U.S. Intelligence Claims That Covid May Have Escaped from Chinese Lab
According to a recent declassified report, U.S. intelligence have remarked that the lab leak theory, which claims that the global spread of Covid began when the virus escaped from a Chinese laboratory by accident, is a plausible explanation, but has stated that the disease was never intended to be a biological weapon. The Telegraph has the story.
The report, which China branded a “farce”, said agencies may never be able to identify the source of the global pandemic but dismissed accusations that Covid was developed as a bioweapon.
Those pushing that theory have been accused of disinformation and had “no direct access” to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, it said.
One intelligence agency said it had “moderate confidence” that the first infection was probably because of a laboratory accident involving experiments and animals at the Wuhan Institute.
The report updates a review ordered by President Joe Biden amid political infighting over how much to blame China rather than governments that may not have moved quickly enough to protect citizens.
Former Republican President Donald Trump – who lost his bid for re-election as the deadly pandemic ravaged the US economy – and many of his supporters referred to Covid as the “China virus.”
The Chinese embassy in Washington said, “The U.S. moves of relying on its intelligence apparatus instead of scientists to trace the origins of Covid is a complete political farce.
“We have been supporting science-based efforts on origins tracing, and will continue to stay actively engaged. That said, we firmly oppose attempts to politicise this issue.”

1) Never believe any statements from any Intelligence Service.
2) For info, the picture is of the Chinese hockey team at an airport going to an away game.
….the NWO game!
Btw, good show chaps, thanks for obliging with the hazmat suits 🙂
1) Especially when those statements concern WMD and contain the words ’45 minutes’.
2) Chineses hockey must be a very dangerous sport.
Really! You don’t say! Who would have thought that a virus appearing in a food market actually originated from the virology research laboratory which is literally next door, where they do all sorts on dangerous and unethical research in shoddy conditions, and not with a population of bats half way across China that also happened to be in hibernation at the time… I couldn’t have imagined such a turn of events!
/s
Where or how Covid originated is not really the issue for me. It is the insane worldwide REACTION to it that has been far and away the bigger problem.
I think it matters insofar as how much they planned for just this event. if it leaked (or was deliberately released) they would have known what it could do, since, by definition, that was what they were researching!
The fools occupied the hospice…
So, how about Fauci and Rick Bright camping it up at a conference on 29 October 2019 https://rumble.com/vnh8qk-fauci-hhs-officials-discuss-using-new-virus-from-china-to-enforce-universal.html?mref=7ju1&mrefc=2
Chinese Intelligence claim it came from a US lab.
Of course! No gain in lying.
P. Daszak and A. Fauci are pure Chinese. Even eat puppies with sticks.
Surely to God nobody gives a flying flamingo at this late stage where the hell this mysterious virus might came from, if anywhere. It’s all a gigantic nervous breakdown scenario promulgated by the ever-hyping media via rags conforming to the description “The Daily Twit” (that’s all of them).
Some enterprising, honest, polling outfit (are there any not already owned?) that wants to go down well in history should organise a national poll and ask respondents:
(a). How many people do you know who have been affected by the virus?
(b). How many people do you know have been seriously ill from it?
Properly aggregated, tabulated and widely disseminated the results would surely put an end to this bloody nonsense. Obviously the nightmare MSM wouldn’t cover it in a million years.
There is, however, the “Fool Me Once” Principle (which I just made up).
If they can fool us once and get away with it, then they are much more likely to keep fooling us again and again and again.
Anyway, on a completely unrelated note… 3rd booster shot, sir? 😉
@OliveTrees, You may find it worthwhile to take a look at the Diderot Effect that advertisers are taught about.
Thanks. I’ll take a look.
a) Everyone I know.
b) Nobody I know.
Think about the condemnation (or mysterious disappearance) of some luvely people from the Bottom, Françh, I taly and other sympathetic regions…
I agree with much of what you say but vehemently disagree on where it came from. It is essential that it is proven exactly where it came from, who funded it, who was involved and that they are prosecuted for it. That is the only way the world can put in place measures to prevent it ever happening again. We all know it was gain of function research carried out by the Wuhan Institute with funding from America and the world needs to see indisputable evidence of this.
Well, you won’t get that, because we’ve burnt it all.

In answer to the questions:
1) Nobody I know has been affected by the virus but everyone in the world has been adversely affect by the hysterical overreaction to the virus.
2) Nobody. Not one single person. Although there was a guy at work who thought he might have it and had one day off work.
As history has shown, if they’re telling you one thing, they’re hiding another thing. So i’m going with my gut instinct, to quote Bruce Springsteen – Born in the U.S.A. (Official Video)
It’s good to know the off-the-book funds are going somewhere productive.
Wake me up when they manage to tie in Event 201 (October 18, 2019), and the Military World Games (Wuhan, October 18 – 27), not to mention all the relevant patents to SARS-COV mentioned by David Martin in his Fauci Dossier, going back to the late 90’s and early 2000’s.
Touché!
Funny isn’t it how it was all patented but doesn’t exist, never existed, wasn’t even considered Guvnor?

