The United States has launched a ‘full scale investigation’ into whether COVID-19 escaped from a biolab in Wuhan, China, according to Fox News.
According to the report, US intelligence operatives are gathering information regarding the laboratory and the initial outbreak of the virus, which was found in a horseshoe bat specimen collected by scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2013 in a cave in Yunnan, China.
The investigation will help intelligence analysts piece together a timeline for what the CCP knew, as well as ‘create an accurate picture of what happened.’
The findings, which aren’t expected to take long, will then be presented to the Trump administration to determine how to hold China accountable for the pandemic which has killed over 150,000 people and infected at least 2 million as of this writing.
On Wednesday, Fox News reported that the virus likely originated in the Wuhan lab as part of an effort to prove that China’s ability to identify and combat viruses is equal or greater to the United States, as opposed to the creation of a bioweapon. Although according to the Nobel Prize-winning professor who discovered HIV, SARS-CoV-2 is a manipulated virus which was accidentally released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Professor Luc Montagnier says that the virus was clearly being used to study an AIDS vaccine.
“With my colleague, bio-mathematician Jean-Claude Perez, we carefully analyzed the description of the genome of this RNA virus,“ explains Luc Montagnier, interviewed by Dr Jean-François Lemoine for the daily podcast at Pourquoi Docteur, adding that others have already explored this avenue:
“In order to insert an HIV sequence into this genome, molecular tools are needed, and that can only be done in a laboratory,” he added.
Fox News, on the other hand, says that “sources point to the structure of the virus, in saying the genome mapping specifically shows it was not genetically altered,” and that “initial transmission of the virus was a naturally occurring strain that was being studied there - and then went into the population in Wuhan.”
Perhaps Fox, or their sources, are giving China a pass on the question of engineering.
Meanwhile, US officials are “100 percent confident that China went to great lengths to cover up after the virus was out,” and that the World Health Organization (WHO) was either complicit in the coverup, or looked the other way.
The president hinted at an investigation on Wednesday when he told Fox News’ John Roberts: “More and more we’re hearing the story…we are doing a very thorough examination of this horrible situation.”
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday reiterated that the administration was eyeing the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and accused the Chinese government of stonewalling scientists from finding out what happened. -Fox News
“We know that the first sightings of this occurred within miles of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. We know that this – the history of the facility, the first BSL-4 lab where there’s high-end virus research being conducted, took place at that site,” said Mike Pompeo on the Hugh Hewitt show. “We know that the Chinese Communist Party, when it began to evaluate what to do inside of Wuhan, considered whether the WIV was, in fact, the place where this came from.”
“And most importantly, we know they’ve not permitted the world’s scientists to go into that laboratory to evaluate what took place there, what’s happening there, what’s happening there even as we speak,” he added.
There has been speculation for months, not just in the U.S., that the virus originated in a Chinese laboratory. A February study on the origins of the virus from the South China University of Technology concluded: “In addition to origins of natural recombination and intermediate host, the killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan.”
Should it turn out that the virus escaped from a Chinese laboratory, the global pushback against the Chinese government could be significant. The virus has infected and killed hundreds of thousands of people and ravaged economies across the globe. Trump, who has frequently taken a hardline towards China even before the crisis, would be expected to lead calls to make Beijing face consequences. -Fox News

Without getting into the long article I had before, The Wuhan Lab is going to be for years under international investigation and suspicion. This ChiCom Government will allow and use other dangerous viral strains in the future to attack the United States of America and other nations of the world for ultimate global conquest.
They already are, it’s a new strain of the SARS virus and will likely be released within a year or so! That lab is owned by George Soros and he is dead set on collapsing our economy and the economy of all the free world! It’s been he’s dream for decades!
Bring him to me, I will pull his heart out & set it on fire.
I think it was done to profit themselves, which it has. With 1.4 billion people they can loose 400 million, NO problem!
What they should really look at is how the Obama administration and the USA companies contributed to this.
World health organization also has there hands in it.
Remember $ had to come from somewhere not only China.
You are right. We know Soros provided the money to build the lab. Does he not control the
Democrat party? My thinking is that Pelosi,
Schummer are his puppets and at his beacon call, they are all behind this trying to keep President Trump from being re-elected, but they are already defeated, he’s got the election. Saw a video, where Pelosi was on the streets of Chinatown urging people to come to Chinatown
I wish there was a way to do away with Democrat party. All the more need to earnestly pray for our President and nation. Something is up, because they have started again to take control of our guns and weapons. We need to fight for our rights as never before and not give in to these Nazi’s.
To Pat: …………..ABSOLUTELY CORRECT in everything you say here!!!
I truly believe that no matter what ,everything preceding this pandemic was put into place way before by Dems. The impeachment facade was the smokescreen used to allow Dems to orchestrate this outbreak of Covid19. Dems have been working with China way before Trump. The sanctuary cities are where these corrupt terrorists are living for what Dems have plans on doing. Obama admin had several cdc issues of missing specimens of virus’s and I always said it’s just a matter of time. Ebola brought back to the USA from Obama was the defining moment for Dems ,so they can use this to disrupt the world and have everyone under Dems control. I’m not crazy, but DEMS are desperate, and Valerie Jarrett was the first one to claim harmful actions to be done to anyone who is against Obama admin. and their agenda for hostile takeover of OUR GREAT COUNTRY.
Bingo!! Right!!!
Well maybe they can get the FISA court to approve it! And why not, they’ll approve anything!
All you guys say is true. Global dependency on China is suicidal. China proved one more time who is the boss. That is a new type of war without bullets.The manufacturing needs to be brought back out of this communist country. That what Trump is trying to start doing. But bas…ards like Pelossi, Shumer, Nadler, Shiff and alike prevent him from doing his job. They want US to fail.
