Covid 'leaked from Wuhan lab in cover up worse than Watergate'

[Eldorado]

Covid-19 was leaked from a Chinese lab in a "cover up" that's been slammed as "worse than Watergate", it has been claimed in a new book on the pandemic.

The first case of the novel coronavirus was reported in Wuhan back in December 2019, and the mainstream theory has since been that the virus had natural origins around the city, perhaps in the 'wet market'.

But almost two years on - and more than 4.7million deaths since the pandemic broke out across the world - author and investigative journalist Sharri Markson said there is evidence the virus was leaked.

She started those claims 18 months ago. She still has not shown her evidence. She refuses to reveal her source(s).

And yet she still gets headlines. Why?

Did you expect photos and moles going public?  Besides, these arguments actually don't matter with respect to placing the blame on the CCP.  It literally does not matter if they used gain of function research to create SARS-COV-2 or if it was purely zoonotic.  The fact that they KNEW they had a novel coronavirus very early on in the emergency, and they allowed international outbound flights while locking down Hubei province from the rest of China is all the proof needed of their guilt.  They used the situation to "spread the wealth" so to speak.   Also, there is simply too much information about gain of function research, partly funded by the U.S., to simply dismiss the growing probability that SARS-COV-2 WAS a man-made scourge that either leaked or was leaked by our enemies.

The worst part of this situation is that if they aren't held to account in any way, WHY wouldn't they do it again, but with a much more deadly pathogen that their research allowed them to vaccinate for?

Sigh. More conspiracy theory nonsense.

The problem with your "China gains" theory is that they don't.

There are so many factors in play in the world economy and in the power balance, that the last thing they would want to do, is upset it. They were on a roll before Covid. They are no longer.

He's taking about gain of function research.

Mystery of missing activists who spoke out about China’s Covid cover-up

They risked everything to tell the world about the mysterious and deadly virus spreading through Wuhan. And then, they vanished.

But by your train of logic, the US is also complicit in this. Medical professionals and scientists were telling the US government early in the mess that masks were needed, social distancing, lockdowns, etc but they totally ignored it, downplayed it, allowed Thanksgiving travel and set up a super-spreader event... all whilst allowing intra- and international air travel.

 

So both the CCP and the US are responsible, right?

U.S. Report Found It Plausible Covid-19 Leaked From Wuhan Lab

The WHO's Chief Says It Was Premature To Rule Out A Lab Leak As The Pandemic's Origin

• China had only one Level 4 lab that can “handle deadly coronaviruses,” and that lab just happened to be located in Wuhan at the very “epicenter of the epidemic.”
• Underlining China’s shoddy lab-safety record, Xi Jinping himself had, in the early days of the crisis, warned about “lab safety” as a national-security priority.
• Following Xi’s guidance, “the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology released a new directive titled: ‘Instructions on strengthening biosecurity management in ­microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus.’ ”
• As soon as the outbreak began, China’s military was put in charge, with the PLA’s top biowar expert, General Chen Wei, dispatched to Wuhan to deal with it.

Even at the time there was other evidence available, which likewise pointed to the lab — and to the PLA’s involvement:

• The authorities ordered all of the early samples of the coronavirus collected by private and university labs in China — vital for tracing the origin and early spread of the disease — to be destroyed.
• China’s civilian Center for Disease Control was completely shut out of the picture in favor of the PLA, suggesting a classified military program was involved.
• Military academies and installations in and around Wuhan were closed around January 1, well before the Chinese public was notified that there was a problem.
• China lied about human-to-human transmission, leaving the US and other countries unprepared for the rapid spread of the virus, ensuring that more lives would be lost.

Nevertheless, shortly after I became President, in March, I had my National Security Advisor task the Intelligence Community to prepare a report on their most up-to-date analysis of the origins of COVID-19, including whether it emerged from human contact with an infected animal or from a laboratory accident. I received that report earlier this month, and asked for additional follow-up. As of today, the U.S. Intelligence Community has “coalesced around two likely scenarios” but has not reached a definitive conclusion on this question. Here is their current position: “while two elements in the IC leans toward the former scenario and one leans more toward the latter – each with low or moderate confidence – the majority of elements do not believe there is sufficient information to assess one to be more likely than the other.”

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/05/26/statement-by-president-joe-biden-on-the-investigation-into-the-origins-of-covid-19/  That is from May. The full text mentions another report due in 90 days. I don’t know if that report was released or not or what it might have found.
