The Wuhan Institute of Virology – increasingly believed to be the source for the SARS CoV-2 coronavirus – obtained “all the genes to make a SARS coronavirus similar to the epidemic strain,” according to a 2017 report by Science News. The article – “Bats in China carry all the ingredients to make a new SARS virus” – documents how a Wuhan Institute of Virology research team led by the Fauci-funded “bat lady” Shi Zhengli sampled wild bats. Also cross-posted to the Wuhan lab’s website, the November 30th 2017 report reveals how data collected by Shi’s team enabled the lab to...

@RandPaul Even Wuhan Scientist Dr. Shi admits her Dr. Fauci -funded NIH research was gain of function: according to her own words, the virus they created: “shows a gain in pathogenesis . . . .” Link@RandPaul When will Dr. Fauci come clean and admit that NIH has indeed funded gain-of-function research?

The right shouldn't be taking a victory lap. They should be asking why media and Big Tech were allowed to smear everyone who believed in the possibility of a lab leak as crazy conspiracy theorists.A clip of Jon Stewart on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” has blown up on the internet, and for good reason. It’s amazing. In it, Stewart, in a hilarious fake dialogue with a Chinese lab researcher, makes the case for why the theory that the coronavirus originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology is way less insane than all the other origin hypotheses.People owe a...

Irritated by the publication of emails exposing his deceit and greed, Dr. Anthony Fauci went on MSNBC's "MTP Daily" to denounce his critics. Aided and abetted by the show's host Chuck Todd, Fauci declared "those who attack me are attacking science and truth." "These Republicans—Blackburn, Rubio, McCarthy—who say I lied to America because they find contradictory statements in my emails are ridiculous," Fauci declared. "How do they know I wasn't lying in my emails? There is no way of telling which were the lies. That I know this and they don't proves that I am the scientist and they are...

While speaking at a conference in 2018, Wuhan Institute of Virology and collaborator and gain-of-function advocate Dr. Ralph Baric advised attendees on how to “make money” in the next pandemic. “I wanted to give you good news. There are winners out there, right? So if you ever want to be prepared and make money in the next pandemic, if that’s what you want to do, buy stock in Hazmat suit makers and protective clothing or companies that make antiviral drugs for that particular pandemic,” he notes. Baric adds that the aforementioned sectors and stocks would “probably do pretty well” before...

The Wuhan Institute of Virology kept live bats in cages, new footage from inside the facility has revealed, disproving denials from World Health Organisation investigators who claimed the suggestion was a “conspiracy”. An official Chinese Academy of Sciences video to mark the launch of the new biosafety level 4 laboratory in May 2017 speaks about the security precautions that are in place if “an accident” occurs and reveals there had been “intense clashes” with the French Government during the construction of the laboratory.

Under Dr. Fauci NIAID Gave Wuhan Lab $826k for Bat Coronavirus Research Judicial Watch Sues Intelligence Director and State Department over Wuhan Lab Judicial Watch Sues for Information on New York COVID-19 Deaths Under Dr. Fauci NIAID Gave Wuhan Lab $826k for Bat Coronavirus Research We’re now learning that U.S officials, using your tax dollars, were more deeply involved with the notorious Wuhan Lab in China than anyone knew. The agency headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci is reluctantly revealing the details only because we sued them. Here is a progress report. We obtained 280 pages of documents from the...

What happens when a country loses interest in protecting itself? That's what we are living through in America today. COVID-19 has killed 600,000 Americans. Yet the U.S. government and top American leaders have generally been passive, or even uninterested, in learning how it all started. How can that be? It's almost unimaginable that every single American would not want to find out the truth. That so few do is just another example of the sad place we find ourselves. Six hundred thousand dead Americans? Ho-hum. That's the attitude nationally. The debate about the origins of COVID-19 is not purely an...

As the world slowly begins to emerge from the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic and American elites develop an interest in the formerly dismissed Wuhan lab leak theory, it is time to focus attention where it belongs: punishing a rogue Chinese Communist Party for what it has inflicted upon an unsuspecting world. To many of us, it was obvious from the outset that COVID-19 was a "Chinese Chernobyl." Regardless of whether the virus has as its provenance a zoonotic transmission at a wet market or an "escape" from the Wuhan Institute of Virology -- to say nothing of the low,...

