FBI Director Christopher Wray waited until February 2023. speak publicly The agency's assessment that the coronavirus “most likely” originated from a notorious laboratory in Wuhan, China. There, a dangerous gain-of-function experiment with the coronavirus was conducted with apparently zero patients.
according to new report According to Michael Shellenberger's investigative agency Public, the FBI may have known about the lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology years ago, as early as March 2020.
Sources recently told the public that a Chinese national working as an FBI informant in Wuhan told an official in the agency's China intelligence unit that “the virus lab in Wuhan, China, A person working there became infected and left the building.” and spread the virus outside the Wuhan lab. ”
It's unclear if this walking biohazard is one of the Wall Street Journal's first WIV researchers report They had been hospitalized in November 2019, before the outbreak, with “symptoms consistent with both COVID-19 and a common seasonal disease.”
“It had nothing to do with wet markets or bat soup,” the informant reportedly told the FBI.
Officials suggested the information was likely spread among 25 people in China's intelligence service. Plus, the team would have taken it seriously. [confidential human source] The person, who is originally from Wuhan and has been under scrutiny, has provided information on three previous occasions that he deems to be true and reliable. ”
Another official stressed that the institute's leaked information was considered “excellent information.”
The sources who provided these insights asked the public to keep their identities secret, indicating that they were only speaking out now “out of concern for abuse of power within the FBI.” Ta.
This is not the first posthumous blow in recent days to the theory of zoonotic disease, once advanced by Anthony Fauci and those involved in his cover-up.
The watchdog group US Right to Know made the announcement Thursday. document Obtained through Freedom of Information Act request regarding controversial 2018.”Cancellation“Grant application submitted by Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
according to According to USRTK, the genome of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is very similar to the pathogen's blueprint detailed in a research proposal.
The watchdog said newly released drafts and memos about the grant application revealed plans by researchers including University of North Carolina professor Ralph Barrick.
- Insert a furin cleavage site at the S1/S2 junction of the spike protein.
- Assemble the synthetic virus into six segments.
- Identify coronaviruses that are up to 25% different from SARS.
- Select a receptor binding domain suitable for infection of human receptors.
The proposed furin cleavage site has special significance because virologists have not yet discovered it in other related coronaviruses. Many scientists have expressed doubt that furin cleavage sites even exist in nature.
USRTK previously reported In January 2020, Christian G. Andersen, a Danish evolutionary biologist and professor of immunology at the Scripps Research Institute, said the problem with gain-of-function research is “like a how-to manual for constructing the Wuhan coronavirus in the lab.” was raised.
Andersen reportedly brought to British evolutionary biologist and virologist Edward Holmes' attention to the “furin cleavage site between the S1 and S2 junctions,” which has a distinctive feature for genetic engineering.
Holmes responded, “Damn, this is bad.”
On January 31, 2020, Dr. Andersen sent a letter to then-Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci, saying, “We need to look very closely at the genome to find features that may have been genetically engineered.'' We need to do that…I think we should mention it.”After discussions earlier today, Eddie [Holmes]bob [Garry],microphone [Farzan], and I myself feel that the genome is inconsistent with the predictions of evolutionary theory. ”
Fauci downplayed the lab leak theory on cable news and from the White House podium. Peter Daszak co-signed the Lancet statement dated February 19, 2020. mock Claims that the virus may have leaked from WIV have been flagged as a “conspiracy theory.”
