month of the globe learning of the Wuhan novel coronavirus. Fauci had been informed by January 2020 that his institute had funded the discovery and study...

The United States government has scraped funding for the controversial Wuhan Institute of Virology, which has long been scrutinized as the possible origin of COVID-19, after the facility didn’t fork over documents about safety and security, according to a report. President Biden’s White House took the action Monday, according to a memo obtained by Bloomberg News. The Department of Health and Human Services informed the Wuhan lab of its determination and is looking to completely stop any future funds from going to the lab, the memo indicates. After a review that started in September, the agency found the lab is...

Former National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Disease (NAIAD) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci and a dozen other directors of the National Institutes for Health (NIH) appear not to have been legally appointed to their offices, according to a year-long investigation by House Energy and Commerce Committee Republicans. Mr. Fauci and the others were to serve five-year terms, beginning not later than Dec. 13, 2021, but repeated requests since March 2022 to Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra by the committee for documents verifying the appointments were delayed or ignored, according to GOP committee aides speaking on background. Because...

Almost exactly two years ago RedState broke the story of the defection of CCP counterintelligence official Dong Jingwei to the United States. The “terabytes” of data Dong, the highest-ranking Chinese defector ever, brought with him to the United States included information and data showing “that SARS-CoV-2 was manmade and leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, in addition to evidence confirming that the People’s Liberation Army managed the Wuhan bioweapons program (and others).” While it was essentially ignored by the mainstream media and dismissed by the professional former spook crowd, it was a huge story – so huge that RedState...

Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), pushed the idea that the COVID virus came from nature, a "wet market," instead of from a Chinese virology lab because "he felt guilty about funding the research in China that became COVID-19," said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Utah) in a March 7 interview with Newsmax. The narrative that Fauci created and spread to the American public while he worked for the government was "perhaps the most massive cover-up in modern medical history," added Paul. (In addition to his work at NIAID for many years, Fauci...

Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield confirmed during testimony that he was excluded and kept out of the loop by Dr. Tony Fauci in early February 2020 after he suggested the COVID-19 virus was leaked from a laboratory and did not act like a naturally occurring SARS coronavirus. Dr. Redfield believed COVID came from a lab so Fauci excluded him from phone calls early on as he persuaded other doctors to side with him by handing out millions of dollars in research grants. The only thing that changed was the BRIBES and NOT THE SCIENCE! Chairman Jim Jordan was ON...

Joe Scarborough picked a good morning to take a day off from Morning Joe. It came the day after Fox News aired an interview with FBI Director Chris Wray in which he said "The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan . . . Here you are talking about a potential leak from a Chinese government-controlled lab." The MSM "conventional wisdom" corps has long dismissed the notion that the virus originated in a government-controlled lab as a Sino-phobic conspiracy theory. They believed it came...

The conservative watchdog group Protect the People's Trust on Friday announced a lawsuit against the Interior Department over allegedly withholding documents in connection with its alleged involvement with EcoHealth Alliance and research by the Wuhan Institute of Virology. COVID-19 was first detected in the China city of Wuhan. Some people believe the virus leaked from the lab. The National Institutes of Health has given grant money to the nonprofit alliance, which has reportedly worked with the virology lab on bat coronavirus research. Public documents and published reports show evidence of possible connections between officials and actions of the U.S. Geological...

Twitter owner Elon Musk appeared to call for Dr. Anthony Fauci to be brought up on criminal charges in a tweet on Sunday that also poked fun at people who post their gender pronouns. “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci,” Musk posted on Twitter Sunday morning. He also posted a photoshopped image of the retiring White House chief medical adviser whispering in President Biden’s ear captioned, “JUST ONE MORE LOCKDOWN MY KING…” Musk, 51, did not elaborate why he thought Fauci — the face of America’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic — should be prosecuted. The 81-year-old has said he will be...

VIDEOGee! What could possibly go wrong? Every mad scientist out there sees no problems with the new COVID strain aka the FrankenStrain with an 80% mortality rate developed at Boston University using gain of function research. No Dr. Peter Daszaks were harmed during the making of this new strain... yet.

In an August 19th letter to Congressman James Comer, The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) announced the suspension of the sub-grants awarded to EcoHealth Alliance to study bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The funding was originally to determine which of the bat-borne coronaviruses were likely to make the jump from animal to humans and the likelihood that those viruses could mutate into deadly potential pandemic pathogens. During the 2018-2019 grant period, EcoHealth Alliance failed to report the creation of a deadly, more virulent virus that infected humanized cells with ACE2 receptors in laboratory mice,...

A top U.S. biosecurity lab is assuming responsibility for signing “poorly drafted” agreements with three high-level biosecurity labs in China that they concede may have broken the law.The three contracts, including one with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), gave the Chinese labs powers to destroy “secret files” from any stage of their collaboration.“The party is entitled to ask the other to destroy and/or return the secret files, materials, and equipment without any backups,” stated the 2017 memorandum of understanding (MOU) that the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) signed with the Wuhan lab, which first came to light in...

Virologica Sinica is an international journal which aims at presenting the cutting-edge research on viruses all over the world. The journal publishes peer-reviewed original research articles, reviews, and letters to the editor, to encompass the latest developments in all branches of virology, In February 2022, Virologica Sinica published a recent gain of function research project performed by scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in August 2021 while the COVID-19 pandemic was still raging around the world. Via The National Pulse. The Wuhan Institute of Virology assembled a monkeypox virus genome, allowing the virus to be identified through PCR tests,...

A scientific journal published by top Wuhan Institute of Virology researchers shared studies appearing to engage in gain-of-function type research, a controversial method of studying pathogens that can increase their lethality. The Wuhan Institute of Virology is believed to have engaged in the risky form of research regarding bat coronaviruses, as now-deleted webpages reveal the lab manipulating bat coronaviruses to “replicate efficiently in primary human airway cells and achieve in vitro titers equivalent to epidemic strains of SARS-CoV.” Now, the latest edition of the lab’s journal, Virologica Sinica, appears to contain a similar style of research with the H7N9 virus...