That one cheered up a soggy Sunday afternoon.

Not a bioweapon?

.U.S. Intelligence Claims That Covid May Have Escaped from Chinese Lab
it’s just a statement of fact, it could have come back from the moon on Apolo 11 or lain undiscovered in tutankhamun’s tomb for thousands of years.
Not the article to add this comment to but does anyone else think that PM mr Johnson did not have COVID at all but it was a stunt created by the NUDGE unit in collaboration with SAGE in order to accelerate the narrative? Just a thought.
No politician is EVER ill. Examples: Stalin, Roosevelt, Fidel, Franco and more…
To be fair, Lenin still looks the part…
I thought exactly that at the time “We’re all in it together chaps bullshit” was pretty much what I was thinking.
No reason to think it wasn’t a stunt, these people lie for a living.
It wasn’t a bioweapon. How can they be so sure? There seems little doubt that China, along with their stooges in the WHO, manipulated the facts in Dec. 2019-Feb 2020 in order to make the virus seem like a bigger threat than it was thus making it more likely that Western governments would impose lockdowns and trash their economies so that China could benefit. Therefore if China had the virus and felt it was possible to gain economically by releasing it along with masses of misinformation I think it’s at least plausible that they would do so. Bioweapons don’t need to kill a large percentage of the population in order to be effective, other types of damage e.g. to a countries economy can be equally effective if one country stands to benefit. I’m sure it wasn’t developed as a bioweapon, it’s more a case of the Chinese realising after it had been created that it could be used as one. Any sort of lab leak theory used to be regarded as a conspiracy theory, but is now being taken seriously therefore it’s possible that the deliberate release theory could also eventually go from mad conspiracy theory to being taken seriously.… Read more »
Every capable military power in the world has known for many years that variants of SARS could serve as bioweapons whether it says so in today’s edition of the SIS house rag the Telegraph or not.
Why assume SARSCoV2 got to the West from the Wuhan lab? In any case, the Wuhan research was partly US-funded.
I’d say fully funded. And a lot of Lab techies went from France.
Weaponised and patented coronaviruses have been around for many years, as Dr David Martin has proved. People need to ask themselves which country is it, that has spent most of the 21st century doing all it can to bully and subdue China.
Highest Covid numbers in hospital since March despite 91%+ jabbed
Ireland now has the highest number of patients in hospital with Covid-19 since March, despite over 91% of the population over-12 being vaccinated – the highest jab rate in the EU.
Notably, Waterford city, which has the State’s highest rate of Covid-19 infection, has an adult population which is 99.7% fully-vaccinated, making it one of the most vaccinated regions in the entire world.
https://gript.ie/highest-covid-numbers-in-hospital-since-march-despite-91-jabbed/
How is inter-community feeling in Waterford between those with traveller backgrounds and those without, I wonder?
Hospitalised with covid or ADE?
wondering any thing about their health , overweight? other health problems?
Clearly a lack of critical thinking in Ireland as a whole and there must an extra large helping of fluoride coming through Waterford taps.
Blaming China is a false flag. The CV bioweapon was created with US taxpayers money, the work was funded by the NIH, and because gain-of-function research is illegal in US law, was outsourced to the Wuhan lab (also built with funding from multiple sources, including the US and France.)
There is a long paper trail of patent applications on SARS coronaviruses going back to the 1990’s. None of them jumped naturally into humans but were engineered to be able to use human cellular receptors. SARS-CoV-2 is just the latest in line.
Virologists are very keen to patent the methods they invent to insert new genetic features into viruses. There is a lot of money to be made, and because these patents must be filed to preserve your intellectual property (and financial returns) there is plenty of evidence over the years for how this was done.

