Lab Leak Most Likely Origin of Covid-19 Pandemic, Energy Department Now Says
U.S. agency’s revised assessment is based on new intelligence
WSJ, February 26, 2023

OK - so the Department of Energy has joined the FBI in determining that the virus was a lab escape. ...



So now, according to the FBI and the Department of Energy, it looks like Jon Stewart and all of us conspiracy theorists may have been right after all. In fact, it turns out there were and are people in the three letter agencies who also agree with the lab leak origin, even back in 2021.

Waiting for the apologies to start in 10, 9, 8. 7…. Crickets.

Once upon a time, Dr. Anthony Fauci wanted Americans to know vaccines had risks and scientists couldn’t always give people the answers they wanted.

Yes.

This actually happened. And I have the proof.

It was 2002, after the anthrax and Sept. 11 attacks. Fauci was pushing for a big rise in federal bioterrorism spending for his institute.

By 2007, after Saddam Hussein’s laboratories turned out to be empty shells, researchers had repurposed the threat to “emerging infectious diseases” - bird flu and coronaviruses, found in Chinese caves rather than Middle Eastern labs. ...

But at the time, the money was in the War on Terror. Fauci - then as now - knew how to follow the money.

So, in April 2002, as the United States was beginning to gear up to invade Iraq, Fauci gave an interview called “Expanded Biodefense Role for the National Institutes of Health.” ...

Fauci’s main pitch was a program that rapidly would match novel genetically engineered pathogens to the best possible treatments, a program he called “bug to drug in 24 hours.” ...

So, let's get this straight. The government totally over-funded Fauci under the guise of preventing bioterrorism and what they accomplished is Fauci's facilitation of full-blown global bioterrorism. Am I missing something or is it that fricking simple?

The U.S. Government Created the Vaccine, Did It Also Create the Virus?

... More sinister “conspiracy theories” aside, was COVID-19 intentionally engineered by the U.S. government with the intent to infect human specimens with the virus so that it could then test its revolutionary mRNA technology?

If you were a scientist developing a revolutionary vaccine technology intended to accelerate vaccine development from years to months, how would you test it? Such technology could not be put to the test without the introduction of a pathogen, or virus, upon which to test it. Such a test would necessitate the infection of a human specimen on which to conduct a trial.

Among other tyrannical uses, was the pandemic unleashed to give DARPA the clinical trial it needed to test its technology?

Was it an accident or was it intentional? Were the Chinese to blame or was the U.S. government? These are questions that must be answered.

Intentionally or not, the American people were used as lab rats for an experimental vaccine — a vaccine, which had been in development for nearly a decade.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — According to several unnamed sources, Dr. Anthony Fauci has grown increasingly irritated as China appears to be getting blamed for creating COVID-19 — an accomplishment for which Fauci believes he deserves at least partial credit.

"The Wuhan Virology Lab would be nothing without me! NOTHING, I say!" said an irate Fauci to several nearby witnesses. "I made them who they are. I made sure they received funding to weaponize coronaviruses. It was ME! Me alone! Not them! I killed MILLIONS! I brought regimes to their knees! Mountains crumbled before my terrible wrath! And then I saved the world from my own wrath! I am GOD! MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!"

Sources say the Wendy's drive-thru worker he was yelling at then asked him to leave at once.

Experts in virology and international espionage concur with Fauci's assessment, saying that COVID gain-of-function research was Fauci's project, funded at his direction in Wuhan after domestic labs said the work was too dangerous. Many are insisting Fauci be given some of the credit, or at least a marble statue of his likeness in front of the New York City morgue.

So now, according to the FBI and the Department of Energy, it looks like Jon Stewart and all of us conspiracy theorists may have been right after all. In fact, it turns out there were and are people in the three letter agencies who also agree with the lab leak origin, even back in 2021.

Waiting for the apologies to start in 10, 9, 8. 7…. Crickets.

The timing of the "leak" just after the second impeachment and failure to remove Trump is very sus.

Dr. Fauci has repeatedly maintained, under oath, that the NIH and NAIAD have not been involved in gain of function research with the EcoHealth Alliance program. But according to the documents obtained by Project Veritas which outline why EcoHealth Alliance’s proposal was rejected, DARPA certainly classified the research as gain of function.

