WATCH: Former CDC Director Says He Was ‘Sidelined’ and ‘Threatened’ for Taking Lab Leak Theory Seriously

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield told Fox News host Martha MacCallum that he was “sidelined” and “threatened” for taking the lab leak theory seriously when the pandemic began.

In January of 2020, the dominant theories about the origin of the novel coronavirus were that it either jumped species or leaked from a laboratory. Redfield said that there has been mounting evidence to support the theory that SARS-CoV-2 came from a lab.

“I think what you have seen over the last 18 months is no new evidence to suggest that this evolved from nature. Haven’t seen any evidence of it being associated with any of the animal species they’ve tested, over 80,000 animals,” he explained. “But we have seen growing evidence to support that this in fact was a consequence of a laboratory leak. So I continue to believe of the two hypotheses that the laboratory leak is the most likely origin of this virus.”

Redfield, who was one of the first scientists to say that the pandemic likely originated in a lab, said it is “in a way tragic” to say that the pandemic was caused by science and not nature.

Leaked Email: Wuhan Lab Chief ‘Ordered Scientists Not to Talk About COVID Origins’

/0 Comments/in , /by

China covered up claims that the director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology ordered scientists not to talk about Covid, bombshell emails have revealed.

US State Department correspondence, obtained through freedom of information requests, points to more evidence of how the Communist Party tried to control the narrative during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic.

Emails uncovered by US Right to Know (USRTK) – a public health research non-profit organisation – show how the director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) told staff “not to discuss Covid-19” in January 2020.

And a memo shared by Terminus 2049 – a crowd-sourced project which archives materials censored by Chinese media outlets – showed the alleged directive from the top of the lab.

It appears to show the director general of the Wuhan lab emailing staff to “strictly prohibit” them from speaking publicly about “the unknown causes” of the virus. (Read more from “Leaked Email: Wuhan Lab Chief ‘Ordered Scientists Not to Talk About COVID Origins’” HERE)

Lawmakers Move to Defund the Wuhan Lab Suspected of Creating COVID-19

/0 Comments/in , /by

Communist China is refusing to comply with further investigation into the Wuhan lab, located in the city the pandemic originated. While the Chinese Communist Party throws a fit about the “shocking” and “offensive” proposal by the World Health Organization to audit Chinese labs claiming it projects “arrogance towards science,” some U.S. legislators haven’t given up on finding where COVID-19 came from and who needs to be held responsible for unleashing the virus on the world.

Last week, the bipartisan House Appropriations Committee voted to ban funding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology through designations in the National Institutes of Health funding bill for next year. . .

Republican Sen. Joni Ernst is just one of the conservatives fighting to prevent labs such as the Wuhan Insitute of Virology from receiving funding that could lead to dangerous conditions and potential consequences for the world.

“COVID-19 appeared in the vicinity of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), a laboratory where research was conducted on bat coronaviruses, yet the Communist Party of China refuses to cooperate with efforts to learn how a virus found in bats made the cross-species jump to humans,” Ernst told The Federalist. “What’s even more troubling is that some of the research being done at WIV was subsidized by American taxpayers despite the fact the organization funneling the money, EcoHealth Alliance, was skirting federal law and refusing to disclose the amount of money going to the WIV.” (Read more from “Lawmakers Move to Defund the Wuhan Lab Suspected of Creating COVID-19” HERE)

Even Democrats Believe COVID-19 Originated In Wuhan Lab

/0 Comments/in , /by

A majority of people, now including a slim majority of Democrats too, believe the coronavirus most likely originated in a Wuhan laboratory rather than from nature, a new poll shows, indicating a shift in public opinion since early in the pandemic as China continues to block a truly independent and thorough inquiry into COVID-19’s origins.

The new poll from Harvard University and Politico found that 52% of people in the United States, including 59% of Republicans and 52% of Democrats, believe the coronavirus emerged from a Wuhan lab, while just 28% of adults say COVID-19 began with an infected animal.

“Usually, our polls find a big split between Republicans and Democrats, so this is unique,” Bob Blendon, a professor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health who designed the poll, told Politico. “More conservative media have been carrying the ‘lab leak’ issue, and it’s been a Trump talking point from the beginning, so we expected people who lean Democratic would say either ‘It’s not true’ or ‘I don’t know.’ But the belief is bipartisan.”

The new poll, which surveyed 1,009 adults in late June and has a margin of error of 3.8 percentage points, will be released next week. It also reportedly found that “almost two-thirds of Democrats and Republicans” called the issue of investigating COVID-19’s origin either “extremely” or “very” important.

Blendon suggested: “That the president thought there was enough evidence to ask intelligence agencies to put together a report sends a signal to Democrats that there might be something there.” (Read more from “Even Democrats Believe COVID-19 Originated In Wuhan Lab” HERE)

Biden Complains About ‘Latinx’ Not Getting Vaccinated (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Thursday, President Joe Biden made an appearance in Raleigh, North Carolina, to promote vaccinations against the Wuhan coronavirus.

During his remarks, the president discussed issues of “equity” with vaccines, noting that of a team of doctors, they have one working solely on that “equity” issue. This is to do with, in part how, as Biden claimed “it’s awful hard as well to get Latinx vaccinated as well.” The president pronounced it in such a way that “Latinx” rhymes with “Kleenex.” The reason why, he explained, was because “they’re worried they’ll be vaccinated and deported,” suggesting the president was equating the “Latinx” community with illegal immigrants.

Minutes later, the president used the term “Hispanic communities.”

