The U.S. State Department says that in the autumn of 2019, before the first identified case of COVID-19, several researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick with an illness that may have been COVID-19.
“This raises questions about the credibility of WIV senior researcher Shi Zhengli’s public claim that there was ‘zero infection’ among the WIV’s staff and students of SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-related viruses,” the State Department reported on Jan. 15, 2021.
“Accidental infections in labs have caused several previous virus outbreaks in China and elsewhere, including a 2004 SARS outbreak in Beijing that infected nine people, killing one. The CCP [Chinese Communist Party] has prevented independent journalists, investigators, and global health authorities from interviewing researchers at the WIV, including those who were ill in the fall of 2019. Any credible inquiry into the origin of the virus must include interviews with these researchers and a full accounting of their previously unreported illness,” the agency wrote in a new fact sheet.
None of that cooperation is likely to happen from the Chinese, but the report goes on to detail the experiments going on at the Wuhan lab, including, “starting in 2016 – and with no indication of a stop prior to the COVID-19 outbreak – WIV researchers conducted experiments involving RaTG13, the bat coronavirus identified by the WIV in January 2020 as its closest sample to SARS-CoV-2 (96.2% similar).”
Secrecy is standard operating procedure for China. The State Department says that the U.S. has raised concerns for years about China’s past biological weapons work, which fall under obligations of the Biological Weapons Convention.
The lab was engaged in international coronavirus research after the 2003 SARS outbreak and has since studied animals including mice, bats, and pangolins [anteaters], the report says.
“Despite the WIV presenting itself as a civilian institution, the United States has determined that the WIV has collaborated on publications and secret projects with China’s military. The WIV has engaged in classified research, including laboratory animal experiments, on behalf of the Chinese military since at least 2017,” the State Department alleged.
Had a friend that had all the symptoms in late October 2019 and was sick for 5 to 6 weeks and he never traveled off the Kenai Peninsula.
Yes, in February last year there was a large outbreak in Anchorage, largely due to air freight operations. No test for that, but most of us have had this by now. But let’s quit picking on the little Chinese people, why would they wish to do us harm? Let’s just keep buying their goods produced by their political detainees and children while we scream injustice in our own country. Chinese lives don’t matter. And our history of slavery of 150 years ago must be punished while 39 plus countries still engage in active slavery. Yet, we still buy goods from them. The only thing in my possession made in China is a pair of chopsticks, just in case of visitors. The Chinese can take our election, buy our industries, buy our politians, colleges,but they can’t make me buy their products. I will buy retro products. And by the way, I don’t recall the labor unions pictching a fit when corporations sold out to foreign production of American labeled goods. Sorry, just unloading.
True. One of our students returned from a trip to China with the virus around Thanksgiving 2019. Most of the classroom and staff subsequently contracted the virus. But we didn’t know it was deadly, and all recovered speedily.
There was a school in Anchorage that over a third of the kids were out in November 2019 with a mysterious flu like illness. It wasn’t the flu though.
How much did Bill Gates and his various foundations invest in the Wuhan lab? And what was Fauchi’s involvements with it? The very creeps capitalizing off the response and the vaccines were major investors and players in the lab that let it loose in the first place.
If an energy company let nuclear contamination loose on the world they would be (And have been) held libel.
If an drilling company let contaminants leak into the ground water from fracking, they would be (and have been) held libel.
If an oil transportation company let oil into a stream or the ocean, or on the ground, they would be (and have been) held libel.
Only in today’s world can you invest in a lab in China in order to profit from the benefit of their secretive practices, screw up and release a disease that crippled the entire worlds economies and kills millions of innocent people from all nations…. and profiteer from selling the cure… and the PPE, and the Microsoft Teams apps, and the list goes on… with NO liability whatsoever;(
The Wuhan Labs are financed and run by Bill Gates and Dr Fauci. Of course they’re crooked and tied in with the Chinese military. They forgot to mention all the children born with deformities in Africa after the mothers were given experimental vaccines, courtesy of Mr Gates and the Wuhan Labs of course.
The fact sheet for January 16, 2021 that is referenced here is no longer on the State Department’s website.
