An Accidental Lab Leak of a Genetically Engineered Virus

 

The October 2021 declassified US intelligence community report on the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 muddied the water on the origins of the virus.

Before that report was released, there had been months of open-source reporting from scientists around the world speculating that the likely origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was the Wuhan Institute of Virology, not the so-called zoonotic disease theory (i.e., a naturally-occurring virus jumped from an animal – supposedly a bat in a Wuhan “wet market” – to a human) that has been widely propagated by the state-run Chinese media, the highly politicized World Health Organization, corrupt medical trade journals like The Lancet, and Western media anxious to divert attention from the People’s Republic of China. Even a US government agency, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory had concluded in a classified report in May 2020 “that the hypothesis claiming the virus leaked from a Chinese lab in Wuhan is plausible and deserves further investigation.”

But, an article in The Wall Street Journal quoted from that declassified intelligence report and made this incredible claim: “Researchers at a Wuhan, China, laboratory were probably unaware of the existence of the virus that causes Covid-19 before the pandemic began in late 2019, and if it leaked from the lab, it was likely the result of an accident not connected to deliberate genetic engineering.” Incredible, as in not believable at all!

Here is one item that was conveniently dropped down the memory hole in compiling that “intelligence report” and the WSJ story that torpedoes the contention that the zoonotic theory is still possible. Four months prior in June 2021 on its own pages, the The Wall Street Journal reported that the CGG-CGG amino acid sequence found in the CCP virus is manmade and can only have been inserted through gain-of-function research, as the CGG-CGG sequence is not found in nature. How did the US intelligence community sidestep that inconvenient truth in concluding that “U.S. government analysts cannot determine whether the global pandemic emerged when the virus passed to humans from an animal, or from a laboratory accident”? Did the 18 intelligence agencies that reviewed the final report neglect to review that study because the story reporting it was behind a paywall and not readily accessible?

A second item conveniently forgotten was the study completed by British Professor Angus Dalgleish and Norwegian scientist Dr. Birger Sørensen in May 2021 that “claims that Chinese scientists created COVID-19 in a Wuhan lab.” The two scientists also claim to have first-hand evidence of Chinese “retro-engineering” in hand for over a year but were ignored by the scientific community and others. Another stake in the heart of the zoonotic theory!

The final inconvenient truth is from Oxford Students, which provided this final stake in the heart of the zoonotic theory: “Research by Oxford’s Wildlife Conservation Fellow, Professor David Macdonald, has shown that neither bats nor pangolins were sold at Wuhan’s wet markets between May 2017 and November 2019.”

To summarize:

1. The October WSJ article quoted a US intel community report that claimed: a) that researchers at the WIV were “probably unaware” of the virus before Patient Zero contracted it, and b) the virus was not “connected to deliberate genetic engineering.”
2. The virus contains a CGG-CGG sequence not found in nature, ergo it was genetically engineered.
3. Evidence of Chinese virus “retro-engineering” has been suppressed for well over a year.
4. There were no bats or pangolins sold in the Wuhan wet markets between May 2017 and November 2019.
5. Conclusion: The zoonotic theory is a farce and complete misdirection.
6. Secondary conclusion: Open-source research-derived evidence trumps classified obfuscation by the US intelligence community.

No facts have ever been presented by the CCP – who know best! – that Patient Zero was anywhere other than in Wuhan city, Hubei province. In fact, all clinical evidence gathered to date points directly to Wuhan as ground zero for the outbreak. The only question is whether the outbreak was mendacious and accidental or mendacious and purposeful because the CCP lies have persisted regardless of which is correct. Regardless of which is true, the virus was human-engineered through gain-of-function research.

To this day, the US intel community cannot conclude which alternative is correct either and apparently want us to believe a theory that the lab researchers who handled virus-contaminated material were simply unaware of the potential dangers and blithely went about their jobs in a biosafety level 4 laboratory without taking appropriate personal precautions. Who truly believes that fantasy? Focusing on “accidental release” rather than the virus origin itself is a poor attempt to exonerate the CCP – yet another gift from Joe Biden to Xi Jinping.

Even though that intel community report concluded that almost certainly the virus originated in Wuhan, never mind pressing the CCP for accountability for that bio-engineered virus that is still destroying the world economy and the lives of many innocents around the world. If the virus had not been bio-engineered in the first place, whether it was “leaked” purposely or accidentally would be irrelevant because the ensuing damage would not have occurred.

The state-run Chinese media tell us everything we need to know about the true origins of the virus. They know perfectly well that the virus was engineered, with the WIV being its last port of call before it was released into the human population. Denial and blame-shifting, including by Xi Jinping and his wolf warrior diplomats, mask that reality, as they seek to avoid the financial pain that is coming when world consensus develops that restitution from the PRC for the damages inflicted by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is warranted and lawful.

And denial and blame-shifting about the virus origins has continued unabated in Chinese state-run media from early 2020 until the present day. Here are a couple of headlines that tell the tale:

• Objective, scientific, responsible attitude should be adopted for COVID-19 origins tracing: Chinese FM [People’s Daily]
• China slams “declassified assessment on COVID-19 origins” released by U.S. [Xinhua]
• Stop scapegoating China! Chinese FM rejects US intelligence-led origins-tracing report [Global Times]

Conclusion: When all is said and done, and when all the CCP propaganda and denials are deconstructed, the facts remain – the Communist Chinese government and their media mouthpieces know that the human-engineered SARS-CoV-2 virus originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s Biosafety Level 4 laboratory. And they know that the world will soon be knocking on their doors demanding restitution – the worst possible situation for them given the economic problems China is experiencing thanks to their self-imposed “zero COVID policy” lockdowns. Hence their continuing complete denials in the face of all evidence to the contrary, even after a US intelligence community report provided them with a little bit of shade.

The end.