“The proposal does not mention or assess potential risks of Gain of Function (GoF) research,” a direct quote from the DARPA rejection letter.

Major Murphy’s report goes on to detail great concern over the COVID-19 gain of function program, the concealment of documents, the suppression of potential curatives, like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, and the mRNA vaccines. ...

It is time for more than Congressional and 3-letter agency investigations. It is time that criminal charges be brought against those who have created and released this virus upon the world. ...

Because of its (now) known nature, the SARr-CoV-WIV's illness is readily resolved with early treatment that inhibits the viral replication that spreads the spike proteins around the body (which induce a harmful overactive immune response as the body tries to clear the spikes from the ACE receptors). Many of the early treatment protocols ignored by the authorities work because they inhibit viral replication or modulate the immune response to the spike proteins, which makes sense within the context of what EcoHealth was creating. Some of these treatment protocols also inhibit the action of the engineered spike protein. For instance, Ivermectin (identified as curative in April 2020) works throughout all phases of illness because it both inhibits viral replication and modulates the immune response. Of note, chloroquine phosphate (Hydroxychloriquine, identified April 2020 as curative) is identified in the proposal as a SARSr-CoV inhibitor, as is interferon identified May 2020 as curative).

The gene-encoded, or mRNA, vaccines work poorly because they are synthetic replications of the already-synthetic SARSr-CoV-WIV spike proteins and possess no other epitopes. The mRNA instructs the cells to produce synthetic copies of the SARSr-CoV-WIV synthetic spike protein directly into the bloodstream, wherein they spread and produce the same ACE2 immune storm that the recombinant vaccine does. Many doctors in the country have identified that the symptoms of vaccine reactions mirror the symptoms of the disease, which corroborates with the similar synthetic nature and function of the respective spike proteins.

Fauci Persuaded Scientists to Fabricate Covid Origins Paper Ruling Out Lab Leak

Dr. Anthony Fauci persuaded renowned scientists to fabricate a paper on the origins of COVID-19 to cover up the lab leak narrative, congressional investigators have alleged.

Details have emerged to suggest that Fauci sought to cover up evidence that he offshored illegal gain-of-function research to China.

The dangerous research sought to make bat coronaviruses more transmissible to humans.

In wake of the first Covid outbreak in China in 2019, several top scientists raised the alarm that the virus appeared to have been engineered in a lab.

However, they quickly changed their tune after Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded the scientists with millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded grants, as Slay News reported.

On February 1, 2020, shortly after the virus had spread internationally, Fauci and his boss, NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins, held a conference call with at least eleven other scientists.

During the call, several of the scientists warned that COVID-19 may have leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China.

They also raised concerns that the virus appeared to have been intentionally genetically manipulated.

Three days after the call, four participants from the call (Scripps Research virologist Kristian Andersen, University of Sydney virologist Edward Holmes, Tulane School of Medicine virologist Robert Garry, University of Edinburgh virologist Andrew Rambaut and Columbia University virologist Ian Lipkin) seemingly discarded their concerns over a lab leak. ...

The scientists then drafted “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” and sent the paper to Fauci and Collins.

Despite not being credited yet, Dr. Jeremy Farrar, the current Chief Scientist at the World Health Organization (WHO), was also heavily involved.

As Slay News first reported last week, two authors of the “Proximal Origin” paper, Andersen and Garry, received millions in NIH grants from Fauci after they changed their tune.

But there is more: “Dr. Redfield clearly states that the gain of function research received funding from the NIH, State Department, USAID, and from DOD.

@VigilantFox
Dr. Robert Redfield: "There's No Doubt That NIH Funded Gain-of-Function Research"

Ms. Malliotakis: "Is it likely that American tax dollars funded the gain-of-function research that created this virus?"

Dr. Redfield: "I think it did — not only from NIH but from the State…

Will Xi Den simply veto it?

Josef Mengele Fauci’s Lie of Omission Kills Millions Worldwide Monday

Given the most recent news about how Communist China is threatening America for pointing our fingers at the Wuhan bioweapons lab as the source of the pandemic, I thought it would be worth rebooting this earlier post. I will not rest until Fauci is held accountable! ...