Our tongue-in-cheek references aside, Peter Daszak is turning out to be a nuclear-grade, evil dude. The Bond villain imagery of Dr. Julius No, Auric Goldfinger, or Elliot Carver is not doing him justice.Not. At. All.My colleague Scott Hounsell has done excellent work unmasking (pun fully intended) Daszak:There is one name, however, which keeps coming up related to the virus, tied to the funding, research, and now, the potential ongoing cover-up of gain-of-function research conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That name is Peter Daszak.Daszak is the President of EcoHealth Alliance, the organization which has funneled at least $600,000 to...

<p>Biden administration budget chief Shalanda Young refused to say that Joe Biden would stop funding gain of function research at the Wuhan, China research lab. For clarity, the term gain of function is used to describe any field of medical research that alters an organism or disease in a way that increases transmissibility or pathogenesis.</p>

What we've recently witnessed is the replacing of one faith with another, in which the new saints are the 'experts' who 'trust science.'While he’s not alone, credit to The Guardian’s Thomas Frank for being honest he was one of the many who rolled eyes at the rubes and scolded the “Trumpists” and “deluded” Fox viewers. Charting his journey from a skeptic to considering the COVID lab-leak hypothesis, “The answer is that this is the kind of thing that could obliterate the faith of millions,” Frank writes. “My own complacency on the matter was dynamited by the lab-leak essay that ran...

WASHINGTON—A report on the origins of Covid-19 by a U.S. government national laboratory concluded that the hypothesis claiming the virus leaked from a Chinese lab in Wuhan is plausible and deserves further investigation, according to people familiar with the classified document. The study was prepared in May 2020 by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and was drawn on by the State Department when it conducted an inquiry into the pandemic’s origins during the final months of the Trump administration. It is attracting fresh interest in Congress now that President Biden has ordered that U.S. intelligence agencies report to...

“In an unlikely but conceivable turn of events, what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic?” Anthony Fauci penned these words in a 2012 paper, long before the COVID-19 outbreak, about gain of function research. “Scientists working in this field might say — as indeed I have said — that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks.”The benefits outweigh the risks. For research involving scientists extracting viruses from the wild and engineering them to infect humans in order to study potential therapeutics, Fauci determined...

First of all, Wuhan is a place and not a race, and to identify the coronavirus by its place of origin, like naming the Ebola Virus for a river in Zaire, is not racist or xenophobic — it's merely accurate. There is no racism or xenophobia in labeling an infection "Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever" or calling something "Lyme Disease" after a nearby town in Connecticut. What calling this latest virus the Wuhan Virus is is a reminder of the multiple contagions China has spawned and released on an unsuspecting world. Nor is connecting some very big, ugly, and obvious dots...

Kristian Andersen is a Scripps Institute virologist on a first name basis with Dr. Anthony Fauci. So his January 31, 2020 email to the good doctor stating that some of the features of the COVID-19 virus “(potentially) look engineered” and that the genome is “inconsistent with expectations of evolutionary theory” garnered a lot of attention when the FOIA requested emails were released last week.Skeptics noticed that he reversed himself two months later, and then – surprise! – he got a big grant from the NIH: 2 months later he reverses course and publishes his "Proximal Origin" paper, helping shield NIH/NIAID...

President Trump wanted to haul Dr. Anthony Fauci in front of a presidential commission to give evidence about funding the Wuhan laboratory suspected of leaking COVID-19. Advanced plans were underway for the special presidential panel, with an executive order even drawn up to hold China and its collaborators accountable and tally a reparations bill to fire off to Beijing. Trump’s senior advisers talked him out of the idea as it was about to be announced, according to insider accounts detailed in a soon-to-be-released book on the origins of COVID-19, “What Really Happened in Wuhan.” In another bombshell revelation from the...

“Damning” science strongly suggests that COVID-19 is a man-made monster, optimized in a lab for maximum infectivity before hitting the outside to catastrophic effect, two experts said Sunday.Writing in an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, Dr. Steven Quay and Richard Muller pointed to two key pieces of evidence to support the claim, which has increasingly gained steam after long being derided as little more than speculation.[cut]Recently revealed emails by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, show that he was warned as early as Jan. 2020 that the virus may have been “engineered.” In a Senate...

In a VIP column last night, I highlighted the complete puff piece Politico put out there on Dr. Anthony Fauci and referenced how one of his most prolific critics, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), has gotten death threats as of late. As the senator shared just last night during an appearance on Fox News' "Hannity," they continue to come. "But you know what the other danger is, I've had five death threats this week, just for being outspoken on it," Sen. Paul, who is also a doctor, said. "This week I've had five death threats. I don't know what the world's...
