  1. I dont understand how anyone can still believe the "bat soup" lie just because it was the official chinese communist party explanation. There was always far more evidence pointing towards a lab leak.
    It clearly came from the wuhan lab, and people involved are doing every thing they can to avoid culpability. They were doing dangerous things in China that would not be allowed in the USA, BECAUSE they were not allowed to do it in the USA. They were going to create that virus one way or another.

    This is why Fauci got a pardon. The thing is, pardons are only for crimes against the United States. Crimes commited against the human race cannot be pardoned by any one nation.

  2. The odds of SARS-COV-2 being of a natural Zoonotic origin were minimal at best given how contagious it immediately was in humans. It clearly had help in how to easily infect human cells.

    The questions that should have been asked right from the start were, was this a bioweapon intentionally released, or was it a genuine research project being done that went sideways when the virus accidentally escaped?

  3. if it was in fact man made, thank god they're lousy at making them cause it had like 99.5% survival rate. I would've expected something more devastating tbh. The biggest threat during the pandemic was people's overreaction

  4. Yes, from the reports I have heard, the probability was an accidental occurrence, not intensional ,

  5. It's strange, why is no one considering the Russian version of the origin of the Covid 19 virus? In 2018, in a Russian laboratory that studied coronaviruses, in the city of Novosibirsk, there was an explosion and a local outbreak of pneumonia!

  6. So ….. The crushed the bat stew industry without cause. What about those businesses?

  7. I remember people being crucified for saying that the virus originated in Wuhan…In fact they said you were a racist if you made such statements…People lost jobs with their beliefs..Twitter and Facebook blocked or banned people who made such statements. Liberal politicians said that these people were "dangerous" …It is the big reason Elon Musk bought Twitter

  8. I think the CIA are the only ones that don’t know the CIA was involved. Freaking Fauci is in it up to his short 4’5” ears.

  9. Is the media stupid? We knew 5 years ago the troll Fauci created this and let it out, this is old news

  10. This does NOT mean covid was lab-created, rubes. It means the CIA claims it was, but it was so skeptical of their own report it was never released, until now when the orange fascist takes office so rubes will think he's Jeebus.

  11. Theory? CIA, and you, their media assets are human vermin. Betrayers of humanity. Leak? You want proof it wasn't a leak? How about asking, why dud Nancy Pelosi 🤔 hold on to Trump's first impeachment vote, coming out of the house, for over 2 weeks? Then, after telling the press, and the country, she would hand deliver the vote when she was damn good and ready. So, 2+ weeks go by, then the first case of covid is confirmed in Seattle, Washington. THAT NIGHT, she walks across the hall to deliver the vote to impeach to the Senate? Coincidence? This is mass global murder with a bioweapon. To weaken voter count times, to cheat an election democrats knew they could not, and DID NOT win.

  12. Lies they always blame other people and we are not able to see with your eyes

    You are not able to trust no one

    we are not paying attention
    to what's very important

    We are not included in their decisions about what is best for our creators earth

    Don't know who is who or what or why or where or when

    We don't know who we are

    I love you more

  13. This is now being released, because the conspiracy therorist in chief Donald Trump is in charge and that’s the narrative he has pushed, but it’s like in the 1980’s when the Russians accused the US of creating AIDS at the Army biological weapons lab at Fort Detrick Maryland there is little truth to it.

  14. Probably a better idea that they release the info than Trump finds out😂

  15. This ain’t “new” information.
    Biden/ Harris sat on this and prevented this from reaching the American people. Effing criminal!

  16. Wasn’t this already proven? Even in Taiwan at first they called it 武漢肺炎 which is “Wu Han Pneumonia/lung inflammation”. The only reason anyone backpedaled is because in America, Australia, Canada, England and other majority white western countries, ignorant people started attacking East Asian people. If people could separate politics from race (among other things) we wouldn’t be seeing this right now in 2025.

  17. Don't be fooled by the Silent Elephant.
    Not a Word About that PCR Test Cycle Threshold and why the flu Vanished for 2yrs while Bird Flew is Determined by the same PCR Diagnostic Test.
    Very few Know why they're promoting the Lab leak Theory.