Fauci’s NIH funding had been specifically used in Wuhan to conduct so-called “gain-of-function experiments” that can transform harmless bat viruses into human killers like COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2 was in all probability genetically engineered using Fauci’s gain-of-function technologies...

Fauci was also acutely aware that he, himself, along with National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins, had gone behind the back of the Trump White House to lift the ban on gain-of-function experiments in 2017. That ban had been imposed by the Obama administration in 2014 after a series of dangerous accidents that should have warded Fauci off from the dangerous game of God he was playing. Instead, after the ban was lifted, Fauci promptly began funding additional gain-of-function experiments at the Wuhan lab, experiments that likely led directly or indirectly to the pandemic.[ii]

Put all these facts together and Tony Fauci had, on the day he walked into the Situation Room on January 28th, 2020, both a moral and ethical obligation as well as a duty to his country to disclose all these facts both to the president and the White House Coronavirus Task Force.

Instead of coming clean, the not so good Doctor Fauci would engineer an elaborate cover-up designed to advance a “virus from nature” theory and thereby hide his own possible role as the Godfather of the pandemic.

Fauci would engineer this cover-up with the help of a corrupt bureaucratic cutout named Peter Daszak of the EcoHealth Alliance and a group of scientists, including Kristian Andersen, Robert Garry, and Michael Farzan. These cover-up artists had received substantial NIH funding through the largess of Tony Fauci prior to the pandemic; and, once that cover-up was executed, these scientists would receive tens of millions of dollars more in hush money grant funding.[iii] How these highly educated elites look themselves in the mirror I simply cannot comprehend.

Denials by Fauci and Collins of Supporting Gain-of-Function Research Are "Brazenly Untruthful"

As concerns mount regarding the US's funding of gain-of-function research on dangerous pathogens, documents from a 2014 public records request cast doubt on the honesty of health officials...

To recap:

1) Francis Collins claimed that the NIH/NIAID never approved any grant that would have supported “gain-of-function” research on coronaviruses that would have increased their transmissibility or lethality for humans.

2) The NIH halted research on 18 separate projects, at least five of which were on coronaviruses, for potentially creating versions that were more deadly in or transmissible among humans.

3) Five projects on coronaviruses were exempted from the pause—solely because a funding-agency official declared they were urgently necessary.

The apparent falsity of the Collins statement is so striking that I wondered if perhaps I was confused. I reached out to Dr. Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at the Waksman Institute of Microbiology at Rutgers University, and an expert on and vocal critic of gain-of-function research of concern. We ran through the Collins statement and the various documents, of which Ebright was already familiar. Ebright—who has testified before Congress about gain-of-function research—said, “Collins’ statement, like similar statements made by Fauci, is untruthful. Knowingly, willfully, and brazenly untruthful.”

Fauci "You use lockdowns to get people vaccinated" from Freedom...

Anthony Fauci, America’s infectious disease czar, apparently sought a crowning career triumph, which would have been a successful vaccine against a dangerous virus. So, he arranged to engineer the organism that he could then triumph against. Like all of Dr. Fauci’s projects over the roughly forty years that he ran the NIAID agency, the mRNA vaccines — subcontracted to the US Military and manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna — turned out to be an epic fiasco.

Covid-19 also happened to be a convenient device for ridding the government of the troublesome President Trump, who threatened to disassemble major parts of the permanent US bureaucracy. If you revisit the many videos of Mr. Trump appearing in the White House Covid crisis room in early 2020 with Dr. Fauci, Dr. Deborah Birx, and other public health officials, I’m sure you will notice his discomfort, as if he suspected he was being played (he was). And conveniently, right after that, the locked-down public’s attention was galvanized by the George Floyd, BLM, and Antifa riots until the 2020 election was upon us. (Another grotesque prank against the people, never adjudicated.)

