In late January we asked whether a prolific Chinese scientist who was experimenting with bat coronavirus at a level-4 biolab in Wuhan China was responsible for the current outbreak of a virus which is 96% genetically identical – and which saw an explosion in cases at a wet market located just down the street. For suggesting this, we were kicked off Twitter and had the pleasure of several articles written by MSM hacks regarding our ‘conspiracy theory’ – none of which addressed the plethora of hard evidence linked in the post. These are the same people, mind you, who pushed the outlandish and evidence-free Trump-Russia conspiracy theory for years. Whether or not the virus was engineered (scientists swear it wasn’t) – it shouldn’t take Perry Mason to conclude that a virulent coronavirus outbreak which started near a biolab that was experimenting with — coronavirus — bears scrutiny. Could a lab worker have accidentally infected themselves – then gone shopping for meat at the market over several days, during the long, asymptomatic incubation period? In February, researchers Botao Xial and Lei Xiao published a quickly-retracted paper titled “The possible origins of 2019-nCoV coronavirus” – which speculated that the virus came from the Wuhan biolab. Now, mainstream outlets are catching on – or at least have become brave enough to similarly connect the dots. Earlier this week, Fox News‘ Tucker Carlson suggested that COVID-19 may have originated in a lab.

Several Chinese state media outlets in recent months touted the virus research and lionized in particular a key researcher in Wuhan, Tian Junhua, as a leader in bat virus work. The coronavirus strain now infecting hundreds of thousands of people globally mutated from bats believed to have infected animals and people at a wild animal market in Wuhan. The exact origin of the virus, however, remains a mystery. –Washington Times “This is one of the worst cover-ups in human history, and now the world is facing a global pandemic,” said Texas GOP Rep. Michael T. McFoul – a ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. McFoul believes China should be held accountable for the outbreak. Meanwhile, a video from December funded by the Chinese government shows Tian collecting samples from captured bats and storing them in vials. “I am not a doctor, but I work to cure and save people,” said Tian, adding “I am not a soldier, but I work to safeguard an invisible national defense line.” The mainstream theory behind the virus is that it crossed over to humans after first infecting an intermediary species – such as a pangolin.