Despite such hesitation from certain demographics, the president shared that “across the nation, people of color accounted for more than half the vaccinations in the last month.” He was met with applause when declaring “the more we close the racial gap in vaccination rates, the more lives we can save.” (Read more from “Biden Complains About ‘Latinx’ Not Getting Vaccinated (VIDEO)” HERE)

Leaked: Hillary Warned Wuhan Lab Could Make Bioweapon

/0 Comments/in , /by

When she was secretary of state, Hillary Clinton warned in a cable to French officials that research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology could lead to a “biological weapons proliferation concern.”

The cable, obtained via Wikileaks, was addressed to all embassies in member nations ahead of a plenary session in Paris of the Australia Group, Sept. 21-25, 2009, reported Jack Posobiec for Human Events.

The international export control forum was organized to prevent the spread of chemical and biological weapons. Members include European Union nations, India, Japan and South Korea. But China is not a member.

“We believe it is important to focus on emerging chemical and biological technologies, trends in the trade of CBW-related goods and threats,” Clinton’s cable said to France.

She said participants in the forum would benefit from hearing about France’s “experiences assisting China in setting up a Biosafety Level-4 (BSL-4) laboratory at the Wuhan Institute of Virology from the export control and intangible technology transfer perspectives.” (Read more from “Leaked: Hillary Warned Wuhan Lab Could Make Bioweapon” HERE)

DISTURBING REPORT: U.S. Government Officials Encouraged COVID-19 Origin Cover-Up

/0 Comments/in , /by

A U.S. government official reportedly ordered his employees not to publicly acknowledge American connections to and funding of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), the site implicated in a potential lab-leak coronavirus origin theory.

Christopher Park did not want to open the “Pandora’s Box” of U.S. funding for gain-of-function research, according to a Thursday Vanity Fair report. The U.S. government indirectly funded gain-of-function at WIV through grants to the nonprofit group EcoHealth Alliance. That funding was not subject to a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) review board that could have rejected the grant, because the sub-agency that awarded grants did not alert the review board.

Park, the director of the State Department’s Biological Policy Staff in the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, reportedly told his employees not to say anything publicly in reference to that funding, an individual who attended the meeting where he gave his order reportedly told Vanity Fair. The individual reportedly described his comments as “so nakedly against transparency” as to be “shocking and disturbing.”

Park’s comments “smelled like a cover-up,” according to Thomas DiNanno, former acting assistant secretary of the State Department’s Bureau of Arms Control, Verification and Compliance. Park had pushed for the U.S. to resume funding gain-of-function research in 2017, according to Vanity Fair.

Quarter of Americans Think China Intentionally Released COVID-19

/1 Comment/in , /by

Recent reports have revealed that several researchers from the Wuhan, China, lab developing coronaviruses were hospitalized with symptoms of COVID-19 weeks before the pandemic that was unleashed on the world became known. . .

Further, legacy media outlets that for more than a year claimed suggestions the Wuhan lab was the source of the virus were conspiracy theories have flip-flopped, now saying that is a credible idea.

Now a YouGove poll shows most Americans are convinced the coronavirus originated in that lab, and are rejecting the World Health Organization’s assertion that it came from natural transmission from bats to humans.

“Most Americans (58%) now put the origins of COVID-19 in a Chinese laboratory — up from 49% when YouGov first asked this question in May 2020. Two in five Democrats (43%) believe it’s probably true the virus had a laboratory beginning, a 10-point increase since last year (33%). Two-thirds of Independents (65%) now think the coronavirus originated from a laboratory in China, up 17 points from last year,” the new poll documented. . .

In fact, the poll reveals that 24% say the pandemic was “created in a laboratory and was released on purpose.” (Read more from “Quarter of Americans Think China Intentionally Released COVID-19” HERE)

Report: Wuhan Researcher’s Wife Died From COVID-Like Illness in 2019

/0 Comments/in , /by

The wife of a Wuhan lab researcher working on coronaviruses died of what appeared to be COVID-19 in December 2019, the leader of a State Department investigation under the Trump administration told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

It would have been an early clue that the virus could be transmitted among humans, yet Chinese authorities said that the virus was not transmissible for at least a month after they knew it was, allowing it to spread, according to David Asher, who led an investigation on COVID-19’s origins and served in the State Department under Democrat and Republican presidents. . .

An individual who worked at the Wuhan Institute of Virology at the time provided the information on the lab researcher’s wife dying, according to Asher.

A Wall Street Journal story on Sunday reported that three Wuhan lab workers were hospitalized with COVID-like symptoms in November 2019, before the first confirmed case of COVID-19 on Dec. 8. The story’s main findings, that WIV workers had possible COVID-19 symptoms in fall 2019, before the first confirmed case, were already in a State Department statement on COVID-19’s origins released in the last days of the Trump administration.

Bombshell Report: Biden Shut Down Inquiry of Wuhan Lab Link to COVID; Media Coverup: Lying Facebook Lifts Ban on Wuhan Lab Leak

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. 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. . .

The State Department confirmed to CNN that the inquiry had stopped but said it is continuing to work with other agencies on “COVID origins issues.” (Read more from “Bombshell Report: Biden Shut Down State Department Inquiry Probing Wuhan Lab Link to COVID” HERE)

Facebook Lifts Ban on Wuhan Lab Leak Posts amid Renewed Debate over Theory

By National Review. Facebook will no longer remove posts referencing the origination theory that COVID escaped from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, a company spokesperson told Politico Wednesday.

This step marks a policy reversal from February, when Facebook announced it would root out what it called false and misleading health claims including those suggesting that “COVID-19 is man-made or manufactured.” The tech company maintained a list of debunked assertions during the pandemic in consultation with global health advisers.

The spokesperson commented that Facebook will no longer treat online content about the lab-leak theory as a qualifying misleading claim amid recent debate over the virus’s origins. (Read more from “Facebook Lifts Ban on Wuhan Lab Leak Posts Amid Renewed Debate Over Theory” HERE)