Dr Fleming’s discussion with Mike Adams is a good introduction to this. I do not know what to make of Dr Fleming, he is not easy to warm to, but he is certainly brave.
As far as I can judge, his information on the history of all this is accurate. “Gain of function” is just a euphemism for bioweapons research. I looked into this ten years ago, and realised how dangerous the research was then. It purports to be protective, but the virologists know they are weaponising viruses, and there are unlimited funds for this kind of work
Yes, nobody seems to ask the simple question: WHY would you want to make a virus more infectious to humans (if it isn’t a bioweapon)?
Very pertinent question.
The first time that any coronavirus was isolated was at the “Common Cold Unit”, a front for British biowarfare research. They even boast about it at the Science Museum.
Click here for some British government propaganda relating to “common cold research”, 1947.
The Nuremburg trials had ended the previous year.
The Khabarovsk trials, which far fewer British people have ever heard of, hadn’t started yet. Held in 1949, they considered biowar charges made against leading figures in the Japanese military.
Well, when you can kidnap people from anywhere in the world and stick them in Gitmo, where torture isn’t torture because the Prez says so, then what harm could a bit of GoF experimentation ‘off-campus’ do?
They keep going over the same old things but nobody ever mentions why China released videos of supposed citizens apparently dropping dead in the streets.
By accident or design they’re up to their necks in it.
Something a little stronger was likely released in China. This is Dr Lee Merritt’s theory.
Don’t forget Italy, where SARSCoV2 may have been spreading before it “emerged from Wuhan”.
Nor for that matter, Korea.
I thought this was supposed to be a website for “sceptics” 🙂
Look too at the early spread – or at least the early spread of something, possibly several somethings, including in Italy, Iran, and South Korea.
“More than half of South Korea’s novel coronavirus cases are linked to a branch of a controversial religious group in the southern city of Daegu”. (Article from 22 Feb 2020.)
Some of these sceptics have 77th Brigade accreditation.
The report is here if anyone wants to read it. https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/Declassified-Assessment-on-COVID-19-Origins.pdf Absolutely rubbish report. Most IC analysts assess with low confidence that SARS-CoV-2 was not genetically engineered. But… IC analysts do not have higher confidence that SARS-CoV-2 was not genetically engineered They did not categorically state that “the disease was never intended to be a biological weapon.” They said under the sub-heading ‘Probably Not a Biological Weapon’ “We remain skeptical of allegations that SARS-CoV-2 was a biological weapon”. Being sceptical is not the same as denial. And when we go to Appendix B, we find that the basis if their scepticism rests merely on some people’s views of the articles of a single virologist: The IC assesses that public claims from a Hong Kong virologist that Beijing created SARS-CoV-2 as a biological weapon are inconsistent with available technical information on coronaviruses…The scientific community did not peer review these articles and some publicly rejected the articles’ claims as scientifically unsound. Oh, so SOME rejected the claims and others refused to do peer review. So that nails it, does it? Really, this report is pathetic, and very much a whitewash and attempt to kick the whole thing into the long grass. This… Read more »
Why do so many pussyfoot around with this? The evidence is absolutely clear as are the “coincidences”. The Chinese admit it started in Wuhan right next to a viral laboratory that is known to be working on enhancement of coronavirus to infect humans. Said laboratory was funded via Peter Dascak and the money was supplied by none other than Anthony Fauci. The records are all out there.
The Chinese admit the outbreak started at Wuhan market which happens to be right next to a viral laboratory for heavens sake. A laboratory that actively captured bats from thousands of miles away. Does anyone seriously believe the Chinese explanation that some bat flew thousands of miles from a cave that the Wuahn Laboratory is known to have collected bats from and infected some poor trader at Wuhan market? The other one has bells and assorted tinsel!
We can’t blame China because then they might be nasty and call in their debts. And then stop exporting all their plastic tat which we buy up so eagerly because it’s ‘cheap’.
Look around your homes and see how many items you have Made in China.
Batteries (for torches, etc.) are sold in one of our local shops – yes, they are coloured green (Climate Change innit?!) and Made in China. They will last 5 minutes in a torch before being tossed in a bin – environmentally friendly? Cheap?
Lingonberry jam is also sold in one of our shops – these jams contain berries from China.
Blue face masks – Made in China – litter our streets – they have been thrown on the ground just about everywhere.
Things are seldom what the security sevices would want us to believe. China was likely always being set up from the time it stupidly agreed to do dodgy research for US interests.
In other news, I noticed a duck swimming today.
I am fascinated how the pharmaceutical companies were able to design an experimental biological, when they had absolutely no idea what they were treating. I guess we now know, after billions spent and wasted, they had absolutely no idea what they were “vaccinating” against. This is almost laughable, if it were not so serious. Hundreds of thousands now injured by Big Pharmas blunder, and thousands dead. Efficacy, zero.
I’m equally fascinated by the requirement for blanket indemnity for the pharmas making the vaccines, which we’re told are ‘safe’ even though in use under emergency measures.
I don’t think that ANYONE ever believed that the virus was a bioweapon. Just killing the elderly is hardly a war-winning strategy. That was just a bit of exaggeration thrown into the mix to encourage conspiracy theories which could then be used to smear any concerns.
HOWEVER, seeing the ready spread of a respiratory coronavirus, I suspect that bioweapons researchers are currently looking at how to make an effective weapon out of them…