  18. Do your own research if you dont believe me, you'll have to look past the MSM propaganda BS but truth is it came from the lab is in Maryland. Fort Detrick. The same year that the mysterious vaping disease spread across Murica.

    In June 2019: According to a report by ABC on July 12, 2019, an outbreak of an unexplained respiratory disease occurred in the Green Spring retirement community in Springfield, Fairfax County, northern Virginia in June 2019. At the time, 54 people were infected with the disease and two deaths related to the disease occurred. Patients’ symptoms included “fever, cough, body aches, wheezing, hoarseness and general weakness”, and some patients also had symptoms of pneumonia. According to staff at the Fairfax County Health Department, in general, local nursing homes are unlikely to have respiratory disease in the summer.

    July 2019: According to media reports, the vaping-related lung disease, or EVALI was reported in the US as early as July 2019, the same month the US CDC issued a "cease and desist order" to halt most research at Fort Detrick. Due to the similarity of symptoms between EVALI and COVID-19 and no nucleic acid detection kits available, it's highly likely that some COVID-19 patients were actually misdiagnosed as EVALI patients in 2019. It was suggested that the US should run antibody tests on blood samples of EVALI patients to find out how many of them were actually COVID-19 patients, and share the data with global scientists to help the world get closer to the COVID-19 origins.

    August 2, 2019: The Washington Post reported that Virginia health official, Jonathan Foco, found that the number of respiratory disease outbreaks reported locally increased by about half in the summer of 2019, including the outbreak in the Green Spring community. They reported to National Health Institute and it was confirmed to be an unknown virus.

    August 14 2019: Frederick News-Post
    “The CDC sent a letter on July 15 shutting down level 3 and 4 labs at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick. The CDC found deficiencies with the labs where infectious diseases such as the Ebola virus, plague and Venezuelan equine encephalitis are studied. Those labs, operated by USAMRIID, failed to follow local procedures, lacked periodic recertification training of employees, and had problems with the wastewater decontamination system.” Fort Detrick is about an hour’s drive from Springfield (see above).

    September 2019: Vaping-related lung illness cases doubled in Maryland where the Fort Detrick lab is located, adding to the suspicion on the lab, which has stored the most deadly and infectious viruses in the world, including Ebola, smallpox, SARS, MERS and the novel coronavirus.

    16th October 2019: 300 USA soldiers arrived Wuhan for the World Military Games. The 7th CISM Military World Games, were held in Wuhan from October 18-27th 2019. A number of athletes reported experiencing symptoms reminiscent of COVID-19 around the time of the games. French athletes were affected, experiencing breathing difficulties. Some Swedish athletes also reported illnesses. Five athletes from the United States returned home early with a diagnosis of Malaria. No laboratory testing was performed on sick athletes in Wuhan. Jacques Reis, MD PhD, et al. wrote that the games were possibly a superspreader event.

    December 2019, Covid spread out in Wuhan.

    The Chinese Foreign Ministry has previously urged the US to take four steps on COVID-19 origins tracing if it wants to show transparency, including disclosing data on early COVID-19 cases, inviting the World Health Organization (WHO) to probe Fort Detrick and the University of North Carolina, and publishing data on sick soldiers who attended the Wuhan Military World Games, amid mounting calls from China and the international community to investigate the US on COVID-19 origins and growing outrage on the Biden administration's political maneuver which severely hampered the global virus tracing task.

  19. So phizer is guilty as well for vaccine for profits on fear or mishandling of another country origin that maybe in bipartisanship with Zio biotech industries that are compromised with ccp and black rock WEF and WHO. Destroyed many lives.

  20. Report said it’s most likely this is how it happened. But very possible it came from another source. Nothing definitive in this report.

  21. 😂😂😂 dumb media & dumb sheeps were all wrong. And everyone involved with engineering this vaxxs are laughing with all the money they have made!

  22. I feel like this would have been known sooner had the country not been so politically polarized when the virus started.