It took more than a year after the “vaccines” came out for the disturbing actuarial data to emerge from the life insurance industry that many non-elderly people were being killed and disabled by the shots’ adverse effects. (I think the censors were caught by surprise that the truth leaked out from there.) Meanwhile, any able investigator could understand how the half-assed “vaccines,” along with the denigration of off-label early treatment medicines, the reckless use of dangerous remdesivir combined with enormous government payments to hospitals for mis-treating patients with it, the gaming and hiding of CDC statistics, and the obvious censorship of all that information in the corporate news and social media (with help from the CIA and FBI), all added up to a monstrous criminal offense against human decency.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken just testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, during which he was confronted by minority committee member Rand Paul. As Senator Paul states, leaked State Department cables sent years prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic expressed alarm about lax security in Chinese Biosecurity Labs. As it turns out, the State Department was (yet another federal agency!) involved in coronavirus research projects, components of which were conducted in China.

As Senator Paul emphasizes, the grant proposals and papers he has repeatedly requested are NOT classified. The trouble is not the legality of divulging them to the Senate, but the State Department’s refusal to divulge them.

Senator Paul’s questioning of Blinken caught my eye because it reminded me of something that Senator Ron Johnson told us when we visited him at his office last summer—namely, that various federal agencies simply refuse to fulfill his requests for information. It wasn’t the time and place for me to query him about this, but I was astounded by his statement that executive branch appointees and bureaucrats apparently feel no obligation to respond to requests from an elected representative of the People.

Has the Legislative Branch (provided for in Article I. of the U.S. Constitution) become generally weaker than the Executive Branch, or does this lack of power only afflict minority members?

Madison warned about the danger of an “overgrown executive,” but I don’t recall what exactly he proposed as a remedy to this problem that has recurred throughout history. I wonder if there are any Constitutional scholars among our readership who could shed light on this.

Back to Blinken’s testimony: Why does the State Department feel compelled to conceal its coronavirus research documentation from the Senate? Antony Blinken’s dodgy answers to Senator Paul’s questions are reminiscent of Anthony Fauci’s dodgy answers to the Senator’s questions.

Until recently, I would have suggested that the matter be referred to the Department of Justice for a criminal investigation, but that increasingly strikes me as the historical equivalent of the Roman Senate asking the Emperor Nero’s prefect of the Praetorian Guard to investigate suspicions of corruption in the imperial household.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — After a recent all-night HBO binge session, Dr. Anthony Fauci reportedly called up his friends at the Wuhan Institute to see if they could make him a batch of that gnarly zombie fungus from the series The Last of Us.

"Hey there Chin. It's me, Tony," said the former NIAID Director nervously. "So, I know you guys typically just do virus stuff, but I was watching this TV show last night and saw this fungus thing called 'Cordyceps' that turns people into freaky mushroom zombies. Do you think you could whip me up a batch of that?"

Fauci went on to explain that the fungus must be much more deadly and transmissible than the version from the TV show and that it shouldn't be released into the general population until he confirms Pfizer has a vaccine and he has invested a few million in it. "We have to be really careful on this one. Have you heard of those 'Clicker' zombies? Or those things they call 'Bloaters?' Makes me shudder just thinking about it!" he warned.

Senator Rand Paul reacted to the news, saying: "This is ridiculous! Is he crazy? Why on earth would we need a zombie fungus? What's wrong with this psycho doctor?" Paul was then reprimanded by the Senate Health Committee for his extreme lack of decorum.

At publishing time, several Wuhan locals had reported seeing wet market shoppers with fungi on their heads.

The PCR tests were absurdly over-sensitive, enabling the authorities to detect exactly as much COVID-19 as they wanted to detect. There’s no question that the insane social interventions and counter-productive treatments contributed significantly to the death toll. And of course, people are extremely suggestible – the nocebo effect is a real thing.

However, I’m pretty sure the COVID-19 virus is real, and I’m pretty sure it came from a lab.

My own personal experience is quite enough to convince me of the former. I’ve had the virus twice, and each time it was like no cold or flu that I’ve ever had. The second time, last September, was the worst. I tested positive on the day I fell ill, and negative a few days later when the symptoms had cleared up. ...

As to its origin in a lab, enough virologists have remarked on the bizarre features of the furin cleavage site, the cytotoxic spike protein, and various aspects of the viral genome to make a reasonable case in my mind at least that they’re not talking nonsense. Combine that with the presence of a biosafety lab in Wuhan, a long organizational paper trail of grant applications and funding allocations and peer-reviewed publications relating to gain of function research, a biowarfare facility in Fort Detrick, the emails revealing the attempt by that little goblin Fauci and his merry band of lickspittle lab trolls to squelch all talk of gain of function research or lab leaks, and years of censorship and mockery of the lab leak scenario by every official regime organ. That’s a lot of smoke if there’s no fire.

Baric & the malfeasants working on the bat & mouse coronaviruses, notice the date on this NIH Fauci-Collins grant (2014) so research was going on before; I believe the leak & clone work happened here

go to page 161 and read what I have highlighted! Right there they tell us they just created this chimeric deadly coronavirus! Menachery & Baric publish in 2015 & 2016 about this deadly research

When Trump's NIH pulled Peter Daszak's grant to Wuhan in April 2020, the pushback was unimaginable. 77 Nobel laureates begged NIH to give it back.
So did 31 different "scientific societies" -- see an article in SCIENCE magazine, the journal of the American Academy for the Advancement of Science

The New York Times appeared to turn on Dr. Anthony Fauci in a recently published opinion essay that criticized the former NIH director's approach to information sharing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Times contributing opinion writer Megan Stack wrote a column titled 'Dr. Fauci Could Have Said a Lot More,' that primarily explored the government scientist's stifling of the COVID lab leak theory that most Americans have now come to believe.

Stack, a former China correspondent, wrote that Fauci and British zoologist, Peter Daszak, were early to refute in near absolute terms the theory that the novel coronavirus sprung out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Not only was that information not necessarily true, but, wrote Stack, the pair could have qualified their statements in ways that exposed Americans to more of the full picture, but they did not.

Stack further condemned Fauci for initially lying that masks weren't effective, then becoming their biggest champion, and repeatedly moving the needle on when it would be safe to lift lockdown measures.

Fauci has appeared in a new PBS documentary series: “American Masters.” The clip is titled: “Dr. Fauci visits D.C. to battle vaccine hesitancy,” and is from June 2021.

In the below segment, Fauci and DC Mayor are shown going door to door in southeast D.C. Their goal is to talk to residents on their doorstep and urge them to get the COVID-19 vaccine. ...

Fauci and Bowser then push the vaccine to a man from the bottom of the steps. They instantly get rejected. The man tells Fauci, America is not satisfied with the information being given out about the vaccine and questions the timeline of the vaccine development.

Mayor Bowser then responds to guilt trip this man for prolonging the pandemic. She (falsely) believes the vaccine stops transmission. She says:

The only reason I’m talking to you right now, as close as we are, is that I’ve been vaccinated. If thousands of people like you don’t get vaccinated, you’re going to let this virus continue to percolate in this country and in this world.

The man then added:

When you start talking about paying people to get vaccinated, when you start talking about incentivizing things to get people vaccinated, it’s something else going on with that. Y’all’s campaign is about fear. It’s about inciting fear in people. Y’all attack people with fear.

After that exchange, Fauci, Bowser and their team quickly left. The clip ends with Fauci applying hand sanitizer in the back seat of his chauffeured car.

COVID Likely Emerged From Wuhan Lab — and Earlier Than Previously Believed, Senate Report Concludes

COVID-19 likely resulted from an accidental leak at a laboratory in Wuhan, China, and triggered the start of the pandemic earlier in 2019 than Chinese government officials claimed, according to a Senate report released today.

@KanekoaTheGreat
Former DNI John Ratcliffe says the CDC Director, the Secretary of State, and the Director of National Intelligence agreed that COVID-19 was most likely created in the Wuhan lab, but Dr. Anthony Fauci labeled the lab origin as a "conspiracy theory" because he funded the lab:

"You had the top diplomat, the top of the intelligence community, the top public health official all telling you with some confidence level that the most likely origin of this was a lab leak...

Some of those individuals, including Dr. Fauci, were promoting the idea that this was natural origins, and notwithstanding the language which was read, they were referring to this publicly as a conspiracy theory in certain conversations and interviews...

The best evidence of that is their own conversations, which say that they didn't want unwanted attention to the relationships that were taking place between Western virologists and those working within the Wuhan Institute of Virology and funding sources for some of that research."
